After coaching hundreds of Japanese women, I've discovered one mistake that keeps appearing - extreme calorie cutting. Many believe eating very little (like just salads or skipping meals) is the fastest way to lose weight. But this actually makes weight loss harder! Let me explain why this approach fails and what really works.
1. The "Less is Better" Myth
A typical problematic day looks like:
??️ Breakfast: Coffee only
??️ Lunch: Small salad
??️ Dinner: One onigiri
Why this backfires:
1. Metabolism slows down - Your body thinks it's starving and burns fewer calories
2. Muscle loss occurs - Without protein, you lose muscle (which burns fat)
3. Binge cycles begin - Extreme hunger leads to overeating later
2. Why Japanese Women Especially Struggle
Cultural factors make this worse:
• "Small appetite = feminine" stereotype
• Office culture of skipping lunch to work
• Misleading diet ads promoting "fast results"
Shocking fact: Studies show chronic undereaters often gain more weight long-term!
3. What Happens to Your Body
Short-Term - Long-Term
Lose water weight - Metabolism slows 20-30%
Feel "lighter" - Constant fatigue
Initial joy - Hair loss, bad skin
X - More belly fat later
4. The Healthy Alternative
Instead of eating less... eat RIGHT:
✅ Protein at every meal (fish, eggs, tofu)
✅ Healthy carbs (brown rice, sweet potatoes)
✅ Good fats (nuts, avocado, olive oil)
Sample Balanced Day:
?? Breakfast: Tamagoyaki + miso soup
?? Lunch: Bento with rice, fish, veggies
?? Dinner: Nabe with plenty of protein
5. Special Tips for Japanese Lifestyles
• Convenience store hack: Choose salmon onigiri + egg + veggie salad
• Office lunch solution: Keep protein bars/nuts at your desk
• Family meals: Serve yourself veggies first, then rice
6. How My Coaching Fixes This
My clients succeed because we:
1. Calculate your REAL calorie needs (not extreme cuts)
2. Create filling meal plans with Japanese foods
3. Adjust for your schedule (office workers/moms/etc.)
Case Study:
A 32-year-old office worker stopped skipping meals, ate balanced bentos, and lost 5kg in 3 months - without hunger!
Conclusion
Eating too little is the #1 reason Japanese women hit weight loss plateaus. Your body needs proper fuel to burn fat!
