News India Live, Digital Desk: The Japanese are cited as having the longest lifespan and fittest bodies 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’: 80% stomach filling rule

The 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 lots of variety

In Japanese food, many small bowls are used instead of one big plate. 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, refined 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. ‘Drink’ food and ‘eat’ water.

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.
