Renee is a 21-year-old African American woman in her 35th week of pregnancy. She is married and the mother of two young children. Her pre-pregnancy BMI was 18.1. She gained 24 pounds since becoming pregnant, but at her most recent prenatal visit, she was found to have lost a pound over the past week. She says that her weight loss is due to "stress." Renee says she enjoys eating canned spinach cooked in tomato sauce with chopped onions and craves "Napoleon" flavored ice cream. Her 24-hour recall is as follows: Breakfast: 6 oz kiwi strawberry drink Lunch: 16 oz lemonade, baked chicken breast, cups of canned spinach cooked in tomato sauce, and onion slices of carrot cake with cream cheese frosting Snack: whole milk, peanut butter and jelly sandwich Dinner: 16 oz decaffeinated tea, 7 oz beef and rice dinner, scoops of Neapolitan-style ice cream Snack: 2402 water, buttermilk biscuit

Follow the DASH diet for one day this week and then report on your experience answering the questions below. Some folks shop ahead for the week so be sure to read the section on the DASH diet so you can plan accordingly - pgs 374-6. Hypertension and the role of sodium are discussed, as are the roles of potassium, magnesium, and calcium for both prevention and treatment of hypertension. DASH diet plan... It requires participants to consume 8-10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day along with three servings of dairy (or a calcium source) and whole grains, etc. to get in plenty of magnesium, potassium, and calcium. This could offer many benefits as well as high blood pressure reduction, but it might prove to be difficult to follow this plan and stick to it. Instructions: a. Compare what you eat in one day to the DASH diet. Answer the following questions: How does your current dietary intake compare with the DASH diet? Be specific. (comment on all food groups: grains, vegetables, fruits etc.) With effort and intention, what changes could you make to meet the guidelines? List at least 3 dietary changes you could make. b. Follow the DASH diet plan for one day and compare what you ate to the plan. c. Answer the following questions: What did you eat? How did you do with your changes and meeting the DASH plan? What would you want others to know about following this meal plan based on what you learned?
