This is not a "weight loss" diet but more of a "eat healthy, be healthy" diet book.
Our family has a history of hypertension and I don't want my sons to develop this problem. This book outlines a plan for reducing or avoiding high blood pressure. We are adopting the guidelines in this book. More fruit, veggies, and whole grains. Less meat, salt, and fats.
I haven't tried any of the recipes in the back of the book yet but they look good.

I picked up this book after my husband was diagnosed with high blood. The diet proposed contains a lot of food (but not a lot of meat) so I don't think we will go hungry, but the text can be a bit dull. The information did not fly over my head and I learned a lot about how hypertension occurs. Great read for anyone looking to lower blood pressure naturally.
The concepts are sound and work. The book has a lot of "filler". Information such as "do not buy fruits that smell bad". They tried to make a book out of something that is basically really short and simple. Don't eat salt. Eat lots of fruits and veggies and low fat dairy and your bp will drop. Mind has.
I liked the medical information in this book as it describes the effects of hypertension on the body and the need to reduce sodium. However, I was disappointed that the recipes in the book sometimes contained a lot more sodium than I feel comfortable allowing myself. Having recently been put on a low sodium diet as my ENT rules out Meneire's Disease, I've been searching for low sodium recipes and am much happier with just I've found on the Internet. Some of the recipes in this book take up fu...more

Learning to cook, again. This book is helpful, easy to follow, and has some good food in it. We will keep trying the recipes until there are none left.
A great book for learning how to manage high blood pressure through diet, activity, and stress management. Includes recipes!
