Book Description
According to the latest research, a diet rich in high-fiber plants can reduce cholesterol levels by nearly 30 percent -- as much as a statin drug -- in as little as 4 weeks. That's just part of the program in The Healthy Heart Miracle by Gabe Mirkin, M.D., author of the bestselling The Sportsmedicine Book, and nutrition expert Diana Mirkin.
For those seeking to dramatically reduce their risk of heart attack, stroke, and diabetes, this simple 8-week program will work with or without cholesterol-lowering or blood pressure-lowering drugs. For people with heart disease, this program provides a roadmap for the lifestyle changes recommended by every cardiologist.
The Healthy Heart Miracle was designed for busy lives. First, Dr. Mirkin explains the medical tests you need to understand your heart health status. Then you'll get a jump-start on positive results with the SHOW ME! Diet, a 2-week miniprogram offering dramatic improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. Later weeks ease you into Dr. Mirkin's DASH Plus program. Menu plans, worksheets, and 50 delicious recipes make it easy to start and stay on this program -- with no calorie counting, fat or carbohydrate gram counting, or portion measurements!
Dr. Mirkin's exercise plan is flexible for varied fitness levels. It promotes the newly accepted model of intensity followed by "easy days" for building muscle and reducing heart-harming belly fat.
"The miracle of my DASH Plus program is your body's great capacity to repair damage and revitalize itself," writes Dr. Mirkin. "If you're on the road to a heart attack, my 8-Week Plan will help you make a U-turn."

Building bridges towards a healthier life....,
By Cheryl (British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Healthy Heart Miracle: Your Roadmap To Lifelong Health (Hardcover)
It's TRUE!!! My husband and I are proof that this works!!!Not only has the diet & exercise program prescribed by the Mirkin's allowed me to lose the unhealthy, excess weight (27 pounds !) I'd been carrying since the birth of our child, it has motivated me to become healthier, more active & consequently more fit. The lifestyle I've developed in pursuit of these activities has boosted my self-esteem and mental well being. I'm 53 and now have the energy to match my Fit 35 years old friends!! My 57 year old husband's (3 yr.) high cholesterol readings are back down within a normal range after having adhered to this diet plan for the past 6 months The food groups we now eat are easy on the budget, fresh and attractive to prepare..and delicious to enjoy. Thank -You Dr. Gabe & Diane for the positive impact you have had on this family! Sincerely, Cheryl & Peter Lamont Sooke, British Columbia Canada

This is a book worth getting. The advice is sound and the recipes are outstanding. A perfect complement to Esselsytn's heart disease book - with these two books and you will have the upper hand on heart disease.

Myself and 4 friends didn't get any results from this book.I saw a review for another website and ended up using it to lose 23 pounds in 3 months - and i'm still losing. My friends have also found success with it after trying so many different fad diets. The website is www.lowfatmealplans.com Check it out, its great!
