Forget About Starving Yourself and Sweating for Hours in the Gym This book contains 77 delicious, easy-to-make recipes for effective and sustainable weight loss with easy-to-understand guidelines. Your days of trying on diet after diet after diet are finally over! When done correctly, the DASH diet can help you lose weight and lower your blood pressure in as early as two weeks. However, contrary to what the name may suggest, the DASH diet is not a speedy starve-yourself-for-a-week trick. No, it doesn’t follow the old pattern of deprivation, craving, and that sad slippery slide back to unhealthy eating habits. And ultimately, this is what makes this weight reduction plan successful. Your first step towards successful and sustainable weight loss is to view DASH as more than just a diet but as a choice. It is an important and conscious choice that you make day after day and meal after meal. Why just aspire for a fit body when you can also aim for a healthy heart? Through this book, you will gain a deeper understanding of the DASH diet, its countless benefits, and where and how you should begin. Weight loss with the DASH Diet is all about Enjoying Tasty and Fresh foods The reason why most weight loss diets fail is because they are often incompatible with most people’s lifestyles. Inevitably, dieters end up crawling back to the same old unhealthy eating pattern that has always worked for their household and their busy schedules. The great thing about the recipes found in this book is that they are simple and easy to prepare. They don’t require exotic ingredients from “special” diet stores. This diet doesn’t require isolating yourself from others during mealtime. In fact, you’ll find that these healthy, mouth-watering meals are designed to be incorporated into your daily routine with as little inconvenience and as much gastronomic pleasure as possible! What You'll Get From This Book DASH has been Around a While and Has Proven Results The DASH diet was created to help the 70 Million plus Americans that suffer from hypertension, or high blood pressure. This book contains information about foods and how this program can help lower blood pressure and the risk for certain diseases. The DASH acronym means Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. Originally, this diet was supposed to be a weight loss diet but creators found it had other benefits as well. Almost 1 in 3 adults now have raised blood pressure and almost 1 in 2 is overweight. Those numbers are staggering, but unfortunately, no one can fix them without their own initiative. The diet was designed by a group of doctors, scientists, and with the support of many professional organizations like the ADA. The diet was so good, in fact, that they decided that it was actually adopted as the model way to eat! It's not only those with blood pressure issue that can benefit. Diabetics and even children have shown great improvements while following the guidelines.
