Losing Weight A few years ago, I was told that I had been high levels of fat in the blood. this was why I tried to lose weight. I began to go walking. I changed walking to jogging after that -- I still love jogging. At the same time, I considered cutting calorie down. thinking of that time, walking and jogging are less effective than fat control for losing weight. Currently I suppose exercises are auxiliary ways to me. I used to eat steamed vegitables in that time. Especially, a carrot, a radish and a broccoli are easy to eat a lot because of those low in fat. I made those so frequently that my wife hate the steamed for a certain period of time. (^^; Thanks to taking care, I succeeded to lose weight about 10kg. If anyone get worried about weight, I will suggest they may consider foods.

I hate to disagree with you on this issue. Exercising is the other component of losing weight. Getting on the scales to see how heavy is not a good way to see if you are losing fat. It can be you are muscle weight and that is no good. Exercise is the only way to build or maintain muscle weight. You need to exercise regularly! There is no medication to get rid of triglycerides except to exercise and food intake. The biggest problem for us Asians is eating rice. Eating too much rice and lack of exercise is the greatest contributor. There is also the problem of sugar intake. Sugar is used in a lot of processed foods. You just don't see it. If you limit your intake of process foods such as breads and pasta, you will do fine. For supplements take bran husks (husks from wheat) and flex seed meal (not flax seeds) daily. It will help rid of excess triglycerides and cholesterol. Eating steamed vegetables are great and not everyone can handle eating such bland rabbit food. More importantly eat a well balanced meal (easy said than done) and in MODERATION. Studies also shown that taking huge doses of Niacin helps too.

I jog about 3 miles everyday because I love to eat!!!!

1. Or you can just say, "I was told my triglyerides and cholesterol levels were high".

@Daniel Thank you very much for suggestion. I'm glad to be teach some idea. I even have studied Glycemic Index but forgot it until when you told. I will consider meals and other point. Thank you again.

@blathering @Jeff Thank you for your suggestion. I agree with you, and I eat some vegetables as many as I can. After I wrote this note, I exercised weight-train. so now I have a sore muscle. (^^; Thank you again.

@emirek Thank you for your introduction. I downloaded it but I couldn't watch yet. I will watch it in this weekend. Thank you again.

I'm a strange person really, and one of my most fulfilling hobbies is nutrition and physical conditioning! Here are some basic pointers: - Aim to lose body fat, NOT weight. Muscle is more dense than fat. Muscle is also metabolically active (muscles burn calories, even if you're just sitting still!). - Weight-train and strength-train. Lift Heavy weights (squats, deadlift, bench press) 3 times a week with a rest day or two in between. Don't do too many reps, and train to failure. - Do NOT lower your fats intake. Japanese people (I believe!) eat a lot of very healthy fats from fish oils and so on, so keep doing it! You want to have the following nutritional profile: 40% proteins (lean meats, egg whites etc) 30% carbohydrates (whole-grain rice/pasta/bread, sweet potato, fruit) 30% fats (egg yolks, fish oils) Strangely, eating Essential Fatty Acids helps to promote body-fat loss. - Be careful of sugary foods and high 'Glycemic Index' foods. (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/グリセミック指数) Try to eat 6 or 7 smaller meals every day to keep your metabolism running fast! Eating with that habit and sticking to Low-GI foods also helps to keep you mentally alert and sharp throughout the day. It also improves your mood and many other wonderful things! - twice a week do some High Intensity Interval Training (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIIT) for 20 mins. This will raise your heart rate and promote constant fat loss. You seem to have a good understanding of it already, but I hope this helps to reinforce your knowledge :) Ganbatte!
