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.

The DASH Diet Action Plan is an easy-to-read, commonsense guide to getting your diet on track to lower blood pressure and cholesterol. The book includes some simple, but tasty sounding recipes that I plan to try, and sample menus are given for 1200, 1600, and 2000 a day diets. There is even space, workbook style, for you to include your own notes for your personalized action plan. The last presents a problem, though, because this paperback binding is so poor that the book fell apart the first day I began writing in it. The information in this text is excellent, but I suggest finding the book in a hardcover format if you really plan to use this book as a how-to manual.

My husband and I are both on this diet and loving it. My husband's blood pressure was "edging" up..now better after three weeks. We know his cholesterol is down.
The food is excellent...there is enough variation that you don't get bored. We plan on completeing the 4 week plan and just start over again.
This is the healthiest food plan we've ever followed.

I was a nonbelieer that a change in diet would actually have an affect on my blood pressure.
I'm into week 3 of the diet and have actually dropped 10 points on my BP!
I'm a bleiever! Try it, it does work.

This has been amazing for me. I am on 5 drugs for my blood pressure and even so it has crept up to dangerous levels. I started this diet and followed it faithfully and within 2 weeks my BP had dropped right down to a level which is lower than I have ever been in my life. What's more, I have lost 5 pounds into the bargain without really trying. Definitely worth buying.

The book is interesting and has a lot of how to's, recipes and helps that will make it easy to use...We'll see what the lab results are in a month or so...

Actually ordered this book for my daughter. I have had a copy for several years, and practically live by it. I would certainly recommend it for anyone who has hypertension. It has helped me tremendously in managing my hypertension, and now it is helping my daughter as well. For anyone who is willing to change their lifestyle to gain better health!

Very useful book. I have lost 10 lbs, using these easy to follow meal suggestions, in just 2 weeks. Best of all, my blood pressure is going down The recipes that I have tried, have been good too.

if you have high blood pressure and want to lower it naturally without medications you should try this book.....it helped me start eating right and lost weight and lwered blood pressure

I was impressed with this book though I had researched the DASH diet prior to purchasing the book. Great menus for a month, which is very helpful, and this is a lifestyle I can live with forever. I've lost 24 pounds and don't feel I've deprived myself, so I know I can live with it for life...and a better life with lowered BP (less meds now).
