No gimmicks, this works!

The concept of eating foods lower in energy density is something that I found out through Barbara Rolls excellent book, The Volumetrics Eating Plan. This is another great book that I would recommend in addition to the Okinawa Diet Plan, because it is full of great recipes for Western style tastes. It also includes energy density and a complete nutritional breakdown for each recipe. If you are following a plan like Weight Watchers, both books will fill you with ideas to make meal times more filling and more interesting.

Not all Soy is Created Equally

I'm no expert. But, I am Chinese. My family and I thrive on Asian-made soy products such as tofu. We are allergic to western-made soy products. If someone can provide a plausible reason for this, I would be most interested. (Except where those Asian-made soy products are imported from Communist China. I would recommend soy products from Taiwan. I am most concerned about unscrupulous manufacturing processes from Communist China.)

I cannot speak for soy products made here in the U.S. So, beware of all recommendations for or warnings against soy products. I believe not all soy is created equally.

A Research-Based Plan for Achieving Healthy Weight Loss

We are currently working on programs to help people achieve better health. Unlike most eating plans, the OK diet guidelines on based the latest research on the relationship between the types of foods eaten and the long term effects on health. Our test subjects have maintained lower LDL cholesterol and trigyclerides, healthy waist circumferences, and lower body fats for more than 1 year, by using our healthy eating and exercise programs, which are based on the guidelines recommended by the authors. I highly recommend both this book and their previous one, The Okinawa Program.
