International swimsuit model helps travelers and foreign food lovers select fitness-friendly dishes wherever they dine

nternational swimsuit model and worldwide traveler Emily Caprice Candler blends her passion for foreign cuisine with the mission of maintaining a photogenic waistline in her new book, "Magical Eating: A Worldwide Guide". (www.magicaleatingguide.com)

Her easy-to-follow guidebook provides English translations, picks, pans and calorie counts for hundreds of appetizers, entrees and desserts commonly found on restaurant menus in 23 countries.

"Menus in foreign countries can be very confusing, especially when restaurants don’t list the English language names of the dishes or don’t explain how the dish is cooked,” said Ms. Candler, whose livelihood as a top model depends in no small part on knowing how to order healthy meals in any restaurant in the world.
Ms. Candler said in the process of writing her book she learned that many of the foreign dishes she thought were “figure friendly” turned out to be “hi-calorie catastrophes.”

“Because it featured fish, I assumed that England’s famous ‘fish & chips’ would be a fairly healthy snack, but I discovered that one serving contained over 1,500 calories,” she said.

In her book, Ms. Candler reviews dishes commonly served at restaurants in China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, India, Turkey, Egypt, Persia, Israel, Russia, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain, England, France, America, Mexico, Canada, Brazil, Columbia and Peru.

“I searched but couldn’t find any books covering how to make healthy food selections while dining in foreign cities, so I decided to write one,” she said. “I hope the book also makes it a little easier to stay on your diet at your favorite ethnic restaurant right down the street.”

“Magical Eating: A Worldwide Guide” is available through Amazon.com or through the Web site; www.magicaleatingguide.com.
