About this audiobook
Japanese-born Naomi Moriyama reveals the secret to her own high-energy, successful lifestyle-and the key to the enduring health and beauty of Japanese women-in this exciting new book. The Japanese have the pleasure of eating one of the most delicious, nutritious, and naturally satisfying cuisines in the world without denial, without guilt…and, yes, without getting fat or looking old.
As a young girl living in Tokyo, Naomi Moriyama grew up in the food utopia of the world, where fresh, simple, wholesome fare is prized as one of the greatest joys of life. She also spent much time basking in that other great center of Japanese food culture: her mother Chizuko's Tokyo kitchen. Now she brings the traditional secrets of her mother's kitchen to you in a book that embodies the perfect marriage of nature and culinary wisdom-Japanese home-style cooking.
If you think you've eaten Japanese food, you haven't tasted anything yet. Japanese home-style cooking isn't just about sushi and raw fish but good, old-fashioned everyday-Japanese-mom's cooking that's stood the test of time-and waistlines-for decades. Reflected in this unique way of cooking are the age-old traditional values of family and the abiding Japanese love of simplicity, nature, and good health. It's the kind of food that millions of Japanese women like Naomi eat every day to stay healthy, slim, and youthful while pursuing an energetic, successful, on-the-go lifestyle. Even better, it's fast, it's easy, and you can start with something as simple as introducing brown rice to your diet. You'll begin feeling the benefits that keep Japanese women among the youngest-looking in the world after your very next meal!
If you're tired of counting calories, counting carbs, and counting on being disappointed with diets that don't work and don't satisfy, it's time to discover one of the best-kept and most delicious secrets for a healthier, slimmer, and long-living lifestyle. It's time to discover the Japanese fountain of youth….

Reviews for Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat
55 ratings5 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5While I'm not exactly fond of the name of this book, it definitely attracts attention because of it. This was a great book. Naomi Moriyama does a great job of speaking to her readers, sharing her own upbringing and experiences with traditional Japanese cooking, giving some very interesting insight into the history and reasons for certain Japanese foods and culinary customs, and provides delicious recipes throughout the book.A smooth and smart read, Moriyama not only provides her personal insight on home-cooked Japanese cuisine, but defends the health merits of it all with statistics from various medical and culinary sources.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Meh.
Total rip off from the ' French women don't get fat ' book, whether that is a true statement or not.
They say imitation is the best flattery, but not when it comes to writing books or creating the title, it just makes you look unoriginal and uninspiring.
Everybody gets old, if you live long enough so the title is ridiculous. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved this book! It had great information about how to stay healthy throughout your lifetime. I like that the techniques for cooking and living are simple and easy for anyone to try. The accessibility for Americans who know little about Japanese cooking or culture was this books greatest virtue. Well Done!!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is an interesting read about using a Japanese diet to lose weight and to keep it off. It advocates smaller portion use, the norm in Japan, to try to keep yourself from eating too much and to only eat to 80% full. It only contains 35 recipies, so it's more of a life changing book than a true diet book.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5If you like Japanese cooking this is a good introduction to the subject.
