Okinawa Diet for Beginners: An Easy-to-Follow Guide with Delicious Recipes and a 30-Day Meal Plan for a Sustainable Lifestyle (Cookbook for Beginners and Beyond) Paperback – December 31, 2023

Okinawan diet is considered one of the healthiest diets in the world but not necessarily well known in the west, and this manual is a great introduction to those looking for alternatives in their dietary habits and aspiring for a healthier lifestyle. The book includes the background of the diet, the lifestyle and philosophy, and the best part of it is it includes a meal plan, making it very easy to jump-start the diet routine without arduous planning and research. The most important part of any diet, adhering to it for long term, is also covered with tips. This book is a must for those looking for an all-included easy start for the Okinawan diet.

I like this book because it tells you how to eat healthy like people in Okinawa. They live long and are happy! It talks about yummy food and how to be more active. There are easy recipes and a 30-day meal plan too. The book teaches you how to live a simple and happy life by eating good stuff and being more active. I only wish the images used were better. It's easy to understand and it helps you stay healthy!

This guide offers some good knowledge on healthy eating habits and lifestyle choices. I found the meal plans provided both easy to follow and nourishing. I particularly liked trying the sushi rice bowl with avocado recipe. I think this is a good resource for those looking to enhance their well-being and adopt a healthier approach to living.

This book contains all the information you need to know about Okinawa diet and how to implement it in your day to day lifestyle. The diet plan this book has is one that helps you sustain a healthy life and helps you maintain good health. Worth the buy!

This book is wonderful! I just finished reading the book Ikigai and appreciate the respect of the Okinawan diet and culture. I love how the philosophy is explained here. The recipes are laid out well and are easily accessible to beginners. Can't wait to start trying these out!

This simple, straightforward guide has everything you need to get started. I loved the Green Tea Chia Pudding and Japanese Souffle Pancakes recipes—delicious and easy to make!The book’s vegetarian-oriented approach is refreshing, and it's perfect for anyone looking to explore the Okinawan way of eating.

Well researched and easy to follow. My kind of recipe book!

I really like how this book begins with Okinawan philosophies, explaining why Okinawans do things the way they do, such as ikigai and hara hachi bu. Both concepts are very practical, not only for dieting but also for life. The author provides a 30-day meal plan, and I tried a few of the recipes last month. For example, the miso egg drop soup is very easy to make and tastes quite good. The green tea chia pudding offers a very multi-dimensional experience, where you can taste the nuts and berries mixed with green tea. Each ingredient has a distinct flavor, but when combined, they come together in a harmonious orchestra for some reason.A few dishes in this diet plan that I'm not planning to cook are fried chicken karaage and tempura. I personally don't like fried dishes, and overheated oil during frying is not healthy anyway. Sure, both dishes probably taste great, but I'll pass on them.One suggestion: there are many dishes in the book, but they aren't listed in the table of contents, making it hard to find the dish I like later on. I have to flip through the book to find it again. If the author could list all the dishes in the table of contents, it would be much more convenient for readers.
