    I lived in Japan for two years, and the locals always told me that they ate using the 80% rule. eat until you feel 80% full, and stop. you will feel full later, without feeling stuffed.

They usually just say it as a joke and they don’t really “overfeed” me, my family does eat a lot our favorite thing is probably food but since I don’t eat as much as my siblings or other family members they push me to eat a little more just so they know I’m not starving myself

    1. Drink tea or water, not soda
    2. Smaller portions, and use chopsticks to grab smaller portions of food
    3. No frozen ready meals / fast food - eat freshly cooked food
    4. No snacks, eat three wholesome meals
    5. Mealtime is mealtime, focus on the food, without distractions to avoid overeating
    6. Eating soups is common, fills you up quickly and has less calories
    7. Eat fermented foods
    8. Desserts are nutricious, like fruits, or soup...no chocolate or icecream
    9. Fruit, herbs and spices are used as medicine

    For tip no. 1 she means unsweetened tea. And hot not iced tea. Whenever I go to America and ask for some herbal tea, I usually get iced tea with lots and lots of sugar, which is just as bad as soft drinks.

    My dear dad(lived well into his late 80s) ate small amount of anything he wanted when he was hungry, drank shot and a beer almost everyday. Slept 3-4 hours only BUT walked everywhere(never had a car) I grew up in the inner city. He was never really sick. Got out and talked to people everyday. He died with only enough money to bury him. He was a very simple man. Loved life! Anyway...thanks for the video. I do believe the keys to slimness is moving everyday. And eating only until full.
    Peace to all!❤️

    I lived in Japan for 1 year and Korea for 4 years, and many people (mostly women) practice restrictive eating habits, or have EDs. There is a lot of pressure to be thin. I taught at an all girls high school and many of my students did all types of fad diets and were thin, but were not healthy at all.

      It is true. I think East Asian society discriminates against overweight women. That's why society has pressure on ALL girls/women to stay thin. You are probably never able to find a job if you are obese. This is how East Asia see women. It's all about body image and looks rather than "healthy".

Society might not be putting pressure on all girls and women in East Asia, because they might like to keep themselves clean and healthy, so it's common to find fit, healthy, and clean women there.
      I think it's very true that if you are obese, it will be hard for you to find a job. That might be because people will think that if you're not fit and healthy, then this can mean that you don't look after your health. They might think that if you don't care about your health, you won't perform your job well. I also agree with you on the fact that society pressures some girls and women.

      Ngl when I first found out I was really excited because "omg yummy food!" 😂
      But now I understand that the "boring" school food in Russian was not that boring after all
      Some stuff i remember from school are, hard boiled eggs, porridge, buckwheat, rice, chicken, fish. Also for luch there was always a soup option. For drink there would usually be tea, or some kind of drink made out of dried fruit i don't know the name of.
      Another thing I noticed, there are so many places to go out to eat, and going out to eat is like a normal thing here, where as in Russia people usually go out to eat only on special occasions.
      And my favorite food in US, I really don't know
      I guess peanut butter
      When i lived in Russia I never seen peanut butter there. Maybe there is now

      Sveva If you look at "American pizza" it has a ton of meat and cheese on it. Some even gush huge amounts of olive oil on the pizza. There is no fresh mozzarella, no fresh basil and the tomato sauce sometimes is canned and not fresh. A typical Italian pizza with only the "basic" ingredients of pizza dough, tomato sauce, few slices of mozzarella and fresh barsli is about 1/3 to half of the calories of a common pizza in America. Americans also have huge portion sizes or eat a whole pizza by themselves while in Italy one pizza is often shared among family and friends...

      Same here. No one in my fam is Filipino, but I eventually had to start snatching my plate from them and getting my own food. They’d put so much food on my plate, it all spilled when I took a bite. And they get mad at me when I don’t finish. LOL

    She is absolutely right. My just 35 days visit to Vancouver changed my body. I didn't indulge my self with attractive new food options there, rather I opted for healthier options like avocados, almond milk, quinoa stuff like that which are expensive in my country and daily(almost) 1 hour walk. With 20 mins dumbbell workout. I had lost 4 kgs with a good number of inches.

      I must shop with a back pack and it's absolutely awful. ^^ Wanting a watermelon in the summer? Hell this is going to hurt my back. Picking a pack of rice and some vegetabeles and fruits and it is full. No chance to shop for more than one ore two days. Super stressful and after walking home and carrying them to the 4th floor my shoulders hurt so much. And yet I am not skinny.
      When I am shopping groceries with my boyfriend on weekends with his car, I do not need to think twice if or how I can carry them bananas home, especially without squashing them. So much easier and I am picking much more fresh stuff.

      I know sometimes I have to make 2 trips for groceries. LOL I do use the car when it is dog food and cat litter time. If it is not worth me spending the extra time walking there and back (be it that day or a different one) vs driving then do I need it that badly? That has kept me from some not so great decisions. Sometimes it is a pain but it is worth it for me. I even recruit the daughter once in a while. It is one of the few times that I do get some alone time to relax.

    2) Eat Rice but only once
    3) eat twice a day only. Thrice max
    4) stop eating after 6-7pm. (4-5 hour before your normal bedtime) If you are really hungry after that fill your stomoch with water to quiet you're grumbling stomoch, or eat some veggies at night..
    5) No excercise neccessary but active lifestyle is a must

    Best way to loose weight , is always eat your veggies first before your main

    I have an Asian dad and a Puerto Rican mom..
    My dad: doesn’t make anything and barely eats like me
    My mom on the other hand: cooks empanadas, plátanos, eggs, toast, and more and then asks us what we want for lunch 😂

    well, i usually like to stop eating before i feel full, but that means that I'll leave at least some food and my parents

    I'm Asian and was born with high fast metabolism which runs in my family from my mom and I can't gain weight. Sadly. I get hungry easily. Literally a walking stick and get made fun of. :c Still trying to embrace that because I've been told I'll lose it and it'll slow down as I get older.

      yep, like that comment. Wow, how your mom gets that metabolism? give me some tips, i'm not asian but really, hope other life i'll be lmao😙😉❤

    • @MyLoneKingdom

      nina loves yoongi Runs in genes from my mom's mom (which is my grandma). You don't have to be Asian to have high fast metabolism. I've met other people who aren't Asian and they have it or they're naturally petite/thin (whatever you wanna call it). So don't worry about it. ☺ Just eat healthy, exercise and drink water.
