The secret to effective and lasting weight loss

The Japan Diet

An innovative diet plan from the authors of the Sunday Times bestseller Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat

The book's message is simple. I started off a cynic, but found it easy and enjoyed exploring my local Asian supermarket for new ingredients

An interesting variation on the 'healthy eating to lose weight theme...the principles in the book match precisely with the principles of UK Dept of Health recommendations for sensible healthy eating.

I'd highly recommend this diet. The lifestyle changes are all sensible stuff and you are really likely to take them on board.

Excellent! A Diet that's anti ageing, slimming and fills you up - where do we sign up?
