## What is Dash Diet Plan & Food Tracker?

DASH lowers blood pressure — particularly if you have elevated levels — and may aid weight loss. It could reduce your risk of diabetes, heart disease, metabolic syndrome and some cancers.

Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, or DASH, is a diet recommended for people who want to prevent or treat hypertension — also known as high blood pressure — and reduce their risk of heart disease.

The DASH diet focuses on fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean meats.

Benefits:

- Decreases cancer risk: 
A recent review indicated that people following the DASH diet had a lower risk of some cancers, including colorectal and breast cancer.

- Lowers metabolic syndrome risk: 
Some studies note that the DASH diet reduces your risk of metabolic syndrome by up to 81% 

- Lowers diabetes risk: 
The diet has been linked to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. Some studies demonstrate that it can improve insulin resistance as well.

- Decreases heart disease risk: 
In one recent review in women, following a DASH-like diet was associated with a 20% lower risk of heart disease and a 29% lower risk of stroke.

### 1/5 — Can’t access without paid subscription

*2024-03-22*

Sure the download of the app is free but that’s where it stops. You can choose to not have a subscription but you can’t see any of the recipes (when you click on it, it brings up the subscription sign-up) and there are no options to track nutritional values of foods/recipes, food groups, etc. Such a scam to say it’s free but then force the subscription for access. Just make it cost money upfront so people don’t bother with it!

### 1/5 — Free trial

*2023-09-23, version 2.1*

I have looked everywhere on this App and see no means to track meals. And who has time to make all of these fancy meal recipes? I must be missing something.

### 1/5 — Not “in app purchases”.

*2023-09-16, version 2.1*

This is not “in app purchases” but an actual paid app to the tune of $20/month at the lower level.

### 1/5 — Beware not a free trial

*2023-07-29, version 2.1*

I downloaded this app and clicked the free trial button. It is not what I’m looking for, but I was charged $4.99 anyway.

### 1/5 — Not what was advertised

*2023-07-25, version 2.1*

All I see is recipes. No shopping list. I made the mistake of buying a year because of the preview and I want to cancel. How do I do that????

### 5/5 — Great!

*2023-06-29, version 2.1*

It's reliable to use. You can try it

### 2/5 — Pay to try

*2023-06-16, version 2.1*

Can’t even try it without paying—“free trial“ charges immediately.  Links to info, like privacy policy, are broken.  Meal plan is very low calorie and is skipping some meals!  Not at all for DASH blood pressure diet.

### 2/5 — Serving Sizes / Calories Incorrect

*2023-05-06, version 2.1*

Good ideas for meal planning but there is no accurate reporting of calorie count and serving sizes seem to be just plain made up. Cannot connect with help link to ask so I’ll move on after my five day free trial which, by the way, I was charged $4.99 for!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-04-27*

I had no idea my family was alusey doing the Dash diet all of these years. This way of eating has helped me keep 80 pounds off for almost 20 years. This app is a great addition to my cookapp collection. It is a common sense way of eating- taking healthy ingredients and keeping them interesting and familiar enough so that it isn't too scary.

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-04-25*

This app tries to make Dash meal planning and preparing simple. There are six sets of meals for five days that you prepare on the weekend. You get the shopping list which has everything you need including pans and meal savers. And, you get the recipes which look very reasonable with decent serving sizes.
