One other important thing about the Okinawan diet: Okinawan elders eat a low calorie natural diet and they stop eating when they are 80% full. It's the calorie restricted diet that the average American fears.

Personally, I eat low-calorie natural whole-foods but I can't quite figure out exactly how one would know when they have reached 80% full.
