The Japanese food is admired worldwide, especially for the healthfulness. I am sure that you all know the ingredients on which these kind of diet is based. On fish, rice and vegetables of course!
It is also very low in red meat, dairy products or processed foods. The Japanese eat a lot of fish in a lot of different ways.
Other healthy components of the traditional diet are fruits (apples, persimmons, mandarins, etc.), grains (rice, buckwheat, etc.); soy products like tofu, miso and soy sauce; seaweed (rich in antioxidants and minerals); and green tea, whose potent antioxidants are widely recognized as effective in preventing some forms of cancer. Many seasonings and sauces are also healthy: pickled ginger, sesame seeds, wasabi (Japanese mustard), dashi stock made from seaweed and dried Bonito, and so on.
The only problem with a Japanese diet is the high salt intake, the high intake of pickled foods, the low protein intake.
So anyway before starting a diet first you have to speak with your doctor.
Anyway a Japanese diet is not easy to follow for most westerners but you have to know that many of the principles are worthy of being considered.
First of all the Japanese eat small amounts of many foods in each meal. They also eat rise instead of bread. Japanese eat a heavy breakfast and they also do enjoy dessert!!!
