Japan and Weight Loss












So as you can see I've lost a little weight... In the face, belly and definitely lost the moobs! I can say that I am happy I lost weight but how you ask? What special Japanese method could I use to look the way I do now in just a month!?





Hell if I know.

That's the thing I don't. I eat whatever I want when I'm here and to be honest I eat a lot of unhealthy foods to. There aren't a lot of fruits and vegetables in a lot of the Japanese foods I've been exposed to, in fact I actually have to make an effort to find good fruits and vegetables to make my own salads if I ever want them. The diet here is primarily protein and carbs. Fish, noodles and rice. To be honest I think it is a mix of not snacking between meals, walking and a low fat diet. Also Japanese food in my opinion at least, is MUCH less processed and I truly believe there is much more nutrition in their food so I don't feel the need to keep eating.

Honestly though I eat more fried, and sugary snacks here than I ever did in Canada and much less vegetables... However I do not go out and eat pizza everyday or hamburgers... I like to eat sushi and noodles! I'm in Japan so I eat like the Japanese! Most of the time...

I said to my mom when I get back I'm going to want a massive hamburger and fries!!!

...No, not at all. I want a big ass salad with chicken breast in it... Meat that's not looking at me is good meat! :D

Anyway if anything I'm more confident in myself and my looks so if nothing else this trip has given me some very much needed self confidence! I hated not only taking pictures of myself but posting them was almost unheard of from me, but as you can see from my facebook I've been doing a lot more of that!

Till next blog!
