The DASH diet is QUITE balanced actually. Google it. It's all over the news and what not lately. Something about it being the BEST and HEALTHIEST or something of that sort.

OP: there have been a few threads about it in the last few days, given the news, but other than that, there was a group here a year or so ago. A few posts about good success with weight loss AND hypertension, but it was never a very active group.
Here's my thought: if a formal diet teaches someone to eat right, I'm all for it. Education is key.
Best of luck!0 -

Is that anything like the dine and dash diet? :-)
I'm not at all familiar with it so I guess it's time for Google and I to get acquainted.
Good luck either way.
To add, I’d say if it ain’t balanced forget about it. The body needs the carbs, fat, and protein. We just have to find the balance that works for us.0 -
It got ranked #1 by US News or something (although if you read the reasoning in those surveys you might come away skeptical, as I did). I think it's weird too, but then I think wanting to follow some specific diet rather than just eating healthy and lowering your calories is weird.
Also, I have no reason to follow a diet for hypertension, although it might well be helpful for those who do.0 -
DASH is basically an update of the food pyramid rebranded under a snappy new name. It's not a fad diet; it's basically about getting your balanced servings in from the various food groups.
It's fine, but it doesn't replace calorie counting.0 -

It's not a basic low fat diet. Not in the sense we've come to know low fat diets these days. ( to include all meat which I luvvvv, lol ) It was created initially for patients with High Blood Pressure. It contains tons of vegetables, some fruits, not too much red meat. Been around a while, not a fad. eating clean is relatively similar to it. It does work. Good Luck0

Seems reasonable enough (although I have my issues with the pyramid), but WHY do people have to follow some named diet? Why not just follow the pyramid or my plate or figure out what you (not you!) think is healthy and balanced. I SO don't understand it. Seems so weird to want to follow some special diet.

It has less refined grains, which is what you want to watch if you are pre-diabetic. It also helps people with high cholesterol, hypertension, etc. They do have a plan for weight loss as well as the regular plan which is to keep your blood sugars and cholesterol in check.0

Actually there is a DASH diet for weight loss as well.0 -

I haven't seen it used for weight loss, but I have heard success stories for lowering blood pressure. I like the diet since it's not some crazy fad diet. It's a legit diet prescribed by doctors.
