What Customers Say About Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat: Secrets of My Mother's Tokyo Kitchen:

Boring uniformative book- I skimmed it in less than 20 minutes.There are many much more informative books out there with better recipes. We all know eat fich, lots of veggies, seaweed is good and eat in moderation. I could get these recipes form a recipe website a lot cheaper. More of a biography of the writer and her family. A few recipes.

Although genetics, self-thoughts, diet (consumption), and metabolic rate (exercise + caloric expenditure) play significant roles in appearance, this book includes relatively few secrets worth reading about, which include foods or ingredients consumed by the Japanese culture.

I definitely feel good when I eat this food. The writing is repetitive but just skim through it if you think you've seen it before. I love this book just for the recipes. Everything I have made has been quick, easy and really good.

Mostly the author reminisces about her childhood diet. I couldn't even finish it. I thought this book would share secrets to health & longevity by the practices of Japanese women. It is basically a cook book and not a good one at that.

(None of my comments are in any way to be taken as medical advice. If you're looking for a way to re-learn how to eat properly and healty then this is definately the book for you. I tried doing the French book and it didn't go over well at all. I'd gotten to the part where you're supposed to fast for a weekend drinking nothing but some leek broth and my body said no way.

A diet can also be a way to increase energy or prevent you from getting sick.That being said I can now put my soapbox away on dieting and wrap this up. I bought this book as a way to re-teach myself how to eat properly. I'm not a doctor. For one thing there was no fasting involved. Using a little common sense and ingenuity however I applied these principles to Western food (I am a fully blown European decended American) along with what my own mother taught me (stay away from processed foods as much as possible, eat your veggies, etc). If anything its been several months since I've had a "low" and I couldn't be more pleased.

At first I thought it was going to be exactly like the other, but this one turned out to be better. A go back to basics if you will. Diet doesn't always mean loosing weight. It's not. Another thing is that people think that this is a loose weight diet book. and found that I was able to find a healthy weight, lots more energy, and I was able to control my hypoglycemia much better. If you're looking for a fad diet where you'll loose 50 lbs in two weeks then forget it. I've just found something that works for me).

On the same day I bought French Women Don't Get Fat as well. At first this kind of puzzled me since most diets require you to fast at the beginning. This book is a nice read and encouraging in that it doesn't browbeat you about being fat and make you feel guilty. I'm not a fat person at all, I'm a dancer and I also suffer from hypoglycemia. It's a way to encourage you to eat healthier and if you happen to loose a couple of pounds along the way then great. Unfortunately I haven't been able to try any of the recipies as I now live on a tight budget and in a small town where mexican food is considered foreign so I have to drive quite a way to find the ingredients I need. I gave up on that book and picked up this one instead. Then it dawned on me that eating more veggies would do the job for you, just a little slower and gentler.
