the “Tabeyase” diet

I am on a diet for rock climbing. I’ve done a lot of exercise, for example climbing mountains, running, hill running, rock climbing, cycling swimming, and so on, but I didn’t lose any weight. So I thought it’s necessary to change my eating habits. Actually, I like foods which aren’t good for diet for example, Tori-no-kara-age (fried chicken), Tonkatsu (deep fried breaded pork). Rahmen, Gyohza, mayonnaise and so on. Because of this, I decided to start diet, but I don’t want to hard meal restriction. So I looked for an undemanding method and discovered the “Tabeyase” diet method. “Tabe” means “eat” and “yase” means “be slim”. “Tabeyase” means eating good meals to be slim.

Generally, diet methods require you to eat low-calorie diet, but the Tabeyase method tells you to choose fat-burning food. For example, beef and pork are better than chicken which is often considered to be suitable for dieting. And the method says that “pure oils” like linseed and perilla is good, too. I don’t know why they are good, but according to the Tabeyase method, they have a laxative effect. In addition, the method tells you to eat food in its original form. Steak is better than hamburger steak and rice is better than bread. So I began to eat onigiri between meals in exchange for bread and sandwiches.

It has been about a month since I started Tabeyase dieting. My weight hasn’t decreased yet, but I’m feeling good. It is often said that you need about three months until any effects are seen in any diet methods, so I must wait and see. However, there are a lot of temptations. Last day, my uncle had a party at his home and my relatives from Tokyo came. The main dish was Takoyaki. Takoyaki’s ingredient is flour which isn’t suitable for Tabeyase. And I really like eating Takoyaki with a lot of sauce and mayonnaise. However this time I wanted to stick to the diet, so I cut out the mayonnaise. Surprisingly, Takoyaki without mayo is good and simple.

Basically, I don’t know whether the Tabeyase Method is scientifically true or not, but think it is not bad for dieting and health. My current weight is 73 kg and my target weight is 63kg. I have a long way to go, but I believe that someday I will go all the way, if I continue mountaineering, running and the Tabeyase diet.
