The Japan Diet

From the best-selling author of Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat comes a new weight loss book, The Japan Diet.

THE JAPAN DIET IN A CAPSULE:-
1. Eat more fish, especially oily fish like salmon, sardines, mackerel
and herring.
2. Eat lots more fruit and vegetables, in a rich variety of many types
and colours.
3. Japan-style your portions: enjoy moderate helpings and smaller
plates.
4. Eat mindfully – relax and eat at a leisurely pace, aim for variety,
moderation and balance.
5. Choose foods with less saturated fat, salt, added sugars, and little
or no trans fat.
6. Be gentle to your food: cook with heart-healthy oils, such as
rapeseed, and healthy techniques, such as steaming.
7. Eat more wholegrain foods like brown rice, wholegrain breads and
cereals.
8. Lighten up your beverages: drink fewer sweetened fizzy drinks and go
for unsweetened tea, water and low-fat milk.
9. Think of generous amounts of veggies more often as the star of your
meal.
10. Don’t skip meals, including breakfast.
11. Get physically active and stay active regularly: moderate exercise,
like walking, counts.
12. Think of food as a source of joy, indulgence, good health, positive
energy, laughter and celebration. Don’t go on a diet. Instead, phase healthy
eating habits into your daily diet over the long term.
