Is It Safe To Take Splenda For Obesity?

Meal 1: 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1/2 cup blueberries, one scoop carb-free protein shake
Meal 2: 3 egg whites, 1/4 cup plain potatoes
Meal 3: 3 oz. ground turkey, low-carb wrap with a cup of romaine lettuce
Meal 4: 3 oz. grilled chicken and 1/4 of an avocado
Meal 5: 6 oz. fish with a 1/4 cup steamed jasmine rice and six pieces of asparagus
Meal 6: 6 oz. of 99% lean ground beef with 1/4 avocado and 1 cup romaine lettuce
No alcohol was allowed and most condiments were banned (with the exception of hot sauce, since it added a negligible amount of extra sugar or fat)
I will also be trying to do much more exercise. Thank you very much for any help you can give me.
Sorry, I also take metformin.
I will reinforce the diet plan with some modifications
Detailed Answer:
I feel really happy to welcome you back at my virtual clinic. I appreciate your genuine health worries and diet plans.
You were supposed to start the diet plan couple of days back, but its never too late, and it always takes some time to switch onto a different diet plan. I assure you that it suits you the best with the modifications which I already answered previously and will explain again for your ease.
My suggestions for you are:
*In meal 2 take only 1 egg white and take little less potatoes.
*In meal 4 you should take only 2 ounces of grilled chicken (and thats too, only twice weekly), its because you are already hypertensive with swelling in peripheral areas of the body.
*In Meal 6, take only 2 ounces of beef (and thats too, only twice weekly).
And yes its nice to hear that you are starting exercise too. Meditation will also help you. Yoga and stretch exercises are good. For Blood pressure patients its better to start with cardio exercises rather, instead of weight lifting and heavy exercises. I suggest aerobics for you.
Yes Splenda poses no risk to the blood sugar level. It's calorie free component of your diet, but don't forget about the calories you drinks have. Caffeine in high amounts is not good for your Blood pressure and swellings. Either take coffee or tea. Not both of them, please.
Consult your physician, he will check the extent of swelling and may need to change the dosage of Lasix or may need to add some medicine after physical examination. Once you reduce 10pounds, your BP may come down from 5-10mmHg. It will lessen your leg swellings significantly.
