The DASH diet can be very doable for the entire family. Even though, as Teresa says above, it doesn't resemble the way many people are currently eating. "The DASH Diet Action Plan" was written to make the DASH diet accessible for the average American. It shows you how to fit the plan into your daily life with lots of meal plans, recipes, tips, and planning strategies. People say that it makes the DASH diet a real life plan. "I can do that!"

Excellent article- as all of the "diets" mentioned are safe and wonderful for families even children. I guess I am just bothered by the word "diet" itself which in my mind denotes restriction and imbalanced eating. Having counseled nutrition to kids, teens and families for the last decade I have always substituted "diet" with words such as healthy eating or your meal plan. At any rate-Congratulations on selecting my top 5 healthy eating plans which I recommend to my patients.
