Douglas begins his book by discussing the philosophy of the Dash Diet in simple, easy to read terms. This is more of a recipe book rather than a diet book, but readers will find it has no fluff and is very sharp. I give credit to the author for making an important point that this is a lifestyle more than a diet. This explains how easy and fun the Dash Diet can be. Readers will find it's not difficult to commit to!Something that would benefit this book would be to include drink recipes. The Dash Diet prohibits sugary drinks. I'm sure drinking alternatives would be as tasty, easy, and healthy as the solid food recipes.These recipes are relatively simple and are categorized by mealtimes. If not followed because they are healthy, they will also add variety to your pallet. Good diets like Dash Diet aren't restricting. This diet primarily seeks to reduce fats, sugars, and red meats. There's a lot you can do with a diet like that.While this book encourages you to start conscious eating and enjoying yourself, you'll find it's explanations brief and unsatisfying, unlike your stomach.
