Dash Diet

Hey, guys! I am starting my NYE resolution before 2017. My goal is to be VERY HEALTHY. To accomplish this goal I have decided to start the DASH Diet at the recommendation of a medical professional.  The DASH Diet "was developed to lower blood pressure without medication in research sponsored by the US National Institutes of Health. The first DASH diet research showed that it could lower blood pressure as well as the first line blood pressure medications, even with a sodium intake of 3300 mg/day!  Since then, numerous studies have shown that the DASH diet reduces the risk of many diseases, including some kinds of cancer, stroke, heart disease, heart failure, kidney stones, and diabetes. It has been proven to be an effective way to lose weight and become healthier at the same time. It is full of fabulous, delicious, real foods. All of these benefits led to the #1 diet ranking by US News & World Report in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014." I will let you guys know how I am doing at the end of this month and at the end of January. BTW I am the type of person who does not like to share my weight so I will just be letting you know how many pounds I have lost as well as what my goals are. My goal is to lose 20 pounds so I would like to lose 10 pounds per month. In addition, I am only eating boneless skinless chicken breast, vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. I am not allowed to have added salt or sugar and I will be drinking only water, tea, and healthy water based drinks.
