News India Live, Digital Desk: The Japanese are given the example of longest life span and fit body in the world. Recently a woman shared her 21-day experience on social media, in which she only made ‘Japanese changes’ to her eating habits. Without any crash diet or sweating for hours in the gym, this woman not only lost weight, but also saw tremendous improvement in her energy and skin. After all, what is that ‘Japanese secret’ by adopting which you too can change your lifestyle? Let us know that woman’s 21-day weight loss journey and the 5 golden rules of Japanese diet.1. ‘Hara Hachi Bu’: Rule of filling the stomach 80%: People of Okinawa, Japan follow this ancient rule. It simply means – “Eat until your stomach is 80 percent full.” The woman told that she stopped eating due to full stomach. When he felt he was no longer hungry (a little before being completely satiated), he stopped eating. This reduced the pressure on the digestive system and the body stopped storing excess fat.2. Small plates and many varieties: In Japanese food, many small bowls are used instead of big plates. Instead of eating a lot of grains at once in her diet, the woman divided them into ‘portions’. It consisted of some rice, lots of boiled vegetables, fermented foods (like curd or pickles) and soup. Eating in a small plate signals the brain to fill the stomach quickly, which eliminates the problem of ‘overeating’.3. ‘Washoku’: Natural and fresh food. There is no place for processed food, flour and refined sugar in the Japanese diet. The woman consumed only fresh vegetables, fish and whole grains for 21 days. Oil and spices are rarely used in Japanese cuisine; Food is steamed, grilled or boiled. Due to this, the nutrients of the food remain intact and the calorie count remains low.4. Food is called ‘drink’ and water is called ‘eating’. Japanese people eat food very slowly and chew it. The woman shared the experience that she started chewing each bite at least 30 times. Ayurveda also states that “drink solids and chew liquids.” By eating slowly, digestive enzymes work better and metabolism speeds up, due to which weight falls rapidly.5. The magic of green tea and fermented food: The woman included Matcha or green tea in her daily routine instead of sweet tea and coffee. Additionally, Japanese people have soup (such as miso soup) with every meal. These things detoxify the body and improve gut health. The woman told that after 21 days, the bloating in her stomach was completely gone and a natural glow appeared on her skin. What were the changes after 21 days? Weight loss: The woman’s weight reduced by 3-4 kg. Energy level: The lethargy that used to last throughout the day disappeared. Skin glow: Blemishes on the face reduced and the skin started looking clear. Mental peace: Mindful eating reduced the stress level.
