Hello,
Welcome to HCM
Yes,you can follow the general motors diet to reduce weight.But you should strictly stick to your dietary rules.
I would advice you to do regular exercises along with yoga and relaxation exercises for better control of blood pressure and diabetes.
You should do brisk walking for about 30 minutes a day that sweat should come out of your body.
Avoid all sugar containing foods.
Hope you are satisfied with the answer.
Thank you
