1. Stop
eating before you are full. The Okinawans, whose average BMI is 21.5
for those who eat a traditional diet, call this Hara Hachi Bu, or
eating till youre 80 percent full. Of course, we are not suggesting
that you leave the table hungry. But eating until the buttons pop
stretches the stomach by about 20 percent each time you do it, so you
inevitably need more food to feel satisfied, explains Bradley Willcox,
MD, co author of The Okinawa Diet Plan. He says that putting your fork
down when you feel that first twinge of fullness gives your brain a
chance to realize that you are full before you overdo it. 2. Drizzle on
the healthy oils. Healthy fats like olive oil, a staple of the
Mediterranean diet, and canola oil, a staple of Okinawans, make
vegetables tastier, so you are likely to eat more of them. And, as we
know, eating a diet rich in produce is key to maintaining a healthy
weight. 3. When you are eating, just eat. No other culture multitasks
meals the way Americans do with our TV dinners, fast food drive
throughs and grab an go food thats designed to fit into a car cup
holder and be eaten with one hand. In Japan, it is considered rude to
eat while walking. And youll never catch the French gulping coffee in
the car. In France, there are no car cup holders because you don it
drink coffee while driving, explains Will Clower, PhD, author of The
Fat Fallacy. . The French Diet Secrets to Permanent Weight Loss. Eating
and drinking arent errands. Its not what you do on the way to something
else. Good advice. When youre distracted by work, traffic or the TV,
youre apt to overeat without even realizing it, notes Dean Ornish, MD,
author of Eat More, Weigh Less. If you really pay attention to what
youre eating, you enjoy it more fully and dont need as much food. 4.
Get moving. People in Asian countries, France and the Mediterranean
tend to be slim because theyre more active. Not that they spend hours
at the gym. . they simply walk a lot. 5. Enjoy regular meals. One
reason French women dont get fat is because French women eat three
meals a day. You may think skipping meals cuts calories, but all it
does is evoke a primal fear of hunger response that causes overeating
later, explains Dr. David Katz, MD, author of The Way to Eat.
Throughout most of our history, we had too little to eat. So when you
go for long periods without eating, you stir up all that native
programming, which says eat like crazy when you can, because all too
often you cant. Start with breakfast. Studies show that
breakfast-eaters are slimmer than skippers. 6. Dine with others. Eating
with family or friends vs. alone in your car, at your desk or on the
couch is part and parcel of traditional cultures. Not only does
camaraderie make the meal more enjoyable, its slimming. Eating with
others restrains your own behavior, notes Dr. Katz. You eat more
slowly, which increases the likelihood that youll register when youre
full before youve eaten more than you should. 7. Chow down only when
youre hungry. Americans eat for all sorts of reasons besides hunger,
especially from boredom, loneliness, stress or fear, a foreign concept
in other cultures. You cant make food the solution to every issue in
your life and expect to be thin, says Dr. Katz. If you eat from
boredom, find a hobby. If you eat to relieve stress, learn meditation
or yoga. 8. Have a glass of wine. A staple of French and Mediterranean
tables, wine adds joy to the meal, and because it contains potent
antioxidants, is at least partly responsible for why these cultures
traditionally have lower rates of cardiovascular disease and mortality
despite their higher-fat diets. And while some studies show that we
tend to eat more when we drink, a Finnish study actually found that
male drinkers were leaner than abstainers.
