Consequently he has made a fascinating discovery: the farther he journeyed from the United States, the easier it was to seek out foods that were both nourishing and slimming. Now he reveals the international diet secrets of the world's healthiest people, including the self-control technique used by the Japanese that prevents them from overeating. the trick to combating heart disease in France (it's not just the wine). the reason Swedes stay slim and trim year round and have among the highest average life expectancies (80. 74 years). the key to Singapore' s low obesity rate (less than 2%). an explanation why notorious food-loving Italians are among the healthiest people in the world Pasternak also shares helpful advice about ordering in restaurants, as well as pantry-stocking and cooking tips.
