I've never heard of that book but eating japanese does help with weight. At age 13 I was likely to become overweight (not obese just fat) as I got into high school i got into japanese culture and since i loved to cook (no wonder i was chunky) I started cooking alot japanese foods I'm now a bit under weight at 16 but that's probably from no fast food and lots of yoga in addition to my japanese/hispanic diet

well I have been eating more in japan than I do in the UK, and haven't gained any weight, but generally eating healthier is pretty simple, and that's all the book is, just healthy food.

the title is kinda misleading though, I mean, there's a ton of old and fat women here. :s

lol Really? confused Well... in the book she says that when she was like 21 she was 100 pounds and looked really young that she had to show her I.D when she went into an LCBO or whatever.


what I tend to see is that women don't age much for a certain amount of time, maybe until they are between 30-40 years old. After that they seem to age quicker than men. But that's just observation, I'm not saying it happens to everyone.

and there's TOO MANY fat girls here. Most lolitas I see are fat.
but the thing is, it's often a different kind of fat to western girls.
not many people are fat all over, but just have very very chunky legs, and well, my bf is japanese and says they're fat, so I don't feel bad about saying that either. I think it doesnt help that people are so short.
another thing is, my bf and his friends said that most people don't realise that they are short and have fat legs, it's only recently that japanese started to be aware of that.
