Book Description
Following on the heels of his hugely popular blockbuster, The 5-Factor Diet, celebrity trainer and nutritionist Harley Pasternak has searched the world to add a little variety and spice to your weight loss plan. The 5-Factor World Diet takes the 5-Factor principle–five meals a day, five core ingredients, five-minute prep time–and incorporates the best foods and nutritional habits from ten of the world’s healthiest countries.
While jetting to exotic locales with some of Hollywood's biggest stars as their personal health and fitness expert, Pasternak has sampled local cuisine from many corners of the world. 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. With suggested menus and more than 120 delicious recipes–from Japanese Chicken Yakatori and French Ratatouille to Chapchae Korean Stirfry and Oven Baked Swedish Meatballs–The 5-Factor World Diet will keep you healthy, fit, and looking your absolute best.

No Credibility,
By
This review is from: The 5-Factor World Diet (Hardcover)
I have not really read this book, and I don't think I will either, after seeing Harley Pasternak on TV. He claimed that the reason for the rampant obesity among Pacific Islands is that their diet consists heavily of tropical fruits such as papayas and mangoes which are high in calories,low in nutrition and lack fibre. What kind of nutrition expert will make such an ignorant and uninformed observation?According to the World Health Organization, Pacific Islands are obese because they have replaced their traditional diet with westernized junk foods and other fatty items such as spam, tinned corned beef, mutton flaps and turkey tails which are much cheaper and easier to come by than their traditional diet of fresh fish, local fruits and root vegetables. I wonder what other bits of misinformation are contained in these pages, but I won't be spending good money to find out.

Great Diet Book,
By A Guy in Indianapolis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The 5-Factor World Diet (Hardcover)
I recommend this common-sense diet book, particularly for the recipe section. This book is 271 pages long, not including notes, an index, and a separate index of recipes (which I think is a good idea). There are 125 pages of recipes, and I have tried a few and found them to be simple to prepare and very good. The estimated preparation times appear to be accurate. The various cuisines included in the recipes provide a good deal more variety that many diet plans, yet they all adhere to the basic principles of this diet. If the diet you're on is getting boring, this one should provide some good alternatives. Even if you're not on a diet, the recipes are worth the price of the book.

Easy, Excellent Recipes,
By 1nd00rCat - Published on Amazon.com
Okay, so this book explains why many Americans are overweight/obese (and you already know the reason: too many calories + not enough exercise) and then compares the way we eat to the diet of people from a handful of other countries (Greece, Italy, Japan, Sweeden, etc.), who rely on natural, fresh, low-calorie foods (and a good walk). It is all very common sense, but what makes this book so awesome are the recipes the author includes, inspired by his travels to these "healthy" countries. The recipes are easy, delicious, and nutritious (with many of them taking less than 30 minutes to make!) Follow the recipes and you won't be disappointed by the meal or snack you make. P.S. The salmon teriyaki is delightfully simple and crave-inducing!

This review is from: The 5-Factor World Diet (Hardcover)
The pot sticker recipes are healthy and fabulous. It is easier to make these then to order carry out. I also loved reading about the different approaches to eating and exercise in countries with low obesity rates.
