    As an interpreter/translator let me say- 2 hours to translate a full video script from Japanese to English is pretty good, nice job!! It's clear from your finished videos that you're not just translating word for word, and you're also not just jumping on the very first translation you come up with. You're sifting through multiple options and variations of words and expressions, and coming up with the most natural and conversational way of expressing what you want to say in English. If you keep going about it as diligently as you are, I think you can safely stop worrying about whether you'll make yourself understood. Great stuff! (Btw, I hate mornings and I eat the most at dinner. I wish it weren't so, though!)

      If I ate 2050calories in a day I'd be fat. I have to stick to 1200calories and do aerobic exercise (jogging and biking) in order to stay a decent shape. Last winter because of COVID-19, I didn't go to the gym all winter and my calories eaten/day crept up to 1500. Consequently I gained 10lbs! I'm 5'4" which would be slightly tall for a Japanese woman. Genetics is definitely at play here! That said, pretty sure many Americans regularly eat more than 2050calories per day. Bottom line - don't make excuses, but also don't beat yourself up if you can't "eat like a Japanese woman" and lose weight.

    When I visited Japan, I opted to eat what was advertised as the traditional Japanese breakfast: small piece of fish, small bowl of rice, miso soup, and a couple varieties of vegetables (usually fermented). Since I'm not Japanese, I don't know for sure if this is what's common for breakfast in Japan, but it was wonderful! I felt full and energized, allowing me to walk and tour Japan's gardens and temples the entire day without finding the need to snack - and I was in my second trimester of pregnancy! It's been more than a year since that trip, but I have incorporated fish and fermented foods into my breakfast. At times I try to recreate what I had in its entirety, because I do think that the combo of fermented foods, high quality protein, veggies, and small portion of carbs is great for consistent energy levels throughout the day.

      It's good to remember though that Asian people, especially in Japan, naturally don't make as much insulin as Caucasian people so they arn't able to store as much fat as we do. Which is a big reason they are generally slim, though it does mean they are more at risk for diabetes at a much lower weight. Keep it up! But remember that they can generally eat more than us.

    here in the UK (and many Western countries) we often have unhealthy breakfasts, overly sweet cereals which just give you a temporary sugar high or too much starchy white bread or even both - I struggle to imagine eating rice or vegetables for breakfast as its such a strange concept for me at the present time, but I can see that it is much healthier and probably offers a slow release of nutrition and energy instead of the sugar high and resulting sugar crash later in the morning which is not good - I also have the bad habit of snacking on sweet and unhealthy foods, which give a brief burst of sugary energy and then yet another sugar crash - it's no wonder people can have mood swings during the day! - it's so hard to beat the sugar cravings also

      I have English heritage so I understand the difficulties changing the cultural norms around breakie. When I first started I switched to wholemeal bread for toast and had had one slice with banana and honey/jam. Warmed berries and a drop of yoghet on wholemeal toast. Instead of the sugary cereal I switched to heating fruits like apple and pear in honey in a pot adding 1/2 a serve of oats and strewing that till cooked. Then started getting creative with the non sweat breakfast, like focusing on one element of a big breakfast to put it on a smaller scale.

I find English diet recipes so bland and boring that I just lost my desire to cook. I have since been experimenting with Asian food after discovering Liziqi, Penji and Hamzy. Kimchi and anything with Gochojang soybean paste is just delicious. I have been researching Japanese breakfasts as I can’t stomach cereals, breads and sugar anymore. I am slowly building up confidence to make a traditional Japanese breakfast of rice, salmon or egg roll, miso soup and pickled veg but I am worried I’ll get the miso soup wrong. There is so much to remember. Lid on. Miso last. Dashi. I adore your culture and your food and even though it’s just for me and my family to eat, I feel I must do it justice.
