Dr. Mirkin says: wherever you are today, you'll be way ahead at the end of your eight-week Plan. Each week you will get an action program that you can customize to your own situation, needs and goals.

He says:I'm not alone in suggesting that you can make dramatic progress in such a short time:

A report from the Journal of the American Medical Association says that in just four weeks, a fiber-rich, mostly vegetarian diet can lower blood levels of LDL cholesterol as much as a popular statin drug. The study also showed that the diet lowers C-Reactive Protein levels, a sign of inflammation which is a predictor of heart attacks.

A study from New Zealand shows that it takes only two weeks for a diet to lower cholesterol as much as it is going to. Many people think that it takes months for a
cholesterol-lowering diet to work, but this study confirms what many other studies
have shown: Changes in your diet are reflected in your cholesterol numbers within
a few days.

A study from UCLA shows that three weeks of a diet and exercise program can markedly reduce risk factors for heart attacks. In this study eleven men started a diet and exercised daily for 45 to 60 minutes. Just three weeks later, their systolic and diastolic blodd pressures, their total blood cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, and
their fasting insulin levels dropped significantly, and they had lost weight.

These and many other studies show that you can improve your heart-health status very
quickly with lifestyle changes alone. The improvement continues as you gradually lose excess weight, build endurance, and strengthen your skeletal muscles (and by doing so strengthen your heart muscle). My DASH Plus program is easy to start and simple to follow for the rest of your life. Almost immediately, you will:

*Reduce your chances of suffering from a heart attack,
diabetes, stroke,and other diseases

*Lower your blood pressure

*Lower your total LDL (bad) cholesterol level

*Increase your HDL (good) cholesterol level

*Lose excess weight

*Enjoy increased energy, sleep better, and feel great

I'm serving up Dr. Mirkin excellent information in serial form because I know it's
easier to digest that way - I often put off reading a whole book! I hope you enjoy
it! I'm following this eight week plan myself...in fact I'm going out for a walk now, It's a beautiful evening here in Seattle WA.

If you need some answers, be sure to ask your questions...I'll be back to answer them
to-morrow. The link below takes you to Dr. Mirkin's website, with information on any health subject you might be interested in.

Using DASH Plus for Long-Term Weight Loss and Weight Control

Dr. Mirkin says that although the DASH Diet was not designed specifically for weight
loss,(see "Anyone with blood pressure over 120/80 should be on the DASH Diet. Your doctor will help you decide whether you should also use medication.") most people take in much less calories when they change their old eating habits to this new way of eating.

The changes Dr. Mirkin made to the original DASH guidelines to create the DASH Plus
plan: whole grains instead of refined grain products, fewer saturated fats, plus
your exercise program will help you lose weight - an eating plan designed to make
you take in fewer calories than you burn will cause you to lose weight.

Here are some facts in Dr. Mirkin's own words:

No matter what authors of popular diets may tell you, the basic
equation for weight loss is CALORIES IN < CALORIES BURNED.
You can reduce your intake of calories,
increase the number you burn with more exercise,
or both.

The DASH Plus guidelines emphasize the importance of exercise because it's
virtually impossible to take off weight and keep it off for life just by
restricting food.

You need to eat a certain amount of varied foods to provide the nutrients
your body needs. If you eat less that that you develop deficiencies. your
body goes in starvation mode, working to conserve calories by slowing down
your metabolism. That's why drastic low-caloric diets are not healthful
and don't work.

With DASH Plus you never feel hungry and you get all the nutrients you need.
The more active you are, the more food you can eat and still lose weight.

Lose Body Fat Without Wrecking Your Metabolism

What Makes This Fat Burning Breakthrough So Exciting is That it Gives You The Power To Lose Fat Permanently...

It's a fact - 95% of the people who go on conventional diets gain all the weight back and sometimes they end up fatter than when they started.

But so far I have been able to keep it off -
it's great! This is the first timeI've been successful!Tom Venuto says that the trick is to lose body fat without wrecking your metabolism.

He says that if you start a diet, then smash into the dreaded "plateau," it's probably because you cannibalized your own muscle and slowed down your metabolism. His system teaches you the
only way to prevent your metabolism from crashing, and you will also learn more than a dozen
ways to fire up your "metabolic engine" and accelerate your body's natural rate of calorie-
burning.


What mattered a lot to me is avoiding taking any drugs - I'm really scared of putting a bunch of drugs in my body.

Well, I'm not talking about aspirin or Ibuprofen occasionally - everybody pretty well knows how
those work. I also have a mild case of asthma and I have to use an inhaler on a regular basis in
order to get some medication tomy lungs, but that's different - I do it because I know it's
necessary - the way I know is how I feel if I forget!

Tom Venuto says "when you mention bodybuilders, some people think of steroids or fat burning drugs. It's sad but true - most pro-bodybuilders take them. But the joke's on them.
Drugs work, but the results are temporary and the side effects are nasty. The tiny handful of
natural bodybuilders who have learned how to use training and nutrition science to alter body
composition without drugs are the only people in the world who keep their fat loss and muscle
gains permanently."

Now you can learn these fat burning secrets from a natural bodybuilding champion who knows
from real-world experience exactly how it's done.

Tom's words: " I've been bodybuilding for 23 years and competing for 17 years. I've been
involved in the fitness industry as a personal trainer, health club manager, nutritionist,
motivation coach and freelance writer for nearly 18 years. Bodybuilding and fitness is my life - it's all I've ever done."


Tom Venuto also says: "97% of all supplements are a total waste of money! You are being
lied to and ripped off by crooked companies that don't give a rat's ass about your health and
well-being. If you want to learn the ugly truth about the $13 billion per year supplement
industry, and the $40 billion per year weight loss industry, then read every word of my report because it could save you thousands of your hard-earned dollars!"
