Dash Diet Eating Plan for reducing blood pressure - Dash Diet Eating Plan

I don't diet much but when my doctor told me my BP was up at the age of 47 I decided to do something about it and am now trying the DASH diet plan and eating plan.

Here's what the basics are:
Type of food Number of servings for 1600 - 3100 Calorie diets Servings on a 2000 Calorie diet

Grains and grain products

(include at least 3 whole grain foods each day) 6 - 12 7 - 8

Fruits 4 - 6 4 - 5

Vegetables 4 - 6 4 - 5

Low fat or non fat dairy foods 2 - 4 2 - 3

Lean meats, fish, poultry 1.5 - 2.5 2 or less

Nuts, seeds, and legumes 3 - 6 per week 4 - 5 per week

Fats and sweets 2 - 4 limited

Anyone else doing this? I'm doing OK so far!
