DASH diet

has anyone heard of this. After going home for thanksgiving my mother was so impressed with my eating habits and how I lost 15 lbs in 2 months that she founf her own online diet. but I wonder if it will really help or just be off putting for her. she is still eating white rice and potatoes. but I am not going to say anything and seem bossy. atleast she is doing something and it does tell her to eat breakfast and go for long walks everyday..

Are you saying people can't lose weight and eat white rice and potato?

Dif diets work for dif people. Some diets people modify and still get resutls.

I'd say keep your mouth shut, until she asks for your advice. So long as she's happy and doing something, let her be.

What's this crap about white rice and potatoes? Just because your diet excludes such things, does that give you the right to sit in judgment on diets that include them?

Dieting is not an exact science. She's made two very important steps in the right direction...back off unless she invites your input.

11:56, re: that white rice & potatoes: that's why we have all those people here on PT who are losing their first/last 100 pounds FOREVER.

OP Here. Obviously I havent said anything to her about it and I have said how proud I am of her and giving her support.
My question was to other people who diet- Is this a good diet? Does anyone know anything about it?
My mother and I are very close and I am very supportive of her- not rude and bossy and other make it sound. I am not sitting in judgement. I just want to be as supportive as possible.
I was hoping to find others that have done the diet and gotten results so that I could pass on that good news.
