From the Author:

There is only one simple way to lose weight--eat less. We all know this already, so why do we find it difficult to put into practice or to maintain it for a long time? It is because many diet methods involve radical changes to what you can eat and often refer to pre-calculated calories and tables of indices. The Chopsticks Diet is straightforward: there are no calorie counts and no tables, but it's full of easy, delicious, and healthy Japanese-inspired recipes to eat with chopsticks.

The essence of The Chopsticks Diet lies in the Japanese way of food--what they eat and how they eat--exemplified in chopsticks. And since Japanese food is to be eaten with chopsticks nearly all recipes in this book are designed for eating in this way. Many research findings suggest that eating with chopsticks slows people down and therefore they eat less. Try eating the same amount of food with chopsticks as you would with a knife and fork and you will quickly realize that it is almost impossible. If you eat fast, as most of us do nowadays, your brain cannot accurately monitor the amount of food your stomach is receiving. So it is difficult to know when to stop, and therefore we end up eating more than we need. Slow eating is good for you, especially if you want to lose weight.

The Chopsticks Diet is a book about the Japanese way of food and about discovering the joy and pleasure of delicious and easy Japanese-inspired home cooking and eating. I am certain that it will help you to feel and look fantastic.
