★WHAT I EAT IN A DAY★& MY DAILY ACTIBITIES TO STAY SLIM AND HEALTHY (EP204)

Today, I want to share with you, what I eat in a day.

This topic is requested one, some of you have been asking. 

I eat a lot, more than you think

As you know, I am in a food industry for 17 years, I have a lot of opportunity to taste foods, more than a people. 

Developing new recipes are fun, but you have to taste it again and again until you are happy with it.

I am sure that I eat more than you. Lol.

People asking me how I can stay slim and healthy while eating such a lot of food?

I am in the same size for more than 30 years.

I weigh 52 kg, 5.5 feet. These numbers haven’t change for more than 30 years. 

But to tell you the truth, I had trouble with eating habit when I was young, I was on a diet, all the time, because young girls supposed to be thin, didn’t know we are already thin!

To tell you the truth, I had trouble with eating habit…

It was late 80’s when I was a teenager, and the fat is considered as bad for your health, and we avoid taking it to stay slim.

I ate low fat food and I took low cal sugar substiture anytime I find it.

I was a firm believer in “low-calorie-diet-myth.” 

I believed as less cal as I take in a day, I would be thinner and healthier for a long time.

These days, I was always hungry and always thinking about food.

Butter Coffee

But when I read this book, The Bulletproof Diet by Dave Asprey, it literally blew my mind. What? High-fat diet? 50 to 70 % of calories from fat?

I couldn’t believe it because it’s completely out of mind because it was on the opposite side of my diet. 

But I was convinced of one of his logic “your brain is made of fat, so we should take more fat to be more creative and productive.”

And I start taking butter coffee in a morning, and its continuing for more than 5 years.

What I appreciate about butter coffee is, I am free from the hunger until lunch time.

I can concentrate on my job, and so productive ever! 

I haven’t change any of my food intake, other than butter coffee.

I am on hybrid Diet

Because eating huge steak, or chicken without eating carb is not realistic in Japanese diet.

I am on a hybrid of Bulletproof diet and Japanese diet. 

My daily activities & My daily meal

Let’s take a close look at my life from the aspect of food and daily activities.

6am: Cook Bento and Breakfast

My day start on 6 in the morning, to make my son’s bento and breakfast.

7:00 Feed my cat Alex

And I feed my cat Alex. He walk around me while I am in the kitchen, sometimes, interrupting me by jumping up on the table.

House keeping jobs

When my son leave for school, I do the laundry.

My son is on the baseball team, so I have a lot of dirty uniform every day. 

I used to hate the laundry, but now, I appreciate it as I can feel I am spending a normal life like before the pandemic.

7:30 Butter coffee

While the washing machine running I take butter coffee and makeup. It takes less than 5 mins because I don’t make up bottom half of my face for wearing a face mask. Lol.

8:00 Clean the house and quick exercise

And then, I clean the house and do a short but effective excise. I believe a little goes a long way! 

After that, I start working at home.

8:30~12:00 Work from home

It’s usually, developing new recipes for my customer, shooting videos and writing script.

Around 11:30 to 12:00, I eat lunch.

12:00 Lunch

My lunch is like this.

Looks like breakfast. Lol.

I have been stop eating breakfast for 5 years but I still want to eat breakfast.

That’s my kind of meal!

And then, I go back to work!

4:00pm Coffee Break

And around 4 o’clock, I take a break.

When you work from home, we need something to cheer up for the rest of the day to keep our productivity.

I eat something sweet almost everyday with a cup of coffee, or tea depend on the mood.

And then I work for a couple of hours, and then, start preparing dinner.

7:00pm Dinner

Japanese typical dinner is like this. 

I like to eat real food, which brings us nutrients and satisfaction.

What do you think of my everyday meal and daily activities?

I hope it doesn’t bored you. Lol.

I almost forgot to tell you how I keep myself hydrated.

I don’t drink water so much but green tea, roasted green tea or wheat tea. We can take vitamins and minerals from these tea.

I have so many varieties of tea and coffee to choose from.

Alright, that’s my version of what I eat in a day video!

I hope the video is giving you a tip to improve your diet somehow. 

And I hope my cooking videos are helpful for our life is changing after the pandemic. We can’t go out for dinner for a while, but still we can make food what we want at home!

Please leave the comment if you have any questions. 

I am not a strong believer of intermittent fasting, but this eating style works for me to stay comfortable.
