☆湯豆腐ダィェット☆ / ☆Yudoufu Diet☆

Theme：blog

At Non's request, tonight's dinner was mizutaki (chicken & veggies simmered hot-pot style)~~~〃
















I've loved mizutaki for a long time〃







Tonight's also contained the famous yudoufu (boiled toufu)







Yep





When it comes to yudoufu...






I've gotten a lot of questions about it, so now I'm going to talk a little about my yudoufu diet, okay~~








There was a time when Non was hooked on yudoufu, and ate it constantly...and in about a year and a half,







lost about 15 kg [33 lbs]








But,





it wasn't that I intended to diet, I just gradually became more and more obsessed with yudoufu








is all







Incidentally, before I got hooked on it,





my height was 151 cm [~4' 11''], and I weighed over 60 kg [~132 lbs]







Incredible, huh?







........................But







I wasn't really planning to diet, but eating the yudoufu...








every day as my main dietary staple.....................







gradually I came to weigh less and less









And I was really happy and enjoyed the fact that I was losing weight, so then I began a full-blown yudoufu diet








Up until then, I had always snacked a lot, but once I started my yudoufu diet I did that less too








Yudoufu is quite filling, and you stay full for quite a while








And when you're sick of how it tastes, you can flavor it with ponzu (a mix of soy sauce and citrus juice), or gomadare (seasame sauce), or whatever you want








Non, by the way, especially loved it with chanja (a Korean side dish, spicy pickled cod intestines) and ponzu






Momiji oroshi (grated daikon+red chili peppers) is also just fantastic






And when you're sick of yudoufu, you can switch over to toufu salad...







Non was just obsessed with toufu, and was eating just a bunch of toufu dishes








But it's important to maintain balance when you're eating lots of yudoufu, so I'd also get the hot pot with pork in it,







and with renkon (lotus root) and other vegetables...







With a little invention and imagination, I was able to really enjoy my toufu diet







"You don't snack?"







a lot of people asked me







And while I didn't snack much, I always thought it was important -- not to overdo it of course, but -- once a day, every day, to eat something sweet







I think that unrelieved stress is the number one reason people fail at their diets






(At least, that's what my own experience has taught me...)






And so even when Non was on her toufu diet, she made the decision to have an ice cream or






some cake







or something, once each day







I think that keeping your stress level low is the most important thing








And after that, not to eat too much of anything







You can't be like, "I can eat as much as I want, 'cause it's toufu~" or whatever








Well, Non has recently gained about 3 kg [~6.6 lbs], so for tonight's dinner I went with mizutaki〃








It's so tasty








"Maybe I'll start a yudoufu diet again for a bit~"





I thought to myself







Well,





that's all






You now know all about Tsuji-chan's toufu diet〃
