“For Three Months I Enjoyed Keeping a Record of My Weight” Mr. K’s mode of life is quite irregular because of his job. He has many opportunities to drink. Because he was so busy, he could not care less about what he ate.
“When I started going on a diet and avoided eating fatty meals, my consciousness about food changed. When I overeat, I can tell it by instinct without making calorie calculation at all.”
He said that he stopped having late night meals as he enjoyed watching his weight decrease the following morning more. He found again that breakfast tasted better once he had given up eating late at night. He also said that recording his weight, which he thought tedious in the earlier stage, turned out to be fun contrary to his expectation.
“I am not the type of person who keeps things meticulously in order. But it is surprising that I have found it a pleasure to keep entering my weight daily into the graph. That’s what’s really great about this method.”
Mr. K writes reasons for weight increases in the graph such as “I joined a party to enjoy locally brewed ‘sake’.” He thinks that recognizing his own personality that makes excuse for his failure to keep to the diet rules also serves as material for reflection.
“You will fail if you bind yourself too tightly. Rather, you naturally begin to think that you have come this far by following the rules. It would be a waste for me to lose my achievement by overeating now. And I know that my body system does not put on weight if I eat a big meal. Increased weight from the meal goes away about three days afterwards.”
The table indicated above proves this. The data for April in particular presents a good example. As the director for the “Tameshite Gatten” TV program, Mr. K concluded by warning that women in particular should be careful about calcium shortage when they go on this diet. If people ever became bedridden because of osteoporosis in the future, prevention of lifestyle related diseases would be meaningless.”
I Understood It Because I Did It!
Diet Only by Weighing” as recommended by medical doctor Checking your weight and waist size is important The reason why fat is harmful to your body system is because it triggers high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia and all other lifestyle related diseases. In particular, when you reach middle age and your system loses the basic metabolism of energy that is consumed even while you rest, your weight tends to increase unless you control your meal and exercise appropriately. Therefore, you have higher chance of succumbing to lifestyle related diseases. To prevent fat, it is important for you to improve your eating habits and eliminate lack of exercise. Japanese today tend to eat heavier suppers affected by the nocturnal lives they are leading. Since the food you have for supper is apt to be stored as fat, you had better eat an adequate amount for breakfast and lunch and have a lighter supper. Refrain from eating or drinking immediately before you go to bed.
The “Diet Only by Weighing” is useful in checking your eating habits. The ideal way is to use weighing scales that show increments of 50g for fine checking. Also remember to move your body by setting a target of walking 10,000 steps a day. In addition to body weight, you should be careful about your waist size. It is a barometer of visceral fat that causes lifestyle related diseases. A waist size of over 80cm for a woman or over 85cm for a man is a warning signal for being overweight.
Measure your waist size or look at your figure in a mirror to see if your abdomen protrudes.
