The DASH Diet Mediterranean Solution: The Best Eating Plan to Control Your Weight and Improve Your Health for Life by Marla Heller. Grand Central Publishing, 2018. 272 pp. ISBN: 9781538715253.

I liked this so much that while I checked it out as an e-book from the library, I've ordered a copy from Better World Books to have for myself. Although it does have some intriguing recipes, it is mainly a discussion of the basics of both eating philosophies (I hate using the word diet, as it's so loaded, but yes, diets), but as a mashup of both, including meal planning suggestions that are not just here's what to eat but what type of food to plug into in a way that I haven't seen done as well in other books.

Despite my weight loss to be honest, I haven't learned to eat as well as I should. These two plans are considered among the healthiest of all diet plans and are good for lifelong health. Also, they're good for pescetarians, actually founded in that type of eating primarily, although people can eat lean meats as well. I'm looking forward to getting my copy, plus, unlike Amazon, BWB donates a book each time you buy one, plus I donated $1 to their literacy programme and another to another book-related charity.

Since I had revised my goal to a more realistic 15 books for this year, I may very well reach that goal. Yay!
