### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great Book
  

*by H***0 on Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2011*

I have read this book 3 times now and I learn something new every time.  I have become a lot healthier and lost weight since applying the principles she teaches.  This book fueled my desire to learn more about Traditional Chinese Medicine and healing methods.The only thing I don't like about the book is the Chinese recipes.  Our culture has such different tastes and likes than the Chinese culture so I found the recipes and vegetable cooking ideas to be unhelpful.  But it is easy to take the principles she teaches to lose weight and become healthier and utilize those in connection with Western style recipes and eating.  Read and implement this book and you will be happy you did!

LOVE THIS BOOK. Like hearing from someone who actually spent time there and gained from it. I have added this to my interest category including the Okinawa Project and Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat.

    Why the Chinese Don't Count Calories Review
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2010*

This is a fantastic glimpse into Chinese culture. The tip of the iceberg you might say. I found this book an amazing read as Lorraine Clissold takes us through things as diverse as the Chinese attitudes to food (so different from the West),to balancing flavours(sour, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty), mastering ingredients, to taking restorative exercise .One of the most fascinating facts in this book to emerge,for me, was that while the Chinese have a much higher calorie intake, their body mass index is considerably lower. To find out how they achieve this you'll have to read the book.It is written in a very readable, casual manner that makes putting it down difficult. And there's easily achievable, simple recipes throughout the book.I'd definately recommend this book.
