Okinawa Diet Plan

New in paperback! In The Okinawa Program, Drs. Bradley and Craig Willcox identified the healthiest and longest-lived people in the world. Now, in The Okinawa 8-Week Diet Plan, the authors adapt the dietary principles of the Okinawans so that anyone can stop gaining weight with age. The key is the simple but powerful concept of caloric density. Simply put, by ensuring that the bulk of your diet consists of foods with a low ration of calories per gram, you can enjoy delicious, fully satisfying meals--without portion restrictions--and still lose weight. To get you started, the book offers 200 irresistible recipes--created by Okinawan and American chefs--and reviewed by a Harvard nutritionist--that have been organized into three tracks: Western, for those who want familiar foods and tastes, and East-West track, and Eastern, for the more adventurous. From Walnut-Dressed Chicken and Balsamic Pork with Mushrooms to Chocolate Chip Cookies, the recipes are hearty, flavorful, and satisfying--and fully in tune with the Okinawan way of eating for health, longevity, and the maintenance of ideal weight at any age.
