Product Description
The DASH Diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) has been proven in several National Institutes of Health research studies to lower blood pressure and cholesterol without medication. The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends this eating plan for everyone. This book shows you how to follow the DASH diet in your real life. How to eat in restaurants (even fast food), how to add more vegetables even if you hate vegetables, how to make over your kitchen to support the DASH diet, how to lose weight with the DASH diet. It has 28 days of meal plans (with calorie adjustments) and DASH-friendly recipes. And it also shows you how to make other lifestyle changes to lower blood pressure, such as weight loss and fitting exercise into your busy schedule. This book was written by a Registered Dietitian to show you the practical steps towards adopting the DASH diet in your real life. What differentiates this book from other books on the DASH Diet? This book provides practical, real life solutions. It goes beyond "what" is involved with the DASH diet; it also shows you "how." And the book helps you make your own personal plan with specific steps you will take to fit the DASH diet into your daily routine. The author is experienced in helping people make sustainable changes in how they eat. This book truly allows you to make your own personal "DASH Diet Action Plan," whether your goal is lowering blood pressure, or just having a healthier lifestyle. It is your first step in improving your health for the long run.

Post Heart attack November 12, 2008
I had a heart attack 08-09-2008. This diet was suggested in the paperwork I was sent home with from the hospital. I am 49 and had a stent put in and had Left ventricular failure. I am doing great now. I started the DASH diet immediately. (I have two younger children and have no intention of a second Heart attack) I am never hungry, love all the food and love how it helped me plan and took so much of the thinking out of it for me....something I really wasn't up to coming home from the hospital. I eat plenty...I am a teacher and I usually have more food than my peers at lunch, but I have been loosing weight. I was 212 when I went to the emergency room on 8-9-08, and as of today at the cardiologist's office I weighed 185. Along with Lipitor, my LDL is down to 50. (that is what many people are born with.) People who do not deal withheart disease may not understand the greatness of this book, but I highly recommend this book.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who is ready to enjoy wholesome food and reap the benefits of a healthier lifestyle. Don't waste your money on another fad diet book. Buy this user- friendly book based on National Institutes of Health research. The forms that are provided make it easy to set goals and track your personal progress. You will develop the skills needed to achieve long -term success as you learn about deciphering food labels, making over your kitchen, and eating away from home. The 28 days of delicious menus, culinary tips, and great recipes will show you that it is possible to enjoy fantastic food and feel full while you improve your health. As a Registered Dietitian and educator I say - order your copy now.

If you want to follow a strict diet then this is good for you, but I like more choices, so I found the diet too demanding.

This book is exceptional for people who are wanting to try something new. I ordered it for my mother in law and in 2 weeks she lost 8 lbs using this diet plan.

This book is so-so. Most of the info you can find on the NIH site or Dash site on line. The menus are nothing to rave about--and the recipes are not very inspiring. The only good thing is you can go on line with a site they have to download charts to keep records of weight, blood pressure, etc.
