 Eating Healthily for Ever January 29, 2006
45 out of 48 found this review helpful
I used to live in Japan for four years and I so I already knew how healthy and energy-giving the diet is. I saw for myself that people who eat this way really do not ever get fat. But when I returned to the West, I didn't have the courage or resolution to cook this kind of food in my own home. I thought it would be too difficult, too complicated. Naomi Moriyama's book has given me back the confidence to revert to this healthy way of eating. This is a real inspiration. I have given this book to many girlfriends and recommended it to many other people.
Incidentally, where 'French women don't get fat' is just a humorous guide to not eating cakes and white bread, this book is a serious work, with a practical guide to being healthy, forever.

Naomi Moriyama's book on Japanese diet is an inspiration. I once lived in Japan for four years and so I already knew how balanced, healthy and energy-giving the Japanese diet is. But now I'm back in the West, I didn't have the courage (and expertise) to continue eating healthily. This book has given me back the confidence to incorporate more Japanese food into my diet (and shown me that it is NOT difficult - wherever you live). I have given this book to most of my girlfriends as gifts and have recommended it to many, many people.
The book is much more helpful, incidentally, than 'French women don't get fat' which was just a humorous guide not to eat cakes and white bread. Thank you Ms Moriyama, for providing a SENSIBLE and tasty alternative.
A delicious diet that really works! January 29, 2006

At last, an intelligent book full of slimming and anti-ageing secrets that lives up to its promise. In "Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat" Naomi Moriyama reveals the secrets of a diet and way of life which makes Japanese women live longer and look half their age. Based around a simple philosophy of fresh and natural foods, the book is packed full of delicious recipes - a must for anyone who is a fan of wonderful Japanese cuisine. The food is simple to make, suprisingly easy to get hold of at your local supermarket, and delicious to eat. And unlike other diet fads, it doesn't leave you feeling restricted or hungry. In addition to the recipes, the book is full of beautifully written anecdotes which give a wonderful insight into the Japanese way of life. At times you really do feel transported there. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who likes Japanese food and wants to lose weight, get healthy and indulge in escapism on the way.

This is an interesting and insightful book to learn more about the Japanese culture and way of life especially in terms of their eating habits. There are certainly more to Japanese cuisine than just the typical teriyaki chicken, sushi and tempura. Bear in mind that, this book is not a diet book. The book is more about staying healthy rather than losing weight. In that respect it reminds me of "Can We Live 150" where the author's main and only focus is health, but losing weight is a natural outcome of it.
Amazing! February 22, 2008

I read this book in two days. It gives easy advice to follow on how to live a healthy lifestyle easily. The recipes are interesting and look nice, and the stories about her childhood are a nice touch to the book. While it is impossible to adopt an entirely Japanese Diet living with a family I have encorporated more Japanese food into my diet. After eating a meal I am never hungry.
