Product Description
The DASH Diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) has been proven in several research studies, sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to lower blood pressure and cholesterol without medication. It is the diet recommended by the NIH for lowering blood pressure. The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend this eating plan for everyone. And the DASH diet forms the basis for the USDA MyPyramid. The DASH diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, low fat or nonfat dairy, and includes lean meats, fish and poultry, grains, nuts and beans. It will help lower cholesterol and will support healthy weight loss. It is flexible enough to meet the lifestyle and food preferences of most people. However, many people find it challenging to put the DASH diet into practice. This is the user-friendly book, designed to make it easy; it was written by a dietitian who is experienced in helping people make sustainable changes in how they eat. This book shows you how to follow the DASH diet in your real life. How to eat on-the-run, 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 adjustments for 1200, 1600, and 2000 calorie plans), and DASH-friendly recipes. It shows you how to make other lifestyle changes to lower blood pressure, such as losing weight and adding exercise. 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." The book helps you make your own personal plan, with the specific steps you will take to fit the DASH diet into your daily routine. 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.

Just What I Needed!.......2007-10-09
This is SUCH a great aid if you are following the DASH diet. It makes it so easy to make meals and stick to eating healthy foods. Thank you Ms. Heller!
Science and Creativity - A Great Combo for Lifestyle Change.......2007-05-28
This is a great book - it hits the balance between being grounded in the best science around, yet it is easy and fun to follow. I can see from other reviews that people are using the recipes and the plans. As a dietitian and health educator, the sort of self-tests and forms in this book give people an easy way to track how they're doing, or even to learn their baseline. If you struggle with cholesterol or high blood pressure, this is a great addition to your bookself (just remember not to let it rest on the shelf too much!).
DASH diet.......2007-05-17
I haven't fully read the whole book yet but have started to use the recipes, I find them very easy to follow even though they are in American measures.
At work eating plan.......2007-05-13
After reading this book as well as the Glusimax Index book I have changed my eating habits at work. I get 5 or 6 varieties of vegetables as well as some nuts, raisins and a small amount of lean meat. I grind everything in a blender until it looks like coleslaw. Carry to work in several large baggies - ( I walk about a mile to public transportation (BART)and then about another mile from PT to the work site ). I take with me 4 or 5 pieces of fruit also. I eat Oatmeal with frozen berries around 6AM at work, then three 1 1/2 cups worth of the vegetable blend stuff with some tobasco and oil and vinegar dressing at 10, 12 and 2. I have lost 10 lbs in the last 3 weeks. I never really feel hungry! That's the best part. Terry - OH! I stopped drinking beer & vodka on a regular basis.
Great Book.......2007-03-31
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.

The DASH Diet for Hypertension, recommended by the American Heart Association, has been shown in studies to lower blood pressure in two weeks without the use of drugs. The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet emphasizes fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy; includes moderate amounts of fish, poultry, and nuts; and reduces consumption of red meat and sweets. Studies from the National Institutes of Health followed 800 participants and found that the DASH diet lowered blood pressure as much as typical medication.
This is no quirky diet--it's the way the major medical groups have been advising us to eat all along, but with a specific formula that tells you how many servings to eat from each Food Pyramid food group. You also get suggestions for exercising moderately, losing weight, reducing salt, and food shopping.
Included are two weeks of daily menus and 62 recipes, with modified favorites like Macaroni and Cheese and Sweet and Sour Pork with Vegetables, plus innovative dishes such as Mango/Black Bean Salad with Grilled Shrimp and Sweet-Potato Chips (baked). The authors are medical hypertension experts associated with Harvard and Duke medical centers. Recommended for people who want to lower their blood pressure or just eat more healthfully. --Joan Price
Book Description
More than 50 million Americans suffer from high blood pressure, and most of them control it by taking prescription drugs with potentially dangerous side effects. But there is a natural, affordable, and easy-to-manage alternative to medication: the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet. Developed by a world-class team of doctors and nutritionists, the DASH diet is clinically proven to lower blood-pressure levels and thereby reduce the risk of heart failure, stroke, and kidney disease. Now, with The DASH Diet for Hypertension, readers can benefit from:
• A hearty and healthful selection of DASH menus, recipes, even grocery lists
• DASH weight-loss and exercise programs for everyday living
• The science behind DASH, including calorie worksheets and a formula to calculate body-mass
...and much more from this revolutionary program, which is recommended by the American Heart Association; the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; the American Society for Hypertension; and other leading medical authorities.

Drug free hypertension control.......2007-04-01
If you need to make sense of hypertension, this book will help you control it and even beat it without drugs. Includes recipes, meal plans and shopping lists.
Finally something that makes sense.......2007-01-10
This book helped make sense of a scarey medical situation and give us the tools to pretty much do a makeover of our eating habits and lifestyle. It comes with helpful meal plans and shopping lists. I would recommend it to anyone who is really serious about making some changes.
Dash Diet works.......2006-08-25
Not only has the Dash Diet helped with my hypertenion, but I have also lost a few pounds which also helps. Following the suggested foods, you are automatically eating more healthy and have more energy. I would suggest it for anyone and not just those looking to help with hypertension.
Very easy diet!.......2006-01-30
This diet is very easy and I have already lost 8 pounds after only 3 weeks. My blood pressure is also dropping. The only reason I did not give this book 5 stars is that they do not offer any substitutions for foods that I do not like.
The best after the Bible!.......2005-06-28
Yes, indeed, this is a book that I will always keep. After the Bible, this is the best present I have made to myself. It changed the way I thought about lots of things, it gave me a desire to live the life that God wanted, a healthy one. If I am made with love, why shouldn't I treat myself with love? The recipes are great. Even my husband, who doesn't have hipertension, likes them! So, don't let it pass and get this book soon. You will not regret it!

its ok.......2007-03-10
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.
Dash Diet.......2007-03-09
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.
Dash diet action plan.......2007-02-21
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.
Small and expensive.......2007-01-25
This book do have a lot of information in it and it is easily accessible. But it is a small book and the print is large so for $19.99 I was surprised and disappointed before I even opened it.
However, it describes the diet well I think and makes a good case for increasing veg and fruits into an every day diet. It also gives some tools for managing that in daily life. There were fewer recipes than I expected but if I had known it's such a small book I would not expect more. Reading it does give a positive feel for approaching the DASH diet.
My biggest disappointment however was the meal suggestions. How a normal person/couple/family could possibly manage to cook all that healthy food on weekdays is beyond me (just look at breakfasts for week one: cereal, omelette, french toast, waffles (!)...). Normal people stick to a formula (like cereal) for breakfast and vary it around that. A discussion of the importance of variation would be useful at that point, but to expect new items every breakfast is not what the most people can cope with. Same goes with lunch.
It would also be an expensive menu to follow because of the millions of fresh food items you need to keep (and will get wasted as you wont use them) and you'd have to be prepared to get a large freezer, for how else could you not have to throw away day twos left-over lunch ham when there's no other ham on the menu for 28 days (I might be wrong there.) Most people buy one topping and use it every other day until it is used up - or use left over meats from dinners.
The book would have benefitted from an (extensive) assortment of weekday menu items, such as the ham and cheese sandwich followed by a discussion of the importance to vary the food.
On the dinners I have little to comment, I have yet to try the recipes out. I doubt we're going to eat chicken three times in one week though, however prepared. I was missing any comments on lamb, which is a meat we have at home more often than beef (excluding ground beef). I do find the serving chart useful in combination with the weekly check-off form. Ticking boxes for food eaten makes it easier to get a feel for how well the diet is kept on track.

Customer Reviews:
healthy eats.......2007-08-25
Hi, it's good to eat healthy and read about such. As I approach 50, I realize the need to watch what I eat. I gave up smoking again so eating better is the next logical step in a healthier lifestyle. This is not spiral bound, or at least the copy I got isn't. I received the paperback version and was disappointed so I am taking a star off for that. At the time I ordered it, it was supposed to be the plastic comb edition which would have been better to read in bed. God bless you, Dwayne
A Potful of Recipes Review.......2007-04-01
This book was given to me by a friend of JoAnna Lund. I have used most of the recipes and I purchased a copy for a friend who loves to cook like I do. Slow Cooker recipes are hard to find and Mrs. Lund has made it easy to follow her directions and eat healthy at the same time. This is a book for all cooks!
Great recipes for the crockpot.......2006-03-19
My sister had this book and loves it so I had to get it.
It has great low-cal recipes for the crockpot.
A Potful of Recipes cookbook.......2006-03-04
This is an excellent cookbook! Everything I have made so far, my husband loves! JoAnna Lund has created another winner!
If you lend it out, you won't get it back! Love it!.......2005-11-14
This is a great cook book and I consider it in my top 3 of my collection of many! I've taken this cook book camping with us and found delicious "no hassle" recipes to put in the crock pot and forget until it's time to eat! My all time favorite recipe out of this book has to be "Raspberry Dessert Strata," not to give away the recipe, but it's like bread pudding with melted chocolate chunks, pockets of vanilla pudding, and raspberries. There are lots of easy recipes in this book, like Sloppy Joes and Southwest Chicken Stew. I bought this book 3 years ago and lent it to a good friend but it's been passed around my entire church and is sitting in someone's cupboard much against my efforts to track it down. I liked it so much I bought a replacement copy. I've learned to lend out cook books I don't use much, but never again will I let go of my "Potful of Recipes" cookbook. I highly recommend this cook book and have enjoyed many great recipes from it!
