Comments on: Okinawa Diet http://www.mandymag.com/2006/02/24/okinawa-diet/ yes I've changed my theme again!

It's ideal to have all these factors but let's face it, the first 2 are very difficult to acheive in modern life where there are so much competition in the work place. The 3rd factor we can sometimes control but not completely. However, drinking tea is something we can definitely do. It takes about 10 minutes a day if you want to brew a few cups of tea. But if you prefer instant tea, which is abundantly available in the market, it takes even less time than that. So we may not have all of the ideal factors like the Okinawans, but 2/4 factors aren't bad.

Its not the Okinawa Tea, its eating the right way (natural and less salty). Okinawans eat plenty of vegetables, rice, noodles. They eat meat moderately. They even love pork here. The slow pace life here may contribute to their longevity. Most of the tea here comes from China. There's a handful places here that sells Okinawan made tea. You go to some mamasan store or you visit local friends here, they just drink the regular tea. Its their eating habit and lifestyle that gives them the longevity. I live here in Okinawa.

On the head! Funny how we are the one of the richest countries in the world, yet we are eating artificial food. It's the preservatives that our bodies wear. We can't digest them, so we wear them. We have got to get away from High Fructose Corn Syrup and it's evil cousins. My nephew went to Europe for a year, did not change his diet and lost 20 pounds. When he returned, he put it back on. Whole, natural foods without chemicals, and healthy living is the only way. There is no miracle out there. Or we could move to Europe! I think Sara nailed it. On the head!

Once you get past the initial shock of the taste - not initially as comforting as your traditional cuppa! - you quickly become acustomed to it. I've had 3 - 4 cups each day for the past week and now genuinely enjoy and look forward to drinking it. Maybe your body learns to crave for things that are good for it too?! It is high in anti-oxidants (great) and does help speed up your metabolism (even better for weight loss) - I have lost 2lbs this week. I do have a reasonably healthy diet and exercise but my weight has stayed fairly static now for a while. You do notice a definite change in your bowel movements as a result of drinking it. The people it doesn't work for perhaps already have a high metabolic rate anyway and therefore the tea isn't going to boost anything - only less calorific intake / exercise would help their weight loss. Or maybe they are drinking the tea in addition to the normal (unhealthier) drinks they consume and are just further increasing their calorific intake ? Substituting an existing drink with the Green Tea is definitely a better idea. Less dairy than regular tea or that caffe latte! I was very sceptical about this kind of thing but am now pretty convinced of the benefits... and unsurpised by the internet industry that has emerged in exploiting it with branding, packaging, promotion and over-pricing!!!

I lost 10 lbs along with little exercise and an ok diet. I wasnt sure if I had lost the weight because of the combination but I did not reorder the tea and I have a strickter diet and I exercise more and I havent been able to lose any more weight since then. so maybe the tea does really work afterall. I plan to reorder and I will get back to you in a month or so. I started taking okinawan tea in feb. I lost 10 lbs along with little exercise and an ok diet.

Definitely no reduction of jean size as was promised. Would like to take advantage of the money back guarantee however, cannot find an address to take advantage of their numerously repeated hype. Can anyone help. We have tried the tea for the full month without results. Definitely no reduction of jean size as was promised.
