Dieting, as in restricting intake of calories, doesn't sound right. It's better to focus on in what form you eat those calories. Look at the Japanese, they don't go hungry and they don't get fat. They enjoy food. When I'm there I'm also slightly slimmer and I also enjoy eating the food. But when I'm in North America I'm starving - I can't find food that I want to eat. It's all highly processed junk food, burgers and greasy dressings and.. urgh. Local folks presumably know where to get edible foods, but travellers (for work or whatnot) don't.
