Raised in Tokyo, author Naomi Moriyama first travelled to the West as a college student, and promptly gained 25 pounds eating a typical Western diet. Returning home for the holidays, she found that the weight melted off as she reverted to the healthy diet of her homeland. The experience inspired her first book "Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat". Healthy and effective, "The Japan Diet" is based on the traditional Japanese style of eating and is filled with over 40 simple, delicious recipes: satisfying soups, fresh vegetables, delicate grilled fish; mouthwatering meals that will keep you satisfied for longer. And with a 7-day Healthy Eating Plan built on the foundations of the Japanese diet, but based on ready meals, takeaway foods and convenience items from supermarkets, this book is also ideal for those dieters without the time to cook. With clear, practical advice and handy shortcuts, this diet offers a fresh and easy approach to a healthier, slimmer lifestyle.

What would happen if you built one of the world's most advanced societies inside a forest--and strove to make women full partners&nbsp;in power? After living for twenty-five years in New York, Naomi&nbsp;Moriyama moved with her husband and co-author William Doyle and their seven-year-old child to the vast forest of Finland's Karelia, a mysterious&nbsp;region on the Russian border that helped inspire J.R. R. Tolkien's Middle Earth&nbsp;fantasies. She entered a life-altering zone of tranquility, peace,&nbsp;and beauty, the spiritual heart of the nation ranked as the happiest&nbsp;nation on Earth, with among the world's most empowered women. Finland is also the country with cleanest air and water&nbsp;and the best schools, a country where motherhood and fatherhood are&nbsp;championed by law, childhood is revered, schoolchildren are required&nbsp;to play outdoors multiple times a day, and trains contain&nbsp;mini-libraries and mini-playgrounds for children to enjoy. It was here in the Karelian forest that Naomi found a culinary&nbsp;symphony of succulent wild edibles, herbs, berries, mushrooms and&nbsp;fish, all freshly plucked from the moss-carpeted forest and sparkling&nbsp;clear streams. She also found something that changed her life--a tribe of&nbsp;invincible women who became her soul-sisters. As an idyllic summer and fall gave way to a sub-Arctic&nbsp;winter of mind-bending darkness and cold, Naomi faced her fears and&nbsp;her future. Over the course of six unforgettable months with her&nbsp;family and her new "sisters", she found her life transformed, and&nbsp;discovered the power that lay within her all along. Then she tried to leave. But she kept coming back. Come, take a journey deep into Europe's most distant, magical&nbsp;wilderness, and join the sisterhood of the enchanted forest.
