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.

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 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.

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.

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.
