The Okinawa Diet Plan : Get Leaner, Live Longer, and Never Feel Hungry

Rating:
Summary: A huge relief to find this book!
Review: The other reviewers here said many things I would so I will keep this short.

I've done low carb (Protein Power) for 2.5 years. I lost 30 pounds in the first 6 months, no longer needed any asthma or high blood pressure medications, which I had to take daily before. I gained back 15 pounds and was really unhappy with my eating. My blood pressure went up, my asthma returned (slowly). I had migraine headaches. I truly prayed for some direction - what was I doing wrong? I read plan after plan, Zone, Atkins, South Beach, vegetarian, juicing, but none of it fit.

The Okinawa Diet Plan found me when I was in the public library. I have since ordered my own copy. It was the answer to prayer - simply that. I have been following the Eastern path (there are plans for purely eastern diet or eastern/western mix, or western so even if you want to continue eating only American food this will help you). I love Okinawan food anyway, so this is a perfect fit for me.

I found the explanations in the book to be very clear and easy to understand, the voice with which the authors speak is relaxed and friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this book to anyone who is tired of being fat, sick, low in energy.

The examples of the Okinawa centurians is the final proof - we don't have to guess IF this way of eating works!
