Title: A realistic guide to a positive lifestyle change
Review: The DASH Diet Health Plan is different than most of the fad diets you read about. Why? This isn't exclusively a weight loss plan; it's a guide to developing and maintaining a healthier lifestyle that will reduce the risk for heart disease and high blood pressure. But unlike other diets that ask you to completely cut out all fats and sugar, this plan provides delicious recipes and incorporates natural sugars and fats that have health benefits as well.After just reading the short intro to the book I was already hooked. The fact that National Institutes of Health funded the research for this diet also sets it apart from others, and gives me confidence that there is truth in what they say. It is recommended by the American Medical Association and the American Heart Association as "a heart healthy diet" and clearly explains why the foods it recommends are good for you.For me, the most appealing part of this diet is that it provides a plan that will be easy to maintain and actually develop a healthy lifestyle rather than a diet that helps you lose a few pounds, but then you drop it in a week or two and immediately regain the weight. I've tried other diets that were so unrealistic for a normal person to stick to on a daily basis that I ended up quitting them quickly. This one provides good recipes and educates you on what foods to eat and which ones to avoid so that you can even find good options to eat at a restaurant or a friend's house. They also give you tips to help you actually stick with the diet even once you've reached your ideal weight so that you are able to maintain the lifestyle. The suggestions for starting the diet are helpful too; they emphasize easing into the lifestyle change, not shocking your system and losing resolve by plunging into an extreme new routine.The shopping guide, menu plans, exercise routine recommendations, and recipes provide all the tools needed to make the change. I read through the recipes and after reading the ingredients and looking at the pictures my mouth was actually watering. I would make these recipes and serve them to guests without worrying that they'd guess I was using a diet recipe. The recipes include lots of spices and low-sodium options for dressings and sauces to add flavor without adding salt or fat.As they say in the conclusion, this is "not a quick fix - it's a new way of living and a commitment to better health".

Title: An informative book, with recipes and exercise!
Review: The DASH Diet came out of studies conducted by leading universities in the 90s. These studies showed that a diet low in sodium, high in fiber, and emphasizing good fats didn't just lower blood pressure. It also decreased weight and the chance of diabetes. The DASH Diet is endorsed by many groups, including the Mayo Clinic and American Heart Association. Incidentally, the popular salt substitute Mrs. Dash was introduced in the 80s. This book tells about those studies, and explains the diet. There's information on measuring BMI, and setting caloric amounts. The DASH Diet can be adjusted to fit individual needs. One section deals with exercise. Another offers a meal plan. It's recommended to not start the exercises and diet plan at the same time. There are several recipes for all 3 meals, along with snacks, appetizers, and desserts. Most have fruits and vegetables. Dairy, lean meats, and nuts are allowed. Not all of the recipes are gluten free. Learn how to make healthier granola and breakfast sausage. Enjoy delicious smoothies. There's even Pumpkin Pie for Breakfast. Some recipes, especially for breakfast, are more labor intensive than others. But they can be prepared ahead of time. Several recipes include wine. That may be a problem for some people. Why not offer a substitute? Ditto for others calling for coffee or cilantro. Cookbooks can be very challenging with an e-reader. This one fits the digital format better than some others. A chart in the first section could have used larger print. But the recipes have ingredients in a single column. My only complaint was in using the "go to" feature. It's only formatted for chapters, not individual recipes. This book will be very helpful for anyone wanting to be healthier. Most ingredients in these recipes are available at most supermarkets. A section on eating out on this plan would have been nice. Many food places use too much sodium. The plan is less restrictive than some diets. But it can still produce healthy results.

Title: Expert Guide with fantastic recipes
Review: This book allows you to jump right into the DASH diet with an excellent briefing on what the DASH diet is, why it is important, and strategies for success. After this there is a complete meal plan that provides you with a 14 day menu plan with detailed instructions on preparation. This is followed by a fitness workout plan section that gives simple straight forward workout plans that can be modified to fit your fitness level and schedule. The fitness section is brief but I do feel it is effective and a nice bonus.Having tried 3 DASH diet meal plans I can share my experience with others regarding the quality of the meals provided in this book. While there are only 14 days worth of meals provided, these are the 14 days you want to have. Other books I've read have provided more options but it becomes apparent that some recipes are filler recipes that merely meet the nutritional requirements versus well thought out and refined recipes designed to appeal to the palette. Thought and effort was put into selecting the best recipes. I have been very happy with just these 14 days worth of meals. Some of them are blow your mind good!I hesitate to name favorites because there are so many but just a few off the top of my head are:Arroz con polloSummer Chicken SaladCreamy Salmon dipZesty Avocado saladCreamy Seafood saladHoney-Mustard Pork ChopsI highly recommend this book if you are looking for a great guide to the DASH diet and enjoy delicious food.

Review: Chatham's DASH Diet Health Plan dazzles and delights, making it as easy to understand how to get started as I could have ever dreamed. I heard about the DASH diet from a friend, and wanted to find a book that could lay out what I actually needed to learn and do. This book delivered as promised.I love the recipes at the back of the book. They have made starting the diet so much easier for my wife and I! We're both feeling great and healthier.

Review: As a former Personal trainer and a self-proclaimed “Fitness Guru”, I tend to read many books and magazinesrelated to health, fitness and nutrition.Recently I read The DASH Diet Health Plan: Low-Sodium, Low-Fat Recipes to Promote Weight Loss, LowerBlood Pressure, by Rockridge Press.Now I must say that this book is very well written, and quite comprehensive, as it contains an extensive sectiondevoted to exercise programs, which I found very enlightening and pleasing.That being said, it’s time to go make one of my favorite lunch-time meals listed in this book; a simply deliciousNew York Turkey Melt sandwich.Bon Appetit!Written by: Dave Yablecki
