this has been a easy to follow plan, and can see results fairly quickly if you stick to it.

Very helpful in giving a plan to help reduce blood pressure. Well written and easy to follow guidelines.

When I ordered the book, I was told that my order didn't qualify for free shipping, but if I met an amt, it would, so I ordered an additional item, but since the additional item (edger blade) was shipped from a different location/supplier, I was not given the free shipping.
I did not know that at the time.

The book was informational and the content well organized However, I was not inspired by the writing skill of the author. I found the book very easy to put down.

Had a lot of "doable" suggestions for lowering blood pressure from daily exercises to meal planning.

I purchased this book along with the Dash Diet book and absolutely love it. I needed to lose weight, but do not have hypertension. Its a great diet for everyone. Very simple, to the point and gives great information.

The book was clear, easy to follow and gave additional sheets that you could use to track you eating goals. More than anything else the plan worked for me. I had stage II hypertension before then plan... now my blood presure is within normal limits. I can't give a better review than that.

I'M TRYING TO CONTROL MY BLOOD PRESSURE THAT HAS GONE UP THIS LAST YEAR OR SO BY FOLLOWING THE DASH DIET & AT THE SAME TIME TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT. WAS TAKING A MILD DIURETIC - DID NOT SEEM TO WORK, THEREFORE, READING THROUGH THE DASH DIET BOOK - HAS TERRIFIC INFORMATION - STILL WAITING TO SEE IF IT'LL WORK. THE BOOK STATES TO DEFINITELY EAT 'WHOLE FOODS' LIKE LOTS OF FRUITS & VEGGIES & FOR SURE LOW SODIUM. THE BOOK IS GREAT FACTS & MATERIALS BASED ON SO-CALLED 'PROVEN RESULTS'. I CAN'T WAIT TO LOWER THE PRESSURE HOPEFULLY WITHOUT MEDICATIONS.

Very easy to follow book, easy read. The thing I love best in the book is the sample diet plan that is easy to follow. Before I started the dash diet my blood pressure was off the charts. After several months on the diet it is normal. I credit this book for that drop in blood pressure. I would recommend this book to others that have high blood pressure and are looking for a diet that works and is easy to follow.

This book is very informative and is an easy read. Includes great sounding recipes that you want to rush to make.

THIS WAS THE FIRST DIET THAT MADE ANY SENSE. THE MENUS & RECIPES WITH THE NUTRIENT INFORMATION MADE IT VERY INFORMATIVE.

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.

I am quite glad i bought this book. i have learn alot about nutrition over the years, however, this book reiterates much information, with some new ideas, and puts it all in order for you to easily follow and focus on your diet. it's made my diet more effective and easy. Can't say enough about it.

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!

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!).

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.

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.

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.
