Emily Candler promotes new book on Healthy Eating while traveling in foreign countries

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Emily Caprice Candler makes healthy dining while traveling quite easy to follow with her guidebook that provides English translations, recommendations and calorie counts for hundreds of appetizers, entrees and desserts commonly found on restaurant menus in numerous 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 Candler, whose livelihood as a top model depends on healthy dining while traveling.

Candler said in the process of writing her healthy-dining-while-traveling book she learned that many of the foreign dishes she thought were "figure friendly" turned out to be "high-calorie catastrophes."

"Because it featured fish, I assumed that England's famous 'fish and chips' would be a fairly healthy snack, but I discovered that one serving contained over 1,500 calories," she said.

In her book, 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," said Emily Candler. "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: http://www.magicaleatingguide.com.
