Lose 10 kg! Super easy weight loss method

Text/Ito Yu

I have been assigned to Tokyo for work, living alone away from my family; however, when I found that my weight was about to exceed the obesity benchmark and my body mass index (BMI) was about to exceed 25, I completely changed my thoughts and patterns on eating and living. I used to think that the only time I could compress in a day was eating, so I would take advantage of the free time at work to eat whatever food I could get at the time.

But then I stopped doing that. First, I set meal times, then try to eat the restaurant's daily specials at the same place, and find ways to get work done between meals. This is how I organize my calendar. Usually, I schedule breakfast at seven o'clock, lunch at twelve o'clock, and dinner at eight o'clock.

That is to change your mindset to: "Don't eat meals during work breaks, only work during meals." Of course, this is just a principle, because you will inevitably encounter urgent work, or need to go abroad to attend academic conferences or business trips, etc., so it is actually a very difficult thing. For people who are worried about losing weight, it may also be a big problem. However, there is still a big difference between being aware of meal times and not being aware of meal times.

As you get older, you become less able to eat greasy food. In fact, I gradually experienced this situation, and what I paid most attention to was the "burning sensation in the chest." As I mentioned before, if you always eat high-fat foods, cellular autophagy will not be able to proceed smoothly, and mitochondria will not be able to replace the old with the new. This will lead to organ anxiety. Therefore, in addition to making people uncomfortable, the "burning sensation in the chest" is also telling us that the "organ time" may be abnormal.

I have gradually been able to understand the "chest burning sensation" caused by different foods, and I have also made my own "Chest Burning Sensation Ranking of Cuisine from Different Countries", in the following order: Japanese cuisine → French cuisine → Italian cuisine → Chinese cuisine → Junk food

In addition, I can also judge the differences in the oils used in different restaurants for the same type of food. Therefore, I will try to avoid dishes that cause a lot of chest burning. There is another point I pay special attention to, and that is the order of eating. I always start with vegetables and try not to mix different foods together. Especially don't eat rice with side dishes.

Although rice does go well with yakiniku and other foods, I will still try to eat them one by one.

Eat, and finally have some rice. Eating it this way can also help reduce your rice intake. In other words, I think it is very suitable to eat it in the Japanese kaiseki style. The next thing that may be a little difficult is to try not to go back to work right after eating. When socializing at work, we often have to drink and eat together. However, alcohol is not harmful as long as we don’t drink too much. As for food, I will try to leave “a little bit”.

In fact, doing so will not cause blame from others, because others do not care about other people's food intake as much as you think. Many people would say, "There are too many opportunities to drink, and I will drink too much if I'm not careful. There's really nothing we can do about it." But in fact, there is nothing we can't help. In my opinion, blindly blaming others is more harmful to your body and mind.

I have continued this diet for the past few years, but in fact, I lost weight using this method in the first few months. I lost about ten kilograms and my waist circumference also decreased by ten centimeters. Not only did the high blood pressure disappear, but the problem of fatty liver was also solved. Until now, I have been relying on this method to maintain a certain weight.

Therefore, the most important daily behavior to keep our body clock running correctly is to maintain a regular diet. Treating diet as the basis of daily activities is the rule for arranging your calendar. This is my “clock gene weight loss method”.
