The DASH Diet for Weight Loss
Popularized by the book, The DASH Diet Action Plan
The DASH diet supports healthy weight loss, in addition to all the health benefits. How did The DASH Diet Action Plan popularize the DASH weight loss plan?
- A diet with lots of fruits and veggies is very filling, yet low in calories.
- The menus in the book include some protein-rich foods at each meal and snack. This makes the meals more satisfying and avoids in-between meal blood sugar crashes.
- Focusing on the positive changes, that is, the foods you want to include, helps to avoid craving from thinking about what you are giving up.
- The plan is something that you can follow for a lifetime. It isn't a short term "diet."
- The meal plans do not overload on carbs, and they don't skimp on protein. The plans are low in refined starchy foods. And we need sufficient protein to avoid muscle loss, which would slow our metabolism. The older we are, the more we can benefit from getting enough protein.
- The exercise recommended in the book supports healthy weight loss, without burnout.
While the primary goal of the DASH diet was to help people lower their
blood pressure, The DASH Diet Action Plan provides a safe, easy-to-follow plan for healthy weight loss. Many readers have written to tell us that they lost significant weight in just a few weeks or months. Why do people find it easy to lose
weight with the DASH diet? The DASH diet doesn't make room for a lot of junk food. And junk food tends to increase our desire to eat, rather than quenching hunger.
For people who are concerned about carbs, the DASH diet carbs are the
healthiest ones, including fruits, vegetables, and whole
grains. Learn more about the DASH diet or more about the book. See one reader's inspiring journey with the DASH diet and weight loss, posted on Facebook. And our new book, which is now available for preorder, is a lower-carb version of DASH that turbocharges your weight loss, The DASH Diet Weight Loss Solution.
What have our readers said?
"Let me first tell you a little bit about our experience with the DASH diet.
In the few months that he's been on it, my husband has lost over 30 pounds
and lowered his blood pressure. I've started more slowly as I've been recovering
from surgery, but have still lost 10 pounds. We are very grateful for your
book and this new eating lifestyle."
"I just
wanted to drop a note regarding your book. I’ve been diagnosed with high
blood pressure and was concerned because it was not moving even with
medication. When I reached the panic stage I accidentally came across your
book and ordered it.
I had been
working out and walking 10,000 steps a day since spring but that wasn’t
budging it nor was I losing weight to speak of. My doctor’s advice was that
I had to change something.
The book
motivated me to make some positive lifestyle changes. I was able to get
some really good ideas from the menus. I watch my salt intake, watch
portions, and ultimately am cutting back calories. I completed the
formula for losing weight and am pleased to report that I am losing 1 per
week (14 pounds thus far) - trying to get about 10 more off - and my blood
pressure is in the range of 125/76 with medication.
The
principles you introduce are not so much “diet” but common sense principles
which nutritionists have been preaching forever. I feel like the poster
child for dash as well as my wellness center."
"I just wanted to spend a few seconds to "gush" about the DASH Plan. I
have lost ten pounds since beginning the diet on 1/1/05 [3 weeks
earlier]. I am enjoying finding news ways to meet my daily
requirements and feel better in general. I am suffering less from
migraines and find that I have more energy."
"Really found the book to
be very helpful My husband lost 28 lbs and I am lagging behind with 10lbs off."
