It is a healthy choice, especially for the cardiovascular system. If you enjoy the delicious taste of red meat you are screwed.
Variety without excess of any one group of food is the best avenue. Quantity consumed overall is the other concern. Take no more calories in than you burn of in activity. Diets only get complicated when trying to excel to the extreme in achieving a particular activity. Weight lifting for example, you would have to increase intake of food high in protein and such to build muscle mass.

I am guessing this means running to the kitchen to snack during commercials? lol

Dash by the fridge?

There's nowhere near enough fat in that for me to feel healthy and vital. I don't do well on low-fat diets.

I looked it up. It's not that much different than what's normally recommend to maintain good health.

Are you hoping to control hypertension? I know diets aren’t always about looking better. They are also about feeling better.

I don't have any specific advice, however, my cardiologist tells me I need to lose 20 lb and I don't know what to do. If the dash helps let me know.

I think you look great as you are!

The key to lowering blood pressure naturally is eating lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water, daily physical activity/cardio, reducing processed and fried foods, and not adding salt to foods that already have a lot of sodium. Making a few lifestyle changes like these can help keep your bp at a healthy level.

Good luck!

What is it?

I tried it when I was first diagnosed with high blood pressure. It was very effective, it controlled my BP and I lost weight. Honestly I wish I'd stayed on it but unfortunately I went back to previous eating habits and now have been paying the price. I would recommend it.

No, but for the most part, fad diets aren't normally too good nor effective long term
My dietitian says portions variety, fruits and veggies and exercise.
But , your pix make you look fit anf healthy just the way you are.

DASH has way too many carb and dairy allowences for my tastes...it may work for you.

Have you discussed this with Kojak? Can't speak for him,but I bet he finds you just as attractive as I do!

You can dash diet. I'll go wash up.

why do you want to go on that plan?

DASH diet is an excellent balanced nutrition system that is suitable for people with high blood pressure and those who want to lose weight. My brother was on this diet for six months. He managed to drop 35 feet. It was a fantastic result for him.
Since the seventh month, it has become harder to lose weight; the diet has ceased to be so effective. So he started taking male fat burners. We read a lot about it before applying, especially on this blog — Healthcanal. Be careful before using them.
Sports, healthy sleep, and herbal teas help well.

I cut the sugar ,carbs and practiced portion control and lost 117 lbs. But ended up in the hospital because of low sodium. Had to add salt to everything. this made my BP go up. So now I have to take lisinopril.

I looked at your profile pictures, and you seem healthy and attractive to me. But if you feel better about losing weight, the only thing I can say is the DASH diet appears to be healthy advice. However, diets suck! The only thing that works is deciding to live with your diet for the rest of your life otherwise you're wasting money, time and energy because it's going right back on the minute you stop and revert back to your happy food. I'm a little (being kind to myself) overweight but not so much that I'm unhealthy. I am the size that I am, and I'm happy with myself. It's not a quitter attitude that I have; I eat healthily, I exercise but, I'm not 25 years old anymore either, and unless I live to exercise and eat only cardboard for every meal, I'm going to look like a 50-year-old with a bit of a pooch.

Never heard of it.

I have considered it, but haven't done it yet. I have so many chronic diseases that it would benefit me if I did.

I have a friend that is using it to help lower his blood pressure, he said it is fine, but he was surprised by the strength of the herbs in dash, so use it sparingly. You can always add more.

Sorry... not me.
