I’m allergic to fish, seafood, and shellfish. Does that mean I can’t follow the DASH diet?
Absolutely not, especially since there are thousands of recipes out there with other forms of protein like poultry and meat for you to enjoy. Don’t fret over the fish recipes — you can substitute chicken or meat for the fish in most cases. In fact, certain DASH diet books explain how to properly substitute chicken or meat in a recipe by changing ingredient amounts or making other small adjustments.
