The DASH Diet for Beginners: Essentials to Get Started Description
Do you know why the DASH diet is voted the "Best Diet" year after year? It's simple: The DASH diet is an easy and sustainable tool for creating a healthful lifestyle. Based on research by the National Institutes of Health, and chosen by U.S. News & World Report as its number-one choice in Best Diets Overall, Best Diets for Healthy Eating, and Best Diabetes Diets, the DASH diet rises above the noise of the gimmicky weight-loss plans.
Created as a way for people with high blood pressure to enjoy the foods they love while working to reduce or correct their hypertension, the DASH diet uses healthful food choices, along with more nutritious ways to prepare favorite dishes, to allow people to eat a varied, delicious, and balanced diet.
And although it wasn't created as a weight-loss diet, the DASH diet often does result in weight loss, which is a huge benefit to those who have diabetes or high blood pressure, or are at high risk of developing either disease.
In The DASH Diet for Beginners, best-selling health and nutrition author John Chatham provides a straightforward approach to losing weight, reducing hypertension, and improving overall cardiovascular health. More than just a brief overview of the DASH diet, The DASH Diet for Beginners compiles everything you need to know to get started on a healthful new lifestyle.

As someone with high blood pressure, I found this book packed with informative tidbits and easy-to-follow instructions. I had never heard of the DASH Diet before, and it was interesting to know that it was created by the National Institutes of Health. However, this diet is not just for people with high blood pressure, but can be used as a healthy lifestyle change for anyone, including children, and is beneficial to all.
The author, John Chatham, has conveniently laid this book out into sections. The book fully describes the diet, including reasons as to why the diet works and the health benefits it provides, and gives a comprehensive background into the origin of the diet, the studies conducted and the results of those studies. As the book states, “weight loss is just a happy side benefit of the diet.” It also provides an extensive step-by-step starting plan.
The recipes provided are clear and easy-to-follow. In addition to recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the book includes substitutes for yummy treats, chip dip and even chips, so the diet doesn’t leave you feeling denied or unfulfilled. There were even simpler recipes for the busy mom to follow. I enjoyed the well-laid-out and easy-to-read features of this book, and found the information that was provided very enlightening. I can’t wait to try it out!

The DASH diet is not a typical diet that only lasts until maximum weight is lost. It is a diet that could and should be implemented every day to create a healthy lifestyle. Weight loss is accomplished through cutting unhealthy fats and the increased intake of fiber and vitamin C. Not only is the DASH diet good for weight loss, it also helps lower high blood pressure through the low sodium and high fiber meal plans.
The key to this fantastic diet is the frequency of meals and snacks. It is important to eat at least every two or three hours to keep blood sugar levels steady. This provides an increase in energy throughout the day. This book provides essential recipes with healthy delicious ingredients and gives lists of food to enjoy those to avoid.
In addition to the food, the DASH diet uses cardio and strength training workouts. The seven day workout plan included can be modified to suit the dieter body type. Exercise helps lower the blood pressure, support metabolism, and promote the loss of stored body fat. Together, the diet and exercise routine fight hypertension, heart disease, and metabolic conditions to lose weight while creating the ultimate environment for weight loss and a healthy life.
