Karman Meyer - The Everything DASH Diet Meal Prep Cookbook : 200 Easy, Make-Ahead Recipes to Help You Lose Weight and Improve Your Health

As a registered dietitian, I regularly work with people who have high blood pressure and want to make dietary changes rather than add on more medications. If youve picked up this book, you may feel the same! It can be challenging to change your habits , including dietary habits and food behaviors, but even making small changes can lead to big results. Start with adding one fruit and vegetable into your daily food intake and go from there! Over time, healthy modifications like this can positively impact your body and overall health.

With the DASH diet, theres a wonderful balance with foods from all food groups. The focus of DASH is on what foods we can add into our daily routine, rather than drastically cutting out entire food groups. This makes DASH a great, sustainable way of eating!

This cookbook means so much to me because I know the incredibly positive impacts dietary changes can have on health. As I gathered information and recipes for this book, I remembered encouraging clients to make essential nutrition changes to lead healthier lives. Knowledge is key, and in this book, youll learn evidence-based, reliable nutrition guidance on lowering blood pressure through dietary choices. Since having access to a registered dietitian isnt feasible for everyone, I hope this book will be a helpful guide to trying the DASH diet and figuring out a meal prep routine that works best for you!
