3 Things You Should Do When You Do a Diet

Did you do a diet? Of course, I did right ways of diet and wrong ways. In this post, I introduced the three ways of diet which were right and effective when I did a diet. If you are interested in this post, let’s try them. J

1. Moderation in eating

     Have you eat only apples or eggs for your diet? These two things were famous a little while ago, but these were wrong ways. As to diet, losing weight healthily is very important, because eating biased nutrition cause all kind of illness for dropping the immunity and putting the weight back on. However moderation in eating is good, because you can take all nutrition thoroughly and need not to worry about eating too much. If you can continue the way, you can lose your weight healthily and eliminate eating too much for your stomach getting used to moderation in eating.

2. Drinking water instead of juice

     Juice is very delicious, isn’t it? However, it is an enemy for diet. Juice has lots of sugar which we don’t need. Of course, sugar content is very important for our brain, but it is taken in through every meal, so sugar in juice is useless! On the other hand, drinking water is good for your diet and health. It makes the body to lose weight for keeping away constipation and stimulating a rapid metabolism.

3. Do moderate exercise

     Exercise is important for your health and diet. For diet, 有酸素運動(the exercise which use oxygen, which connect the fat and take it off.) is better than 無酸素運動(the exercise which don’t use oxygen so much.). Kinds of有酸素運動 are walking, jogging and so on. Please check it!

       In last post, I introduced the good ways of diet. I did these ways and could lose weight! Possibly these three ways may not work with the individual, but these are so easy. If you are OK, please try them. Thank you for your reading. J

Summer or Winter

      Which do you like better, summer and winter? Do you like looking fireworks in summer festival? Do you like eating nabe with many people at a kotatsu? In this post, I will compare summer and winter in food, attraction and diet.

1.    Food

      How many Japanese summer food and winter food menus do you know? In summer, there are Ikayaki, yakisoba, takoyaki, kakigori, and crepe at summer festival, and soumen, hiyajiru (cold miso-soup) and grilled eels at home. In winter, there are mizu-taki, oyster’s dote-nabe, ton-jiru, osechi (New Year’s special dish), ozouni (New Year’s special dish). In this post, summer menu has 8 kinds, winter menu has 5 kinds, so summer won! There are more summer menus! Eat delicious dishes and get over summer!!

2.    Attractions

      Enjoyable attractions are in summer. Summer festivals, fireworks, beaches, summer long vacation!! In winter, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s day. Winter’s events are a little bit ceremonious except for Christmas. So in attractions, summer won, too.

3.  Diet

       People say it is easy to grow fat in winter, but it is not true.　If you don’t go out in winter, you will be fat, but you like to go out and get excercise even if in winter, you can reduce your weight smoothly, because in winter, you use more energy than in summer. So in diet, winter wins!!

      In this post, I compared summer and winter, and summer won the game by a score of 2-1. I like winter better, but in writing this, I knew how to enjoy summer, so I will enjoy summer this year! If there is something helpful in this post, I’m glad.

3 menus which men like

Have you ever cooked dishes for your lover? Did you cook them good? I like cooking and cook almost every day, so know points to cook better! If this post is useful for you, I’m glad.

     1.   Tamago-yaki (omelet Japanese style)

This dish is very very easy, but I think this has basis of cooking. Many people mix egg, salt, and sugar (each family has their own taste.). However, I recommend Aji-no-moto! You don’t need salt and sugar, only Aji-no-moto (but, if you like the sweet one, I don’t recommend this.)! Aji-no-moto includes broth of fish and enough salt for cooking Tamago-yaki, and adds good flavor. Aji-no-moto is one tablespoonful per two eggs. In addition, there are so many tamago-yaki recipes, so please find your favorite recipe and try cooking!

2.   Hoiru-yaki(wrapped fish or chicken with onion and mushrooms)

This dish is very good for a person who is a bit fat. It is a filling substantial meal. White meat and white fish is good. After cutting meat or fish and vegetables (onion, shimeji or enoki mushrooms and vegetables you like), wrap them and a little salt and pepper in aluminum foil and fry for 15 minutes. You can enjoy the taste of ingredients. If you want to season stronger, I recommend ポン酢(sauce containing soy sauce and vinegar). There are many recipes of Hoiru-yaki. they are cooked with different ingredients, combine some ingredients and cook your original Hoiru-yaki.

3.   Chirashi-zushi

This dish is pleasant to the eye. You think the ingredients of this dish are a little bit expensive, don’t you? That is not true! If you are careful about colors of ingredients, you can cook this in low cost. At first, make ingredients for chirashi-zushi!Cut ingredients (carrot, bamboo shoot, deep-fried bean curd) and boil them with soy sauce, sweet sake, and sugar. After soaking taste into ingredients, let them cool.  Next, string peas and boil them and cut them.  After that, let cooked rice cool by putting them in a bowl. Second, make vinegar for sushi. You mix vinegar and sugar and salt in a ratio of 3 : 2 : 1. This ratio is good for chirashi-zushi! If you cook temaki-zushi, you should decrease sugar for enjoying the taste of fish. Next, mix eggs and fry them thin and cut them into thin sticks. After that, mix cool rice and vinegar, and add vegetables. In the end, scatter peas and fried egg beautifully. This dish takes little bit long time, but if you can cook it deliciously, your lover will be happy. :) If you want to try other recipes, please click here!

I introduced 3 menus men like in this post, but these 3 menus are those which my boyfriend likes. I hadn’t cooked for my lovers until I met him, so I didn’t know what dish men like and didn’t like cooking. However, as I cooked for him, I found cooking is fun and my cooking skill became better. I am really happy when I look at the empty plate after his eating. So, if you didn’t like cooking, wouldn’t you like to begin to cook for someone you love? J

About Otoya!

 Don’t you think it is important to eat healthy food in good atmosphere to be in good health. In this post, I will introduce Otoya I love. They serve their dishes in cheap price. Many Otoya restaurants are located in Japan, but I like Otoya of Hiro town in Kure city. It has good meals, hard feeling against ingredients. After reading this post, you will want to go Otoya.

For any restaurants, meals are the most important element. Otoya has great meals, but I especially like deep-fried chicken with source containing soy sauce and orange juice. It cost 600 yen in a single. In set meal, it cost 780 yen with rice, miso soup, and pickled　vegetable. It tastes nice from orange source and chicken.J  In addition, there are so many nice meals! Please find your favorite dish!

Next, I want to introduce ingredients. Otoya　use no artificial　ingredients. In addition, they cook each dish after receiving orders, because they want customers to eat dishes relieved and to enjoy good taste. Particularly, they have special thought for meat. They use beef and pork which grew up in safe area and were imported safely. In addtion, they care about other things. please check this.

Finally, I will introduce the wonderful atmosphere of Otoya in Hiro town. Otoya has similar atmosphere, for example the relaxing sofa, the dark lightning, simple decorating. However, in addition, my favorite Otoya separates some seats as a private room, so you can enjoy meals without worrying about other people. Hiroshima has many other Otoya, so please try to find your favorite Otoya.

I introduced some good thing of Otoya in this post. In present, many fast food restaurants and convenience stores are located everywhere, and many people use them everyday. However, their foods have many artificial ingredients, so if you want to have a little healthy meal, I recommend this restaurant.

How to Enjoy Spring

Spring is almost over in this year. How did you spend your spring time?　Did you enjoy the cherry blossom?  You might be busy job hunting instead of enjoying spring time?  Now, I will suggest how to spend spring time. If you want to enjoy the next spring and refer to my page, I will be glad about it.  

     First, I want to introduce about good places for sightseeing cherry blossom in Japan. Japan has many famous places for enjoying cherry blossom. If you want to see cherry blossoms in Hiroshima, please check this website! In addition, if you have time to spare, you can enjoy cherry blossom outside of Hiroshima.
