The Denver Diet follows many of the recommendations of Dr. Dean Ornish (founder of a Medicare-covered cardiac rehabilitation program available in many cities), Dr. Michael Greger (How Not to Die, NutritionFacts.org) and Dr. Joel Fuhrman (Eat to Live, The End of Heart Disease). These books are available from bookstores and from many libraries in hardcover and audiobook versions.
Besides aiming to be a healthy diet, the main goal of the Denver Diet is to be an easy and convenient diet. By using a microwave oven and frozen vegetables, the diet is easy to prepare and clean up. Each meal bowl takes only minutes to prepare and heat.
The Denver Diet follows a consistent daily meal plan. This makes the diet easy to follow until the program becomes automatic and habitual. I’ve followed this diet fairly consistently for over seven years (since May of 2010). The diet has been modified in various ways over the years and is not followed closely at parties or when eating at restaurants.
Though I’ve found this diet to be healthy and convenient, I don’t recommend that anyone should follow it without consulting with their health care provider first. For one thing this diet does not offer the variety of foods that some dietitians recommend. Also the diet is higher in fiber and lower in salt than some recommend.
Because of your unique medical condition, the Denver Diet may not be appropriate for you. The author disclaims responsibility for adverse health outcomes and recommends regular medical checkups to monitor your health. Consult your doctor before making dietary or exercise changes.
If you have a medical condition or are taking any medicines, it is especially important to work closely with your doctor. For example, if you are taking medication for high blood pressure or for diabetes, the Denver Diet may greatly reduce the amount of medication you need. Failure to adjust your medication can be very dangerous resulting in low blood pressure or low blood glucose. Be sure to consult regularly and frequently with your doctor and monitor your numbers at home to make sure the amount and type of medication you are taking is correct.
As another example if you are taking Coumadin (the blood thinner warfarin), foods on the diet that are high in vitamin K (e.g., blueberries, carrots, cauliflower, green beans, cabbage and peas) may reduce the effectiveness of the blood thinner. Consult your doctor about how dietary changes will affect any medications you are taking.
