    Hello All - Just started Phase 1 today. I'm 35 years old with high blood pressure issues. My goal is to be healthy again and if the weight comes off well even better. I always try to stay away from sodium, because i don't like the taste of salt. :P Please share some of your experiences and help me thru this. I've been working out for about 2 months now (cardio boxing & cross-fit). Well wish me luck! Always open to new recipes.

    Thank you!

    Good luck with your DASH Diet success. All I can say is no fast food. Not even "healthy" places like Subway and Chic-a-fil. Tons of salt in those foods. For bread, try Ezekiel sprouted grain Low Sodium bread and no salt added soup made by Health Valley Organic.

    Wat back when, I was on the South Besch diet and I believe its phase I is similar to the DD phase I in that you limit carbs. It left me feeling weak and real low energy. So much so that I couldn’t climb a hill I was used to foing regularly. I did lose 9 lbs in the first 2 weeks and managed to keep them off. Even tho I gained wt this past year I am still not as high as my highestwt.

    Portion sizes are so important as well. That's what I've been having trouble with.
