Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat by Naomi Moriyama, William Doyle (2005, Hardcover)

Although this information is available elsewhere, I found the book enjoyable and the recipes are pretty simple.

Instead of "diet", LIFESTYLE CHANGE seems to be the buzzword. This isn't a bad thing, though. Learning from different cultures is healthy, both mentally and physically. Intergrating habits of healthy people into your own daily life can be smart and simple. This keeps average people from becoming overwhelmed with a complete overhaul all at once. Japan has been civilized for thousands of years. American has been civilized for 200 years. We are an infant compared to the years of learning about the body, food, gardening, eating and health in Japan. Anyone would agree that Japanese women are beautiful, both inside and out. I'm honored that these ladies are willing to share their secrets so American women will not get old or fat, either! This book comes highly recommended. Thanks!

I bought it to get healthy even if it doesn't help me loose weight. I didn't want to pay much, just in case it turned out to be a crock, but so far it has some down right good information in it. I haven't lost weight yet but have gotten more regular if you know what I mean. That alone is healthier
