so on MSN is a link to a little video about a japenese woman who came to america for school, gained 25 pounds and then lost it when she went back home.
now she’s written a book with her companion about how to live and cook japenese style…and you will loose weight.
why is this a story? the japenese don’t stuff themselves, they eat TONS of vegetables, practically no dairy, no processed foods, and little saturated fat. plus, they walk around, etc.
why is this a book? there is hardly anything revealing about it. dang, maybe i should write a book about being fat or not fat. LOL.
just thought it was funny. it will probably sell a million copies.
Uhmmm… then why do we have ‘Buddha?’ Arrrgh! That can’t be!!!
My French darling, Mireille Giuliano, penned “French Women Don’t Get Fat” probably a year or two ago. She was on the NYT bestseller list (might still be?).
I’ve heard that Japanese and other Asian tourists bring their cameras to take photos of fat North Americans because otherwise people back home wouldn’t believe how fat many of us are.
I guess ,I will stop my lose weight on “one candy bar and soda” a meal book . This diet works well for a few months, as it ruins your appetite so much you lose weight. Look out south beach diet.
Did you ever notice that so many of the miracle diets out there have a disclaimer attached to them that says something like “works best when combined with a regieme of healthy exercise”
I seem to be able to put on weight simply by smelling food so I have to try and control my cravings as much as possible in order to maintain a healthy weight. I’m petrified as heart disease, high cholesterol and diabetes runs in my family on both sides.
My wife is an excellent cook (she’s american with asian ancestry) and while we share most of the cooking duties she has taught me a lot about vegetable and rice dishes which has helped maintain a healthy lifestyle… now if I could just get used to those pre-dawn workouts I’d be a happy man… lol
and, i must tell you, i’m pretty snappy with chopsticks. when my hair was longer, i could use them to pin my hair up. also, they make an excellent stabbing weapon, or double as knitting needles in the case of a sweater coming unraveled. the possibilities are endless! it is quite possible to take over a small country with nothing but chopsticks and a telephone.
