For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:16-17
Please respect the Name of God, don’t make jokes about the Holy Spirit. Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️! Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget! So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen.
My mother is a professional pastry chef, and I learned how to bake from her. One trick I started using to lose weight is if I see a pastry that I know how to make (cookies, cakes, etc) I say to myself "I know what is in that" or "I can do better" or "i know what this tastes like already" and this is how I talk myself out of eating it. I also used my knowledge of baking to cut out fats and surgar in the things I make at home. Most of my pastries are 30-70% less calories now. I encourage everybody to learn the chemestry of baking so you can cut unnecessary calories from your food too.
Muhahaha, i have the upper hand, it’s called being poor, nah I’m joking, sort of, I simply just ask if I can get more food for the same price, if yes then I have more money, if no I’m down a few coins. But that’s cool, I’m hoping to get into baking more and get a degree in it at some point! :D
A note about the sugar/sweetener at the table. Those are for the benefit of people who order coffee. It is usually served black at restaurants, so the customer would add sugar, powdered creamer, or artificial sweetener to their taste. Also, America also has, an apparently unique, thing where most restaurants/fast food places allow free refills on most drinks.
Don’t forget iced tea! Sweet tea - make it sweep. Unsweetened tea - drink as is, or sweeten to your desired level of sweetness, or use artificial sweeteners

As someone who's currently in the process of losing a lot of weight (highest weight was 321 lbs/146 kg, started seriously trying to lose weight at 309 lbs/140 kg, currently 283 lbs/128 kg after about 12 weeks, goal weight 185 lbs/84 kg), I can confirm that letting go was the first step (not just of the emotional pain from people making fun of my weight, but also of the idea that I had to eat to get full, like every other American does). I'm doing this for me...I don't want to wake up one day when I'm 40 years old, and find myself headed to the hospital with a heart attack that I might not survive (I just turned 37 a few days ago). I've begun eating more vegetables, and almost completely cut out sugary drinks and desserts. I'll soon be starting back on the gym grind, as well. Mrs. Eats, I appreciate you sharing your story and your bravery, I wish all the best for you and Mr. Eats on his journey, and I hope to hear more of it in the future. Meanwhile, I'll be cheering him on while on my own journey to health :) .
Thank you for sharing your story! You are are making great progress! I’m so proud of you!!!! I am still in my journey to cut down junk food and eat more healthy and do exercise too. Every day little by little it will count! I’m sure you can make it happen! we are cheering for you!!
Best of luck. With becoming active, I suggest starting slow and gradually increasing your intensity. For example, my running coach had me start slow with run/walk and progress to run/resting jog. I am not as fast as the others (yet), but I can now run an entire 5K and more. Mr. Ross also showed me what muscles to train in the legs for running. I also cross train with weights and karate to prevent injury and to protect joints.
adding sugar to soda was the funniest thing to me, but i understand the confusion. we use it for coffee because coffee is usually served with no cream or sugar. i hope nobody is adding sugar to soda...
@bluehawk56 depends where you come from. Fruit and veggies were definitely spenno, but eating out was soooo cheap. What would cost $40+ in my country for a meal would only be $20 in Japan.
I know exactly what you are saying. I went from 250lbs (113kg) to 120lbs (54kg) and I thought I would automatically be confident. No. I even had a family member who thought I would go from baggy clothes to dressing like a supermodel. No. I discovered that my lack of confidence was inside., not outside

While watching this, I was pleasantly surprised and appreciative of your own story. I’m Japanese-American and this really helps me understand why my grandparents would talk about my or my cousins weight all of the time. I thought they were just saying these things to be mean, but now I see it may be more of a cultural thing passed down. I am starting a journey myself with losing weight and trying to be the best version of myself, and your story was so inspiring and exactly what I’ve been needing to hear. Thank you so much and best of luck to Mr. Eats and his road to better health. Please do give us some updates! ❤ you and your channel
The last part made me cry. I lost a lot of weight over the last years, after i gained a lot troughout a abusive Relationship i had after i left my also very abusive Family. As Kid i was always the super skinny one, people always tellt me i should eat more and even bullied me for my skinny chicken legs and being a Ginger also didn't help much. But i didn't get much food at home, so i never gained much weight until i had the chance to leave them. But as i said, i got from one Hell in the other Hell. There i gained a lot of weight and people started saying, just stop eating, you are so fat, you will die early, ect. ect. But i couldn't stop, quite the opposite, the more people and my Ex-Boyfriend treated me badly, the more i ate and isolated me xx. I have still a bit to loose and it's getting really hard, when you at a state, where results come slower and slower. And you are right, loosing weight didn't help my mental-health. I'm at 76kg now and still feel like my 110kg self and think People make fun of me, when they compliment me and stuff. I don't had a boyfriend since the breakup 3 Years ago and even though i sometimes miss the company, i can't bring myself to trust a Guy at the moment. Especially because I'm afraid that my mental state is not yet far enough that I don't fall for the same type of man again. Thanks for youre nice and helpfull Words and for youre Videos who make me always smile :).
Hang in there, I know you will be fine and you will achieve everything you want in life. I know you can do it. You have to believe you can do it too. It all starts in the mind and the subconscious. We can rewire our brains and change our lives. There’s so many ppl who care about you, including me and I don’t even know you. I know you are a good person. I love you.
when you find the right person that can encourage you the way you want them to.That won't treat you in that way and will love every part of you... you won't even care how long you waited for them 💜 so proud of you.
Sorry to hear. Men really can be quite a problem at times. However available data suggests that the worst tiny minority of all people, of all demographics, is at most, 1% to 5% of all of us. It is wise to stay away from dating and relationships for a while, work on yourself, heal, and learn how to spot Red Flags in future. It can be helpful to learn about how manipulative, gaslighting narcissists operate, but if you do it too much, you will make yourself overly vigilant to the point of paranoia. It happened to one lady I knew who's only socialising was talking to victimised women, as she obsessed over Narcissism and associated Red Flags. I had to stop speaking to her eventually. Conversation the last 4 years became nearly nothing but her obsession and despising her ex and her acting like the entire world was against her. There is a harsh truth that both toxic personalities, and their victims struggle to cope with. Nearly always, the entire world *is not* out to get them. There are 8 billion people on the planet, and 99.999999% of them will never even know they exist, never mind have a strong opinion for or against them. Recommendations: Carol Dweck's Growth Mindset, also seeking therapy if you can access it for free or afford it. Else for advice from professionals; Dr Tracey Marks or Mark Tyrrell of Uncommon Knowledge UK. Also, learning about Critical Thinking skills of Cognitive Biases and Logical Fallacies can be extremely useful for your own life, and society. Eg, those of us who have been totally crushed by the worst people, are often afraid to like ourselves in case we become those who hurt us. There is only a tiny bit of overlap between having self-esteem and self-confidence, and being a toxic narcissist. To say they are exactly the same is the logical fallacy of False Equivalence. "A chihuahua is exactly the same species as a Lion. Exactly, exactly the same. They both have a face, eyes, a nose, mouth, growl, and have four legs with claws and a tail" Or as articulated by Simon Sinek: "Confidence is believing in yourself. Arrogance is telling others you're better than they are. Confidence inspires. Arrogance destroys"

Spoke to me so hard when you mentioned the mean little voice everyone has telling them "You're disgusting". 💕 I love hearing your perspective about life.
Really appreciate how you incorporated your own story into this as a way to show some personal perspective to the audience! It makes it more relatable imo. I've also been wanting to visit Japan (since I have a friend there), but it might be a little trickier since I'm vegetarian 😅

Agreed! Mr Eats is not that big (from my American perspective), but I would definitely support him and maybe get healthier myself by watching his journey. Already from this video I'm thinking of cutting out my junk food. Again. Sigh.
Thanks for another great video! Your story was super relatable. Here in the U.S., most women struggle the way you did. I’m a very muscular (“big”) person myself, plus I love to eat, but I managed to do what you did- find a healthy balance, let go of shame/trauma, and make healthier choices. Please keep making videos! You guys are my fave Japanese channel! ❤
I would LOVE to follow Mr. Eats' journey! I also grew up at a bigger kid. I went back and forth between starving myself and binge eating until my early 20s, constantly disgusted with my own body. Because of my family history of heart disease and diabetes (combined with my low self-esteem), I started trying to be healthier, little by little, about 6 years ago. I have lost over 100lbs (45kg) so far, and I am so so close to my goal weight! I feel so much better now, and my doctor is quite pleased. I'm cheering you on, Mr. Eats! And congratulations to you, Mrs. Eats, for all that you've accomplished. Thanks for sharing your story ^_^
thank you for sharing your story about struggling with weight, having been a very chubby asian during my youth as well your story really made me emotional. And then adding in the funny skits in between really made me laugh. I love your story telling and video style! Made me subscribe :)
Mrs. Eats I really appreciate what you have said, especially about your weight loss journey. I'm still going through the same thing when you lost weight. I thought losing weight would solve my problem, but instead my mental health was something I needed to fix, also. Thank-you for giving me insight and hope on your mental and emotional journey. That you can let go is something I see myself doing, eventually. I'd also like to see your husband's journey on his weight loss. I want to cheer for him and you (for your support). :) :) :)
thank you for sharing your own story. What you said about people bullying others for being overweight is so true. It's rarely helpful, if ever. It's especially damaging for children and teenagers who first need to built up their self-esteem. Your tip on staying slim by not buying unhealthy food may sound simple enough but it's spot on. It's easier to walk past it when grocery shopping than trying to resist overeating on it once you have it at home.
Loved this video! As someone who's going through some weight gain after the pandemic it's been so hard to get motivated again. I really connected with your story and really want to see your husband's progress too! I also ordered some AG 1 with your link! Can't wait to give it a try! Thanks for sharing your story and best of luck to you!
My first time here on your channel and love how you and Mr. Eats help each others. Yes, my parent came from a country where you walk miles to get to where you're going. I grew up in America, where you walk to the car and drive almost every where. I was 95 lbs in high school, later on I got married and had children. I was at my heaviest 170 lbs for a 5 ft person after having 7 children and daily life stress. After health problems like you said in your video here. I started to lose weight, I'm at 125 lbs now and still losing more weight. Stay healthy and stay safe. Thank you for sharing.
To-go bags are revolutionary! I ask for one and split my food in half before I start eating in US restuarants, otherwise it's too easy to eat too much!
While we were in Japan last, my wife and I lost 10 lbs each. We didn't hold back at all on what we were eating, but the the combination of walking constantly and not having easily accessible things to snack on probably did most of it.
(Heehee, the sugar on tables in America is really for your coffee or tea. I don't know if anyone actually adds any to sweetened sodas, they've gotten pretty over-sweet since they switched to corn syrup mostly anyway. (Real sugar was more expensive so they didn't just dump it in like they do now. I can't even stand much of the stuff anymore. :) ) ) To-go boxes/'doggie bags' are pretty essential if you can't/don't want to eat a lot at a sitting, but actually portion sizes have been coming down cause of 'shrinkflation,' (charging the same price for less of the product to try and make it look like they aren't gouging.) But I notice cause I'm used to getting two meals out of a dinner. :)
Thank you for sharing your personal story. I too am on the weight management journey and the emotional ups and downs do not make it easy. I love the humor in your videos and this particular one was very inspirational. I wish Mr Eats well in his journey. It would be great to get any updates you are willing to share.
Yes! please post his and your journey to better fitness and preventing type 2 diabetes. I personally think it will give him more commitment to staying on the path to better healthy living, and will also continue to encourage you to remain strong for him.
That was amazingly brave to share that story and heartening to see how you guys are moving forward together. We're trying to do the healthy thing too, so thought we'd try the Athletic Greens. Fun fact, the New Zealand company doesn't send product to New Zealand 😂
Thank you so much!! I hope you enjoy your healthy journey! These days we drink a lot of smoothie of course with AG1! I hope you can get your hands on it soon!!
I love your videos so much. They are so funny and you and Mr. Ears are too adorable together. This video really hit home. As a bigger person myself, I know the struggle. I’m constantly trying to lose weight and have weeks where I exercise and eat healthy then whenever depression sets in, all that goes out the window. It can be a real struggle, especially when one does not have any support.
Was just there for 10 days. Lost about 5lbs. Didn't change my diet, but everything is so convenient that I walked about 3-5miles every day without noticing or feeling exhausted. Can't wait to move there in a couple years.
You are both an inspiration. I know Mr. Eats will be a success in his journey to better health. I would love to not only see this as part of this channel's story, but as someone who was overweight most of my life, I hope to be an encouragement as well.
I find your content informative and encouraging, plus the humor hits my funny bone. As a formerly overweight bullied individual, I really enjoy hearing your stories and positivity.
The one thing that surprised me about living in Japan was the lack of diet soda. I don't like the full sugar options, but there was only Pepsi. You can, of course, get coffees and teas, but if you like sugar-free Monster, Pepsi, or even coke, it will be a little difficult to find. I think this might be because sodas are seen more as "snacks", whereas, in the UK and US, we think of them as drinks or drinks that accompany the meal, which means we more often go for the low sugar option (in the UK) because we are drinking them more often.
Do you guys can even function properly, though? Doesn't soda harm your bones and kidney, at least? How much water do you usually drink? Do you even drink water? Sorry, I just can't imagine drinking anything else other than water as often as eating
@@dwi5582 I do not speak for all British people, and I would say that my consumption is way higher than the normal person. I never drink just water, I absolutely hate the taste, and even when I am very thirsty I can only manage a few sips before I get a stomach ache (I don't know what on earth that is about, but it has happened all my life). My kidneys, bloodwork, and health are absolutely fine. I have recently started drinking green tea, but again, I can only manage a couple of sips a day. I should also note, that two servings (250ml each) could easily keep me going for the whole day (if I drink green tea, I could probably have three cups). Essentially I drink a pint of liquids a day and I can't manage more than that unless it is extremely hot. My lack of liquid consumption has really freaked my friends out.
I Love you for giving me Joy and Security of my weight...😌 Korean people naturally dislike fat people...😔 Korean people think in a stereotypical traditional way as if being viewed as overweight is truly unhealthy and a horrible thing in which maybe it is true in some cases... However, even though Korean people try to say positive things towards you, they can't help but mean the opposite of what they have meant...😕 For Example: They say you're pretty but then say you need to lose weight because you will look even much prettier...😟 Emotional Damage 💔 😮💨 Korean people can't be satisfied with other korean peoples weight even though I'm part Korean, part Phillipino and White American. Even if you are slightly part Korean, you as well aren't discredited to have the same fat shaming judgment of Korean people... Korean people care but sometimes they come off the wrong way and don't realize that what they say could do harm towards a person who is already worried about their uncontrollable weight... Being American I'm glad to have people to enforce positive reassurement to those who are struggling from Obesity...
Sugar is for unsweetened drinks, which are common with restaurant meals here. Iced tea, coffee, and tea (usually a generic black tea, but sometimes you have options) are standard drinks people often get when eating out. In the south, iced tea can be sweet tea, but it's almost never pre-sweetened up north. Salt and pepper are generally for the ubiquitous fries offered at almost every type of establishment. I can't think of when I saw someone add salt to something that wasn't potatoes of some kind. Also, we have separate courses for what you seem to eat at once. That soup and pickles you showed would be an appetizer here. Also, our culture isn't an issue in quite the way you think it is. Being fat does make strangers feel free to say all kinds of things to you. For more than 100 years, young white guys have had a practice of asking out fat women they consider ugly so they can then publicly humiliate them for believing them. They call it "pig parties," and there are stories about them from the WW I era to now. The difference in our culture is corporate influence, not shame or laziness. We've generated the most wealth in the world while wages haven't kept pace with inflation or productivity for almost 50 years. Our food laws require rigorous and irrefutable scientific proof of harm to ban anything, not to prove it can be eaten. Canadian versions of the same product are often healthier. We have little public transportation and tons of urban and suburban sprawl. Commute times are an average of an hours drive, and average salaries barely cover housing. We suffer from "food deserts" with minimal access to healthy whole foods. So while competitive sports are so central to our culture that my parents both competed in different sports from their youth to their 50s and most people I know have practiced a sport at some point, most in my generation and younger haven't had the time to get and make healthy food or exercise _and_ make money. It's to a point that standing desks, under desk treadmills and ellipticals, and other tools for getting in exercise while working are gaining popularity. Unfortunately, most of us don't control our work environment enough to make use of such tools.
I love these videos you make about body issues. I have very high insulin sensitivity and thyroid issues genetically so it is very easy for me to gain weight. I live a healthy lifestyle but am always thicker than I’d like. People wouldn’t really look at me and call me ‘fat’ but I look in the mirror and can only usually see my flaws. When I went to Japan as a child I was an average weight, if not a little higher, for a 12 year old girl of my size but I felt so big compared to my Japanese friends. Your sense of humor, honesty, sweetness, and loving relationship really shows how valuable you are beyond the look of your body. Keep up the great work! ❤️
I would love to see follow up vids with Mr Eats. Also wanted to say thank you very much for sharing video. I myself in the last 13 months have lost 55lbs and like you said it comes with alll kinds of changes and things that need to be addressed, emotionally, physically, mentally and for some spiritually. To those making the change and tell Mr Eats if you mess up don't beat yourself up, just get back on that horse. Were all human and food is the hardest relationship to havewith at times.
As an American it can be a real chore finding simple things like tea and coffee not loaded with sugar. This has been improving in recent years, but I still can't find unsweetened green tea at my local grocery store.
Its the first time I watch your video and my first tought was: what an EXTRAORDINARY WOMAN, WITH A STRONG MIND , and a Beautiful and smart soul! I dont share your experience but, I struggled with substances abuse for over 10 years and it took me at least a few years to feel happy and well. And in ours experience we had similars obstacles to overcome and goals to achive. As you say its not a short effort but a new way to live....I wish you all the succes you deserve , a lot of cool discoveries along the way, some new friends to be with you along the way, and to alway always love yourself as you are, with the strenght to improve what you like less, and to feel rich with what you love about yourself....🤗 Chantale from Montreal, Canada 🌞
I work remotely from home in the US. I've been losing weight (walking after work 7k steps) but it's hard with all the food around. I wear an Apple Watch now so It nags me to do exercise so it helps.
Yes many Japanese gained weight after lockdown and remote work became popular! We call it "Coronabutori". It mean "Fat from corona". So Japanese can easily get fat if they don't walk regularly too!
Those watches are inaccurate you should do what I do and weight yourself every 3 days to track your progress. It has been shown that those alarm systems are tuned out over time but calibrated scales do not lie.
@@madmerlot841 Yeah you usually cannot exercise your way out of a bad diet. I just use food substitution and try to eat fiber with every food I eat to lower absorption also no soda, juice or other sweeten drink just water, coffee or non sweeten tea. Also I did gradual changes.
@MadMerlot Apple Watch user supporter here! 👋🏾 It definitely helps, if you’re willing to work with it. A mile & a half to work every day, with all the useful metrics at hand. I love it!
👊!!! Good Morning Mrs & Mr Eats! Thanks for sharing you personal stories, nicely done. You have no idea how important your words at the end mean to me. “Kindness, Compassion and Encouragement”. & “We have a long way to go, but I can start with ME, and the people I LOVE.” ❤️😎🙏🏻 Thank You!!!
EXIT 13!!! Thank you so much for generuos super chat!! 😭😭😭 How are you?? I'm so happy this video could make you feel touched!! Yes we can always start with ourself and our loved ones!! I hope you have great week!!
@@MrsEats Hello Mrs Eats, all is well. Thanks for asking. 😊 I hope both of you realize how much your sense of humor, and perspective brings happiness and joy to so many of your YT Fan’s! Mr Eats Slim Jim ‘compliment’ was so funny! 🤭🇯🇵❤️
I'm so happy our content mean a lot to you! We really try to make the best video we can so we're happy that it can reach you!! Oh you know Slim Jim! In Japan we have it too but we call it "Calpas". But Mr. Eats always say "Slim Jim" when he sees it. It's very confusing to me sometimes haha!!
@@MrsEats LOL! Mr Eats is imitating a TV commercial of US Pro Wrestler Randy ‘MACHO MAN’ Savage from the ‘90s. His impersonation is perfect, so funny! 👏👊
Thank you for sharing your past experiences and struggles. It’s encouraging to know I’m not alone! I would love to see future updates about Mr. Eats and his progress. 🎉
One thing I've been seeing lately in Japan is workout equipment in parks. I think that's a fantastic idea and wish they had that in America. Morning exercise programs outdoors played over speaker system would be great also.
The sugar on the table is to use if you order coffee. I don’t know of anyone putting it in their soda. There may be someone out there but it’s not commonly done.
Definitely interested in seeing your husband's journey with your positive attitude. I myself am eating healthier and want to make it sustainable. Your video encourages me, thank you very much.
fatshaming causes symptoms like overweight to get worse, it makes people feel bad and they go eat their feelings. i'm glad you're pushing for better handling of the issue. ♥
Your videos are so entertaining! Cute. Funny! You take an interesting and serious topic and make it engaging. I appreciate your conscientiousness. You and your husband are beautiful people! Thank you for sharing ❤
8:42 just made me literally laugh out loud - you are awesome! and adorably funny 😂. also i really identified with and loved when you said "another thing I realized that I've got to make the Healthy Choice easy and a bad choice harder - if I keep junk food in the house it's only a matter of time before I dig into the box of chips and stuff" SO TRUE! and very helpful and actionable advice!! good luck to Mr Eats on his health journey and i will be staying tuned to your channel! it's so refreshing and makes me truly smile to see such a healthy and wonderful couple as The Eats are 😍 last thing! your story hits very close to home for me and i was overweight until i went to university basically and hearing your story truly makes me feel your struggle and i never would have realized that on the other side of the world someone was going through the exact same thing as me in a completely foreign country and culture. i was not shamed quite to the degree in the way you seem to have been by others ( just by myself as you also mentioned), but i know many people who have been unfortunately. No matter who or where you are we all have the same struggles it seems and i'm so glad you have found the path to being happy and comfortable in your own skin 😄
I have my own story to tell, relevant to the conversation, perhaps. I had the opposite problem of struggling with my weight. I simply . . . wasn't hungry, and I could eat very little and still feel full. Like, I venture I probably could have gone full days without eating if I didn't remind myself to. I was often eating out of obligation rather than because I was hungry. Because of this, I was always skinny, at least, by US standards. I had lots of medical trouble spring up that caused me to eat less and less. I was underweight for a large chunk of my life. And whenever my depression hit, I wouldn't feel like eating at all. I'm considered overweight now because I'm finally able to eat food. Because I'm finally feeling hungry sometimes (I still find myself having to eat out of obligation though. My body doesn't always send hunger signals when it should and learning to listen to signals I haven't listened to in many years is a process). My medical troubles have not gone away fully but at least my stomach's in a relatively good place. Physically, this is the best I've felt in a long time, even though I am still disabled and in chronic pain. So to me, being overweight feels fine. But it's the judgment of society and of other people in my life that make it feel not fine. I was constantly getting the message I looked great when I was underweight and sick. But now that I'm eating actually well and feeling better overall, I'm getting the message that I don't look as good as I used to. So I feel that people still associate health with weight but keep forgetting that being underweight comes with its own very significant health problems. If you're underweight or overweight and reading this, I guess my point is, live your life for you. If you want to get to a healthy weight for you, that's your call, and no one else's. You are fantastic and lovable no matter what. I hope you have a great day.
Every time I go out to eat, I know that meal may end up being three meals for me. So yes, the portions are massive, but there's no law saying you have to eat it all in one sitting. My husband used to gorge and clean his plate. After he hit thirty he announced that it wasn't fun being overfull anymore and started splitting his meals as well. Now it's expensive to go out, but it's not so bad when you know that you're actually getting two nice dinners. And no. We will NEVER share. Nobody touches my food. It's MINE. (And he had siblings. He doesn't split evenly.)
I have Type-2 Diabetes, the Keto Diet is ideal and you can figure out what kind of Keto Diet works best for you (Super Clean, Clean, Semi Clean, Vegan, Vegetarian, etc) Also they have many keto options now! Like Keto Ice Cream (Rebel or some Halo Top), even affordable Keto bread (Sara Lee Delightful/white, not wheat!), Keto Noodles ("miracle noodles" and other brands/types), Keto Pastries of all sorts and chocolates/candy, etc Also there are sweeteners, such as Pyure Sweetener which I swear by! And they keto powdered sugar! So you can be creative and use keto bread to make safe and healthy French Toast! *However be warned:* The first 1-2 months of Keto SUCK!! It takes a little while for your body to adjust and to get rid of all the bad stuff and start using the fat that your body has stored up instead :-3 But eventually your body will adjust and even start craving those yummy foods (oh also they have keto chips even! X-3 So yummy) Tip when starting out: GET RID OF EVERYTHING IN YOUR HOME THAT HAS TOO MANY (net) CARBS!!! As you know those can be a huge problem and temptation! *Personal Experience:* I used to be 260 borderline Diabetic Type-2, but now I'm 200, going for 190lb ! And that's without exercise! (tho I do like to, I just don't always have the time to walk all day at the mall, 5-10 miles) Fyi - I do 'Semi-Clean' Keto, since I'll still enjoy Diet Sodas and processed foods (usually meat) - it's yummy and I just don't have the funds to keep it clean and my sanity at the same time.
In USA the sugar packs on the table are for tea or coffee. The tea is often very very strong if you order iced tea that THEY made. You may need to add more water as well to dilute it. Hot tea is a cup of water with a tea bag on the side. If you order a cup of coffee it comes with a very small single container of cream & the coffee is likely so strong brewed so you may need either the sugar or to pour some water in to dilute it.
The way Japanese eat is one of the reasons I want to visit Japan. I love how meals are served so small. The US serves wayyy too much food! Especially in the south. Southerners like to make sure their family and guests get plenty. It's also rude to not clean your plate. As for the sugar on the tables in US restaurants that isn't to make our soda sweeter.....I mean people could use it for that if they want lol....but the sugar is for coffee, or tea. Within the last two years I have trained myself to not put sugar in my green tea.....If I do want a little sweetness, I eat a cookie with my tea.
I really enjoy your videos. You and Mr. Eats are such an adorable couple! Please do follow up videos on his journey to get healthy with you. God bless you both!
I actually ended up gaining weight due to some of the stress anxiety and isolation, especially during the pandemic. But it would have probably been worse if the same things happened while living in America and im getting help to loose the weight now.
❤❤ Oh my, this has to be your best video ever. So funny with a great message. Thank you Mrs Eats. I know you can help and support Mr. Eats on his journey. I would enjoy videos on that. Perhaps a daily surprise Kancho will keep him on his toes and keep him moving. 😂 Love to you both.
Mr eats in this had me laughing out loud at 2am in a quiet house lol... I swear this had me laughing and also made me feel bad for you... Its a shame people fat shame.. Thank you for creating and sharing this with us..
Yes! Please make Mr. Eats weight loss videos. Mr. Eats is about the same age as I am, and recently weight gain has been catching up with me and showing up as high blood pressure and sleep apnea. It would be interesting to see how Mr. Eats loses weight and what kinds of foods he eats. I'm looking for new ideas to manage my diet.

Sugar packets are not for putting in soda but for coffee or tea. No one puts the sugar packets in their soda.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:16-17
Please respect the Name of God, don’t make jokes about the Holy Spirit.
Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️!
Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget!
So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen.
My mother is a professional pastry chef, and I learned how to bake from her. One trick I started using to lose weight is if I see a pastry that I know how to make (cookies, cakes, etc) I say to myself "I know what is in that" or "I can do better" or "i know what this tastes like already" and this is how I talk myself out of eating it.
I also used my knowledge of baking to cut out fats and surgar in the things I make at home. Most of my pastries are 30-70% less calories now. I encourage everybody to learn the chemestry of baking so you can cut unnecessary calories from your food too.
food science in general is good to know
Share the recipes 🙏🏻
This is so underrated. Learn how and what is happening while "processing" your own food will help you the most with cutting unnecessary stuff from it.
Muhahaha, i have the upper hand, it’s called being poor, nah I’m joking, sort of, I simply just ask if I can get more food for the same price, if yes then I have more money, if no I’m down a few coins.
But that’s cool, I’m hoping to get into baking more and get a degree in it at some point! :D
I’m a home baker and chef and I do the same thing. I hate eating out because 90% of the time I can make it at home much better and healthier.
A note about the sugar/sweetener at the table. Those are for the benefit of people who order coffee. It is usually served black at restaurants, so the customer would add sugar, powdered creamer, or artificial sweetener to their taste.
Also, America also has, an apparently unique, thing where most restaurants/fast food places allow free refills on most drinks.
Don’t forget iced tea!
Sweet tea - make it sweep.
Unsweetened tea - drink as is, or sweeten to your desired level of sweetness, or use artificial sweeteners
we often have free water when its hot outside in Texas.
Get over yourself. Americans are too fat. Sugar on the table is just one more reason!
@@BasicDad4547 lots of free water, here in Utah, during summer

As someone who's currently in the process of losing a lot of weight (highest weight was 321 lbs/146 kg, started seriously trying to lose weight at 309 lbs/140 kg, currently 283 lbs/128 kg after about 12 weeks, goal weight 185 lbs/84 kg), I can confirm that letting go was the first step (not just of the emotional pain from people making fun of my weight, but also of the idea that I had to eat to get full, like every other American does). I'm doing this for me...I don't want to wake up one day when I'm 40 years old, and find myself headed to the hospital with a heart attack that I might not survive (I just turned 37 a few days ago). I've begun eating more vegetables, and almost completely cut out sugary drinks and desserts. I'll soon be starting back on the gym grind, as well. Mrs. Eats, I appreciate you sharing your story and your bravery, I wish all the best for you and Mr. Eats on his journey, and I hope to hear more of it in the future. Meanwhile, I'll be cheering him on while on my own journey to health :) .
congrats and good luck on the rest of your journey!
Thank you for sharing your story! You are are making great progress! I’m so proud of you!!!! I am still in my journey to cut down junk food and eat more healthy and do exercise too. Every day little by little it will count! I’m sure you can make it happen! we are cheering for you!!
Good luck on your journey! Something that really helped me is the carnivore diet, check it out!
Keep going and don't look back. I lost 70 lbs and it changed my life.
Best of luck. With becoming active, I suggest starting slow and gradually increasing your intensity. For example, my running coach had me start slow with run/walk and progress to run/resting jog. I am not as fast as the others (yet), but I can now run an entire 5K and more. Mr. Ross also showed me what muscles to train in the legs for running. I also cross train with weights and karate to prevent injury and to protect joints.
adding sugar to soda was the funniest thing to me, but i understand the confusion. we use it for coffee because coffee is usually served with no cream or sugar. i hope nobody is adding sugar to soda...
When I was in America for 4 weeks I lost 5kg, yet when I was in Japan for 3 weeks, I gained 3kg XD japanese food just tastes so good
Oh!! You are another CHOSEN ONE!!
@bluehawk56 depends where you come from. Fruit and veggies were definitely spenno, but eating out was soooo cheap. What would cost $40+ in my country for a meal would only be $20 in Japan.
@@MrsEats😂
But the weight gained in Japan probably was good weight, and the weight lost in American was probably water weight.
Same here +10 kg in 3 years in Japan 😂
I know exactly what you are saying. I went from 250lbs (113kg) to 120lbs (54kg) and I thought I would automatically be confident. No. I even had a family member who thought I would go from baggy clothes to dressing like a supermodel. No.
I discovered that my lack of confidence was inside., not outside
The Skits with Mr. Eats are always good fun!
You two guys are super funny!

While watching this, I was pleasantly surprised and appreciative of your own story. I’m Japanese-American and this really helps me understand why my grandparents would talk about my or my cousins weight all of the time. I thought they were just saying these things to be mean, but now I see it may be more of a cultural thing passed down. I am starting a journey myself with losing weight and trying to be the best version of myself, and your story was so inspiring and exactly what I’ve been needing to hear. Thank you so much and best of luck to Mr. Eats and his road to better health. Please do give us some updates! ❤ you and your channel
The last part made me cry. I lost a lot of weight over the last years, after i gained a lot troughout a abusive Relationship i had after i left my also very abusive Family. As Kid i was always the super skinny one, people always tellt me i should eat more and even bullied me for my skinny chicken legs and being a Ginger also didn't help much. But i didn't get much food at home, so i never gained much weight until i had the chance to leave them. But as i said, i got from one Hell in the other Hell. There i gained a lot of weight and people started saying, just stop eating, you are so fat, you will die early, ect. ect.
But i couldn't stop, quite the opposite, the more people and my Ex-Boyfriend treated me badly, the more i ate and isolated me xx.
I have still a bit to loose and it's getting really hard, when you at a state, where results come slower and slower. And you are right, loosing weight didn't help my mental-health. I'm at 76kg now and still feel like my 110kg self and think People make fun of me, when they compliment me and stuff. I don't had a boyfriend since the breakup 3 Years ago and even though i sometimes miss the company, i can't bring myself to trust a Guy at the moment. Especially because I'm afraid that my mental state is not yet far enough that I don't fall for the same type of man again.
Thanks for youre nice and helpfull Words and for youre Videos who make me always smile :).
Hang in there, I know you will be fine and you will achieve everything you want in life. I know you can do it. You have to believe you can do it too. It all starts in the mind and the subconscious. We can rewire our brains and change our lives. There’s so many ppl who care about you, including me and I don’t even know you. I know you are a good person. I love you.
when you find the right person that can encourage you the way you want them to.That won't treat you in that way and will love every part of you... you won't even care how long you waited for them 💜 so proud of you.
Sorry to hear. Men really can be quite a problem at times. However available data suggests that the worst tiny minority of all people, of all demographics, is at most, 1% to 5% of all of us. It is wise to stay away from dating and relationships for a while, work on yourself, heal, and learn how to spot Red Flags in future. It can be helpful to learn about how manipulative, gaslighting narcissists operate, but if you do it too much, you will make yourself overly vigilant to the point of paranoia.
It happened to one lady I knew who's only socialising was talking to victimised women, as she obsessed over Narcissism and associated Red Flags. I had to stop speaking to her eventually. Conversation the last 4 years became nearly nothing but her obsession and despising her ex and her acting like the entire world was against her.
There is a harsh truth that both toxic personalities, and their victims struggle to cope with. Nearly always, the entire world *is not* out to get them. There are 8 billion people on the planet, and 99.999999% of them will never even know they exist, never mind have a strong opinion for or against them.
Recommendations: Carol Dweck's Growth Mindset, also seeking therapy if you can access it for free or afford it. Else for advice from professionals;
Dr Tracey Marks or Mark Tyrrell of Uncommon Knowledge UK. Also, learning about Critical Thinking skills of Cognitive Biases and Logical Fallacies can be extremely useful for your own life, and society.
Eg, those of us who have been totally crushed by the worst people, are often afraid to like ourselves in case we become those who hurt us. There is only a tiny bit of overlap between having self-esteem and self-confidence, and being a toxic narcissist.
To say they are exactly the same is the logical fallacy of False Equivalence. "A chihuahua is exactly the same species as a Lion. Exactly, exactly the same. They both have a face, eyes, a nose, mouth, growl, and have four legs with claws and a tail"
Or as articulated by Simon Sinek: "Confidence is believing in yourself. Arrogance is telling others you're better than they are. Confidence inspires. Arrogance destroys"
Give yourself time! And emotional rest. Take one day at a time! Learn breathing techniques for relaxation.

Spoke to me so hard when you mentioned the mean little voice everyone has telling them "You're disgusting". 💕 I love hearing your perspective about life.
Really appreciate how you incorporated your own story into this as a way to show some personal perspective to the audience! It makes it more relatable imo. I've also been wanting to visit Japan (since I have a friend there), but it might be a little trickier since I'm vegetarian 😅
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I was nervous to tell it but I'm happy it was meaningful for you!!
So good, you add humor to serious topic, then open up about you own struggles, very brave.

@@MrsEats Thank you! Yes please do!
Agreed! Mr Eats is not that big (from my American perspective), but I would definitely support him and maybe get healthier myself by watching his journey. Already from this video I'm thinking of cutting out my junk food.
Again.
Sigh.
Agreed, please let us draw inspiration from you two!
@@ZeeboidThrok Everyone backslides. Just take it a day at a time, and don't punish or shame yourself! Direct energy forward!
Thanks for another great video! Your story was super relatable. Here in the U.S., most women struggle the way you did. I’m a very muscular (“big”) person myself, plus I love to eat, but I managed to do what you did- find a healthy balance, let go of shame/trauma, and make healthier choices. Please keep making videos! You guys are my fave Japanese channel! ❤
Yes, we love Mr. Eats. Take good care of him and keep him healthy. Looking forward to the progress he is making...😁🤗
Wishing Mr.Eats a very successful journey in getting healthy. You two are very lucky to have each other.
I would LOVE to follow Mr. Eats' journey! I also grew up at a bigger kid. I went back and forth between starving myself and binge eating until my early 20s, constantly disgusted with my own body. Because of my family history of heart disease and diabetes (combined with my low self-esteem), I started trying to be healthier, little by little, about 6 years ago. I have lost over 100lbs (45kg) so far, and I am so so close to my goal weight! I feel so much better now, and my doctor is quite pleased. I'm cheering you on, Mr. Eats! And congratulations to you, Mrs. Eats, for all that you've accomplished. Thanks for sharing your story ^_^
thank you for sharing your story about struggling with weight, having been a very chubby asian during my youth as well your story really made me emotional. And then adding in the funny skits in between really made me laugh. I love your story telling and video style! Made me subscribe :)
Mrs. Eats I really appreciate what you have said, especially about your weight loss journey. I'm still going through the same thing when you lost weight. I thought losing weight would solve my problem, but instead my mental health was something I needed to fix, also. Thank-you for giving me insight and hope on your mental and emotional journey. That you can let go is something I see myself doing, eventually.
I'd also like to see your husband's journey on his weight loss. I want to cheer for him and you (for your support). :) :) :)
That part at the end made me really sad, I really wish I could find supportive people like that. Sometimes I really hate going through so much alone.
Omg you two are really the best I love your humor and way of expressing yourself this goes to Mr eats too, you are both so nice to watch 🌹
thank you for sharing your own story. What you said about people bullying others for being overweight is so true. It's rarely helpful, if ever. It's especially damaging for children and teenagers who first need to built up their self-esteem. Your tip on staying slim by not buying unhealthy food may sound simple enough but it's spot on. It's easier to walk past it when grocery shopping than trying to resist overeating on it once you have it at home.
Loved this video! As someone who's going through some weight gain after the pandemic it's been so hard to get motivated again. I really connected with your story and really want to see your husband's progress too! I also ordered some AG 1 with your link! Can't wait to give it a try! Thanks for sharing your story and best of luck to you!
I stumbled upon this on my main page and I'm loving the charisma and chemistry of you and Mr.Eats. This content is amazing.
So nice to see Mrs Eats again! Mister Eats makes me laugh too! 😄
Thank you!! I'm happy to be back!
@@MrsEats you always make me feel happy when I watch your videos. Even when I'm feeling sad you make me smile.
My first time here on your channel and love how you and Mr. Eats help each others. Yes, my parent came from a country where you walk miles to get to where you're going. I grew up in America, where you walk to the car and drive almost every where. I was 95 lbs in high school, later on I got married and had children. I was at my heaviest 170 lbs for a 5 ft person after having 7 children and daily life stress. After health problems like you said in your video here. I started to lose weight, I'm at 125 lbs now and still losing more weight. Stay healthy and stay safe. Thank you for sharing.
To-go bags are revolutionary! I ask for one and split my food in half before I start eating in US restuarants, otherwise it's too easy to eat too much!
The sugar and sweeteners are for coffee and tea.
3:52 Actually, our saying is "eat until you have to unbutton your jeans, THEN order dessert."
Mrs. Eats. Glad to have you back!
Keep up the great work
Thank you! 🤗 I'll do my best!!
While we were in Japan last, my wife and I lost 10 lbs each. We didn't hold back at all on what we were eating, but the the combination of walking constantly and not having easily accessible things to snack on probably did most of it.
(Heehee, the sugar on tables in America is really for your coffee or tea. I don't know if anyone actually adds any to sweetened sodas, they've gotten pretty over-sweet since they switched to corn syrup mostly anyway. (Real sugar was more expensive so they didn't just dump it in like they do now. I can't even stand much of the stuff anymore. :) ) )
To-go boxes/'doggie bags' are pretty essential if you can't/don't want to eat a lot at a sitting, but actually portion sizes have been coming down cause of 'shrinkflation,' (charging the same price for less of the product to try and make it look like they aren't gouging.) But I notice cause I'm used to getting two meals out of a dinner. :)
Your personal take on this is so valuable and full of love!
Thank you for sharing your personal story. I too am on the weight management journey and the emotional ups and downs do not make it easy. I love the humor in your videos and this particular one was very inspirational. I wish Mr Eats well in his journey. It would be great to get any updates you are willing to share.
Yes! please post his and your journey to better fitness and preventing type 2 diabetes. I personally think it will give him more commitment to staying on the path to better healthy living, and will also continue to encourage you to remain strong for him.
That was amazingly brave to share that story and heartening to see how you guys are moving forward together. We're trying to do the healthy thing too, so thought we'd try the Athletic Greens. Fun fact, the New Zealand company doesn't send product to New Zealand 😂
Thank you so much!! I hope you enjoy your healthy journey! These days we drink a lot of smoothie of course with AG1! I hope you can get your hands on it soon!!
I love your videos so much. They are so funny and you and Mr. Ears are too adorable together.
This video really hit home. As a bigger person myself, I know the struggle. I’m constantly trying to lose weight and have weeks where I exercise and eat healthy then whenever depression sets in, all that goes out the window. It can be a real struggle, especially when one does not have any support.
Was just there for 10 days. Lost about 5lbs. Didn't change my diet, but everything is so convenient that I walked about 3-5miles every day without noticing or feeling exhausted. Can't wait to move there in a couple years.
Me, too!
I ❤ Americans and our values, but this country is too expensive for me 😅
This sweet video is not what I expected from the thumbnail. So pleasantly surprised and happy to have found your channel ♥️
You are both an inspiration. I know Mr. Eats will be a success in his journey to better health. I would love to not only see this as part of this channel's story, but as someone who was overweight most of my life, I hope to be an encouragement as well.
I find your content informative and encouraging, plus the humor hits my funny bone. As a formerly overweight bullied individual, I really enjoy hearing your stories and positivity.
The one thing that surprised me about living in Japan was the lack of diet soda. I don't like the full sugar options, but there was only Pepsi. You can, of course, get coffees and teas, but if you like sugar-free Monster, Pepsi, or even coke, it will be a little difficult to find. I think this might be because sodas are seen more as "snacks", whereas, in the UK and US, we think of them as drinks or drinks that accompany the meal, which means we more often go for the low sugar option (in the UK) because we are drinking them more often.
Wow, I can't imagine drinking soda everyday. I usually only drink plain water. Tea, coffee or juice once in a while, and I almost never drink soda 😮
Do you guys can even function properly, though? Doesn't soda harm your bones and kidney, at least? How much water do you usually drink? Do you even drink water? Sorry, I just can't imagine drinking anything else other than water as often as eating
@@dwi5582 I do not speak for all British people, and I would say that my consumption is way higher than the normal person. I never drink just water, I absolutely hate the taste, and even when I am very thirsty I can only manage a few sips before I get a stomach ache (I don't know what on earth that is about, but it has happened all my life). My kidneys, bloodwork, and health are absolutely fine. I have recently started drinking green tea, but again, I can only manage a couple of sips a day. I should also note, that two servings (250ml each) could easily keep me going for the whole day (if I drink green tea, I could probably have three cups). Essentially I drink a pint of liquids a day and I can't manage more than that unless it is extremely hot. My lack of liquid consumption has really freaked my friends out.
The last scene was adorable 💛
When you were younger, there was just more "you" to hug 🥰. Thank you to share your vulnerabilities with the net!
I Love you for giving me Joy and Security of my weight...😌
Korean people naturally dislike fat people...😔
Korean people think in a stereotypical traditional way as if being viewed as overweight is truly unhealthy and a horrible thing in which maybe it is true in some cases...
However, even though Korean people try to say positive things towards you, they can't help but mean the opposite of what they have meant...😕
For Example:
They say you're pretty but then say you need to lose weight because you will look even much prettier...😟
Emotional Damage 💔 😮💨
Korean people can't be satisfied with other korean peoples weight even though I'm part Korean, part Phillipino and White American.
Even if you are slightly part Korean, you as well aren't discredited to have the same fat shaming judgment of Korean people...
Korean people care but sometimes they come off the wrong way and don't realize that what they say could do harm towards a person who is already worried about their uncontrollable weight...
Being American I'm glad to have people to enforce positive reassurement to those who are struggling from Obesity...
The bits with your husband are hilarious!!! Thank you!
Yea I want to see Mr.Eats journey! Please post it!
Sugar is for unsweetened drinks, which are common with restaurant meals here. Iced tea, coffee, and tea (usually a generic black tea, but sometimes you have options) are standard drinks people often get when eating out. In the south, iced tea can be sweet tea, but it's almost never pre-sweetened up north. Salt and pepper are generally for the ubiquitous fries offered at almost every type of establishment. I can't think of when I saw someone add salt to something that wasn't potatoes of some kind.
Also, we have separate courses for what you seem to eat at once. That soup and pickles you showed would be an appetizer here.
Also, our culture isn't an issue in quite the way you think it is. Being fat does make strangers feel free to say all kinds of things to you. For more than 100 years, young white guys have had a practice of asking out fat women they consider ugly so they can then publicly humiliate them for believing them. They call it "pig parties," and there are stories about them from the WW I era to now. The difference in our culture is corporate influence, not shame or laziness.
We've generated the most wealth in the world while wages haven't kept pace with inflation or productivity for almost 50 years. Our food laws require rigorous and irrefutable scientific proof of harm to ban anything, not to prove it can be eaten. Canadian versions of the same product are often healthier. We have little public transportation and tons of urban and suburban sprawl. Commute times are an average of an hours drive, and average salaries barely cover housing. We suffer from "food deserts" with minimal access to healthy whole foods. So while competitive sports are so central to our culture that my parents both competed in different sports from their youth to their 50s and most people I know have practiced a sport at some point, most in my generation and younger haven't had the time to get and make healthy food or exercise _and_ make money. It's to a point that standing desks, under desk treadmills and ellipticals, and other tools for getting in exercise while working are gaining popularity. Unfortunately, most of us don't control our work environment enough to make use of such tools.
I just started back on my weightloss journey and this video was an amazing encouragement.....Thank you and to Mr. Eats you go!
I love these videos you make about body issues. I have very high insulin sensitivity and thyroid issues genetically so it is very easy for me to gain weight. I live a healthy lifestyle but am always thicker than I’d like. People wouldn’t really look at me and call me ‘fat’ but I look in the mirror and can only usually see my flaws. When I went to Japan as a child I was an average weight, if not a little higher, for a 12 year old girl of my size but I felt so big compared to my Japanese friends.
Your sense of humor, honesty, sweetness, and loving relationship really shows how valuable you are beyond the look of your body. Keep up the great work! ❤️
I would love to see follow up vids with Mr Eats. Also wanted to say thank you very much for sharing video. I myself in the last 13 months have lost 55lbs and like you said it comes with alll kinds of changes and things that need to be addressed, emotionally, physically, mentally and for some spiritually. To those making the change and tell Mr Eats if you mess up don't beat yourself up, just get back on that horse. Were all human and food is the hardest relationship to havewith at times.
Your personal story and your reflection on how it molded you is very inspiring. Thank you for sharing!
As an American it can be a real chore finding simple things like tea and coffee not loaded with sugar. This has been improving in recent years, but I still can't find unsweetened green tea at my local grocery store.
Its the first time I watch your video and my first tought was: what an EXTRAORDINARY WOMAN, WITH A STRONG MIND , and a Beautiful and smart soul! I dont share your experience but, I struggled with substances abuse for over 10 years and it took me at least a few years to feel happy and well. And in ours experience we had similars obstacles to overcome and goals to achive. As you say its not a short effort but a new way to live....I wish you all the succes you deserve , a lot of cool discoveries along the way, some new friends to be with you along the way, and to alway always love yourself as you are, with the strenght to improve what you like less, and to feel rich with what you love about yourself....🤗 Chantale from Montreal, Canada 🌞
I work remotely from home in the US. I've been losing weight (walking after work 7k steps) but it's hard with all the food around. I wear an Apple Watch now so It nags me to do exercise so it helps.
Yes many Japanese gained weight after lockdown and remote work became popular! We call it "Coronabutori". It mean "Fat from corona". So Japanese can easily get fat if they don't walk regularly too!
Those watches are inaccurate you should do what I do and weight yourself every 3 days to track your progress. It has been shown that those alarm systems are tuned out over time but calibrated scales do not lie.
@@southcoastinventors6583 I weigh myself regularly and I don't mind the estimate. Overeating and not enough exercise is my problem.
@@madmerlot841 Yeah you usually cannot exercise your way out of a bad diet. I just use food substitution and try to eat fiber with every food I eat to lower absorption also no soda, juice or other sweeten drink just water, coffee or non sweeten tea. Also I did gradual changes.
@MadMerlot Apple Watch user supporter here! 👋🏾
It definitely helps, if you’re willing to work with it. A mile & a half to work every day, with all the useful metrics at hand. I love it!
👊!!! Good Morning Mrs & Mr Eats! Thanks for sharing you personal stories, nicely done. You have no idea how important your words at the
end mean to me. “Kindness, Compassion and Encouragement”. & “We have a long way to go, but I can start with ME, and the people I LOVE.”
❤️😎🙏🏻 Thank You!!!
EXIT 13!!! Thank you so much for generuos super chat!! 😭😭😭 How are you??
I'm so happy this video could make you feel touched!! Yes we can always start with ourself and our loved ones!! I hope you have great week!!
@@MrsEats Hello Mrs Eats, all is well. Thanks for asking. 😊 I hope both of you realize how much your sense of humor, and perspective brings happiness and joy to so many of your YT Fan’s! Mr Eats Slim Jim ‘compliment’ was so funny! 🤭🇯🇵❤️
I'm so happy our content mean a lot to you! We really try to make the best video we can so we're happy that it can reach you!! Oh you know Slim Jim! In Japan we have it too but we call it "Calpas". But Mr. Eats always say "Slim Jim" when he sees it. It's very confusing to me sometimes haha!!
@@MrsEats LOL! Mr Eats is imitating a TV commercial of US Pro Wrestler Randy ‘MACHO MAN’ Savage from the ‘90s. His impersonation is perfect, so funny! 👏👊
Thank you for sharing your past experiences and struggles. It’s encouraging to know I’m not alone! I would love to see future updates about Mr. Eats and his progress. 🎉
You and Mr. Eats are my favorite UA-cam couple!
Just found this channel. SO FUNNY!!!! Absolutely love it!
One thing I've been seeing lately in Japan is workout equipment in parks. I think that's a fantastic idea and wish they had that in America. Morning exercise programs outdoors played over speaker system would be great also.
they do have that here in america just not everywhere and alot of people dont really use it but theyshould
Mr Eats. You da MAN! Love the humor in the video 😂
The sugar on the table is to use if you order coffee. I don’t know of anyone putting it in their soda. There may be someone out there but it’s not commonly done.
My sentiment too. I found that a bit cringe.
Definitely interested in seeing your husband's journey with your positive attitude. I myself am eating healthier and want to make it sustainable. Your video encourages me, thank you very much.
Absolutely loved the combination of scientific facts & humour, both were well done. Great message too.
fatshaming causes symptoms like overweight to get worse, it makes people feel bad and they go eat their feelings. i'm glad you're pushing for better handling of the issue. ♥
Mrs. Eats, you do very informative videos. And Mr. Eats is hilarious! Good job, guys.
Your videos are so entertaining! Cute. Funny! You take an interesting and serious topic and make it engaging. I appreciate your conscientiousness. You and your husband are beautiful people! Thank you for sharing ❤
8:42 just made me literally laugh out loud - you are awesome! and adorably funny 😂. also i really identified with and loved when you said "another thing I realized that I've got to make the Healthy Choice easy and a bad choice harder - if I keep junk food in the house it's only a matter of time before I dig into the box of chips and stuff"
SO TRUE! and very helpful and actionable advice!!
good luck to Mr Eats on his health journey and i will be staying tuned to your channel! it's so refreshing and makes me truly smile to see such a healthy and wonderful couple as The Eats are 😍
last thing! your story hits very close to home for me and i was overweight until i went to university basically and hearing your story truly makes me feel your struggle and i never would have realized that on the other side of the world someone was going through the exact same thing as me in a completely foreign country and culture. i was not shamed quite to the degree in the way you seem to have been by others ( just by myself as you also mentioned), but i know many people who have been unfortunately. No matter who or where you are we all have the same struggles it seems and i'm so glad you have found the path to being happy and comfortable in your own skin 😄
I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE INSULIN! Thanks for teaching me something I never even thought of!
Yes! Please do a series with Mr. Eats!
I have my own story to tell, relevant to the conversation, perhaps. I had the opposite problem of struggling with my weight. I simply . . . wasn't hungry, and I could eat very little and still feel full. Like, I venture I probably could have gone full days without eating if I didn't remind myself to. I was often eating out of obligation rather than because I was hungry. Because of this, I was always skinny, at least, by US standards. I had lots of medical trouble spring up that caused me to eat less and less. I was underweight for a large chunk of my life. And whenever my depression hit, I wouldn't feel like eating at all.
I'm considered overweight now because I'm finally able to eat food. Because I'm finally feeling hungry sometimes (I still find myself having to eat out of obligation though. My body doesn't always send hunger signals when it should and learning to listen to signals I haven't listened to in many years is a process). My medical troubles have not gone away fully but at least my stomach's in a relatively good place.
Physically, this is the best I've felt in a long time, even though I am still disabled and in chronic pain. So to me, being overweight feels fine. But it's the judgment of society and of other people in my life that make it feel not fine. I was constantly getting the message I looked great when I was underweight and sick. But now that I'm eating actually well and feeling better overall, I'm getting the message that I don't look as good as I used to. So I feel that people still associate health with weight but keep forgetting that being underweight comes with its own very significant health problems.
If you're underweight or overweight and reading this, I guess my point is, live your life for you. If you want to get to a healthy weight for you, that's your call, and no one else's. You are fantastic and lovable no matter what. I hope you have a great day.
Great video @Mrs. Eats!!! Thank you for sharing your story!! 🙂
Every time I go out to eat, I know that meal may end up being three meals for me. So yes, the portions are massive, but there's no law saying you have to eat it all in one sitting. My husband used to gorge and clean his plate. After he hit thirty he announced that it wasn't fun being overfull anymore and started splitting his meals as well.
Now it's expensive to go out, but it's not so bad when you know that you're actually getting two nice dinners.
And no. We will NEVER share. Nobody touches my food. It's MINE. (And he had siblings. He doesn't split evenly.)
You two are just relationship goals!😍
Mr. Eats’ “What?” just cracks me up. He indeed the Chosen One.
Very motivational sharing your personal journey, glad you found your happy space
Wonderful words of encouragement that are so helpful because they emerge from your personal experience and self-reflection.
You two are amazing Mrs and Mr Eats. Love your channel and can’t wait to get over to Japan and visit
I have Type-2 Diabetes, the Keto Diet is ideal and you can figure out what kind of Keto Diet works best for you (Super Clean, Clean, Semi Clean, Vegan, Vegetarian, etc)
Also they have many keto options now! Like Keto Ice Cream (Rebel or some Halo Top), even affordable Keto bread (Sara Lee Delightful/white, not wheat!), Keto Noodles ("miracle noodles" and other brands/types), Keto Pastries of all sorts and chocolates/candy, etc
Also there are sweeteners, such as Pyure Sweetener which I swear by! And they keto powdered sugar!
So you can be creative and use keto bread to make safe and healthy French Toast!
*However be warned:* The first 1-2 months of Keto SUCK!! It takes a little while for your body to adjust and to get rid of all the bad stuff and start using the fat that your body has stored up instead :-3
But eventually your body will adjust and even start craving those yummy foods (oh also they have keto chips even! X-3 So yummy)
Tip when starting out: GET RID OF EVERYTHING IN YOUR HOME THAT HAS TOO MANY (net) CARBS!!! As you know those can be a huge problem and temptation!
*Personal Experience:* I used to be 260 borderline Diabetic Type-2, but now I'm 200, going for 190lb ! And that's without exercise! (tho I do like to, I just don't always have the time to walk all day at the mall, 5-10 miles)
Fyi - I do 'Semi-Clean' Keto, since I'll still enjoy Diet Sodas and processed foods (usually meat) - it's yummy and I just don't have the funds to keep it clean and my sanity at the same time.
Also called the acetone diet
Thank you for sharing your story about your personal body image issues. I'm sorry you had to endure such things growing up.
In USA the sugar packs on the table are for tea or coffee. The tea is often very very strong if you order iced tea that THEY made. You may need to add more water as well to dilute it. Hot tea is a cup of water with a tea bag on the side. If you order a cup of coffee it comes with a very small single container of cream & the coffee is likely so strong brewed so you may need either the sugar or to pour some water in to dilute it.
This channel is hilarious AND informative.
Beautiful story. Thanks for sharing!!💛💛💛🍒🍒
The way Japanese eat is one of the reasons I want to visit Japan. I love how meals are served so small. The US serves wayyy too much food! Especially in the south. Southerners like to make sure their family and guests get plenty. It's also rude to not clean your plate. As for the sugar on the tables in US restaurants that isn't to make our soda sweeter.....I mean people could use it for that if they want lol....but the sugar is for coffee, or tea. Within the last two years I have trained myself to not put sugar in my green tea.....If I do want a little sweetness, I eat a cookie with my tea.
I really enjoy your videos. You and Mr. Eats are such an adorable couple! Please do follow up videos on his journey to get healthy with you. God bless you both!
I actually ended up gaining weight due to some of the stress anxiety and isolation, especially during the pandemic. But it would have probably been worse if the same things happened while living in America and im getting help to loose the weight now.
I freaking love you guys
❤❤ Oh my, this has to be your best video ever. So funny with a great message. Thank you Mrs Eats. I know you can help and support Mr. Eats on his journey. I would enjoy videos on that. Perhaps a daily surprise Kancho will keep him on his toes and keep him moving. 😂 Love to you both.
All of that looks so good. 😊
Mr eats in this had me laughing out loud at 2am in a quiet house lol... I swear this had me laughing and also made me feel bad for you... Its a shame people fat shame.. Thank you for creating and sharing this with us..
One of your best videos! Thanks Mrs Eats - and Mr Eats too!!
Its been a while since I watched Mrs. Eats...Nice!
You and Mr. Eats are such a cute and loving couple! 🥰
Oooh my goodness i learned a lot from this video, so many things make sense now
I love your humor BTW!
3:00 the sugar is for water, some people ask for lemon, and make lemonade.
Oh yes please make the follow-up video of his journey! ☺️
Mrs.Eats you are supper funny,compassionate,and a wonderful person all in one package.I too was enormous at 300kg but now I am much leaner.
Sugar on the table is for coffee, tea and iced tea
Yes! Please make Mr. Eats weight loss videos. Mr. Eats is about the same age as I am, and recently weight gain has been catching up with me and showing up as high blood pressure and sleep apnea. It would be interesting to see how Mr. Eats loses weight and what kinds of foods he eats. I'm looking for new ideas to manage my diet.
