Fat is the enemy. Fat makes you fat. The creators of the Choose To Lose Diet say it’s not sugar and starch that causes obesity – it’s the fat in foods that packs on the pounds. You can also forget what you’ve heard about the dangers of overeating – it’s not how much you eat, it’s what you eat that’s causing your weight issues. The world is your buffet when you’re loading your plate with low-fat meats, nonfat dairy and nutrient-dense, fiber-rich carbohydrates such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

It’s a diet for all diseases, one that is sure to get your doctor’s seal of approval. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) is the ultimate weapon in fighting hypertension and lowering blood pressure in just 14 days, according to studies sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. The DASH diet is not only endorsed but recommended by the NIH, as well as physicians.
