Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The DASH Diet for Weight Loss
Thomas J. Moore · 2012
76/100
👍 Worth It
Moore and his co-authors deliver one of the more credible entries in the popular diet book genre — two decades of peer-reviewed research from Johns Hopkins and Harvard backing a plan that addresses weight and cardiovascular health at once is a meaningful differentiator. The sodium tracking and calorie-counting components feel a bit dated, but the science is solid and the practical tools are genuinely useful. A trustworthy pick for adults ready to do the work.
