This has lots of good information and what the doctor says to do WORKS.The person I got this book for has been doing the suggestions and their high blood pressure issues are gone! Yes they will have to limit the fast food to special occasions only and keep on the supplements but that is way better than taking medications that have horrible side effects.......

I gave Dr. Brill’s program the full four weeks, starting on Feb 3rd and ending on Mar 3rd. Cutting to the chase, my blood pressure on day 1 was 154/84, and on Mar 3rd it’s 120/65. It’s been consistently in the 120s over 60s or 70s for the past ten days.I never had high blood pressure before, but genealogy can be unforgiving, and, admittedly, I was carrying some “holiday weight.” About a month ago, I had an unrelated doctor visit, and, as usual, the nurse checked my blood pressure before the doc came in. 152/80 (“What?! No way! Are you sure you measured it correctly?”) I didn’t want to go on blood pressure meds, but I was concerned about living with hypertension. After a long conversation with my doctor, we agreed I would try to lower my BP by dropping some weight - not an easy task, because I was in fairly decent shape to start with. Anyway, that’s what led me to Dr. Brill’s book.I adjusted my lifestyle to follow the first five steps, and I did so with vigorous intent. On the second five steps, I’ve bypassed Step 6 (My wife won’t tolerate soybeans) and Step 8 (I only drink 2 or 3 glasses of wine a year, and that’s it for my alcohol consumption). But I keep to Steps 7, 9, and 10 with the same focus as the first five steps. I’ve eliminated desserts from my diet, and I’ve cut sodium to as low as I can get it. At the same time, I’ve increased my potassium and magnesium at every opportunity, and I’ve kept up my calcium consumption (no problem for Wisconsinites). Finally, consistent with Dr. Brill’s plan, I track my daily numbers.Adhering to Step 1, my weight has dropped from 199 to 184. At 6’0” and at age 72, my BMI is just under 25, so I’ve still got a bit to go to reach my goal of 175 by June 1st. Now, that the first four weeks are behind me, I’ll be using Dr. Brill’s Ten Step Plan (okay, 8 out of 10) as my newly adopted lifestyle

I wanted to love this but there's no photos and every recipe includes salt.

Very small book. Nothing much in it I didn’t already know. I returned it.

This cookbook is authored by a registered dietitian. It is a paperback, but the book is on good textbook quality paper with color photographs. There is a health focused introduction using "plate" proportion theory, and the benefits of eating wholesome food, and eating as a lifestyle rather than "dieting." The recipes are each on one page or facing pages using a variety of many familiar ingredients. The menu sample includes more than one dish each meal, and several protein options are used throughout the book such as eggs, legumes, fish, poultry, and lamb. nutrients per serving also listed.

I found this book too labor intensive/time consuming. It also seemed to include many (aka expensive) ingredients. I'm going to try and stick with the 5 ingredients or less Mediterranean cookbooks. Still eat healthier without budget busting and getting frustrated with time consuming recipes . Since I'm a newbie to this style of cooking, I don't want to be discouraged at the beginning.

This is the most recipes I’ve ever book marked in a cookbook. Very good variety of healthy options.

I had a drive by shooting of my house which made my bp spike up to 220. I had to be put on bp medication which was giving me side effects and still having my bp stay in the 190s. That's when I turned to this book. I am so thankful for the advice from it. I checked my bp last night and it was 129 over 89 which it has never been that low before for me. I have been taking olive leaf extract, flaxseed, cocao powder, and I've also been doing deep breathing, and tai chi. Thank you so much for helping me achieve impressive results. I'm now on my way to getting off my bp medication.

Eating healthier and feeling healthier with very tasteful satisfying food. Learning to get away from old standard eating and grocery shopping habits. When you feel benefits it gives you incentive to make a change for life!

Every single recipe appeals to me. At first I was disappointed that there is no "28 menu plan", but now I'm glad. Every book with a 28 day plan lists things that I might not feel like having that day. in this book, you look over the recipes and choose what you want. And believe me, the recipes are winners. A well written, helpful book.i

I learned so much about BP and Controlling High BP. I have watched many of Dr. Frita Fisher videos on YouTube. I recommend this book. It is very informative with plenty of sources in the back of the book for further research. Thank you, Dr. Frita Fisher for your expertise!
