Hello everybody! Japanese people are really thin! It’s probably one of the first things you’ll notice when you come here! But the question is, why?
Maybe it’s because of our advanced fitness equipment like the long piro piro! You might think that it looks like a normal party whistle, but it’s much more than that! This thing will build your core muscles and help you burn fat, while training your facial muscles! With one blow, you’re getting thinner and more beautiful at the same time!
So WHY ARE Japanese so thin? Well, there are several reasons. But not all of these reasons are good or even healthy. In fact, I’ve had my own struggles with trying to fit in with Japan’s thin-obsessed society. But before I tell you my story, let’s look at how Japan is designed to keep people thin!

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:16-17
Please respect the Name of God, don’t make jokes about the Holy Spirit.
Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️!
Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget!
So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen.
My mother is a professional pastry chef, and I learned how to bake from her. One trick I started using to lose weight is if I see a pastry that I know how to make (cookies, cakes, etc) I say to myself "I know what is in that" or "I can do better" or "i know what this tastes like already" and this is how I talk myself out of eating it.
I also used my knowledge of baking to cut out fats and surgar in the things I make at home. Most of my pastries are 30-70% less calories now. I encourage everybody to learn the chemestry of baking so you can cut unnecessary calories from your food too.
food science in general is good to know
Share the recipes 🙏🏻
This is so underrated. Learn how and what is happening while "processing" your own food will help you the most with cutting unnecessary stuff from it.
Muhahaha, i have the upper hand, it’s called being poor, nah I’m joking, sort of, I simply just ask if I can get more food for the same price, if yes then I have more money, if no I’m down a few coins.
But that’s cool, I’m hoping to get into baking more and get a degree in it at some point! :D
I’m a home baker and chef and I do the same thing. I hate eating out because 90% of the time I can make it at home much better and healthier.
Really appreciate how you incorporated your own story into this as a way to show some personal perspective to the audience! It makes it more relatable imo. I've also been wanting to visit Japan (since I have a friend there), but it might be a little trickier since I'm vegetarian 😅
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I was nervous to tell it but I'm happy it was meaningful for you!!
So good, you add humor to serious topic, then open up about you own struggles, very brave.
My kid has just arrived in Japan for the year and is vegan. I’m hoping she will find plenty to eat apart from rice and noodles 😅
@@TheKatyc hope she has fun!
@@ErzaScarletRed thank you! I’m sure she will 😁 x
A note about the sugar/sweetener at the table. Those are for the benefit of people who order coffee. It is usually served black at restaurants, so the customer would add sugar, powdered creamer, or artificial sweetener to their taste.
Also, America also has, an apparently unique, thing where most restaurants/fast food places allow free refills on most drinks.
Don’t forget iced tea!
Sweet tea - make it sweep.
Unsweetened tea - drink as is, or sweeten to your desired level of sweetness, or use artificial sweeteners
we often have free water when its hot outside in Texas.
Get over yourself. Americans are too fat. Sugar on the table is just one more reason!
@@BasicDad4547 lots of free water, here in Utah, during summer

As someone who's currently in the process of losing a lot of weight (highest weight was 321 lbs/146 kg, started seriously trying to lose weight at 309 lbs/140 kg, currently 283 lbs/128 kg after about 12 weeks, goal weight 185 lbs/84 kg), I can confirm that letting go was the first step (not just of the emotional pain from people making fun of my weight, but also of the idea that I had to eat to get full, like every other American does). I'm doing this for me...I don't want to wake up one day when I'm 40 years old, and find myself headed to the hospital with a heart attack that I might not survive (I just turned 37 a few days ago). I've begun eating more vegetables, and almost completely cut out sugary drinks and desserts. I'll soon be starting back on the gym grind, as well. Mrs. Eats, I appreciate you sharing your story and your bravery, I wish all the best for you and Mr. Eats on his journey, and I hope to hear more of it in the future. Meanwhile, I'll be cheering him on while on my own journey to health :) .
congrats and good luck on the rest of your journey!
Thank you for sharing your story! You are are making great progress! I’m so proud of you!!!! I am still in my journey to cut down junk food and eat more healthy and do exercise too. Every day little by little it will count! I’m sure you can make it happen! we are cheering for you!!
Good luck on your journey! Something that really helped me is the carnivore diet, check it out!
Keep going and don't look back. I lost 70 lbs and it changed my life.
Best of luck. With becoming active, I suggest starting slow and gradually increasing your intensity. For example, my running coach had me start slow with run/walk and progress to run/resting jog. I am not as fast as the others (yet), but I can now run an entire 5K and more. Mr. Ross also showed me what muscles to train in the legs for running. I also cross train with weights and karate to prevent injury and to protect joints.
When I was in America for 4 weeks I lost 5kg, yet when I was in Japan for 3 weeks, I gained 3kg XD japanese food just tastes so good
Oh!! You are another CHOSEN ONE!!
@bluehawk56 depends where you come from. Fruit and veggies were definitely spenno, but eating out was soooo cheap. What would cost $40+ in my country for a meal would only be $20 in Japan.
@@MrsEats😂
But the weight gained in Japan probably was good weight, and the weight lost in American was probably water weight.
Same here +10 kg in 3 years in Japan 😂
The sugar packets are for people who get coffee or tea and want/need to sweeten their drink. It's not for the soda.
My family used to order lemon water and use the sugar packets to make lemonade at the table.
People put more sugar in soda?
@@bistander I've never seen it.
What is a joke anyway?

There is no reason why this channel has so few subscribers. You guys have so much high-quality content. I really appreciate the effort put into your videos. Please don't give up as a CZcams content creator!
Not everyone has an interest in Japan....
If it was about Iran , I wouldn't watch it ...

For me, sweet candy, doughnuts, and sugar cola drinks were my problem. One day I decided to stop buying them. I ate oranges, apples and grapes to get the sweetness, passed on the pastry, and began drinking tea instead of colas. Bit by bit, the pounds fell off and I felt better. The only downside was my clothes no longer fit me. That was when I knew I had won!
I’m trying to get off cokes. 6 - 8 daily for over 40 years.
No, your problem was eating excess calories. This is a fact. You can eat donuts and candies it doesn’t matter, what makes you gain weight is the excess calories sooo if you’re over doing your calories, obviously you’re gonna gain weight. Fruits are a much healthy option obviously but the reason you lost weight was because you weren’t consuming so many calories.
@@andrewaguayo115 Yes self-control with sugar is a hard thing but for some people it’s better to completely cut them out because they can’t stop eating excess it’s better to avoid and substitute them than trying to do them in moderation if you know you can’t stick to that moderation
@@screbbels do you have a source on that? I'd like to hear about it
@@screbbels I'm just a little skeptical because companies were really pissed about having to add "added sugars" to the labels
Your story about the physical and mental challenges you had when you were younger has touched me,
and in a way I can relate I didn't have wait related difficulties, my difficulties were more to do with what, I was born with,
at school I was picked on because of my ADHD and autism it still affects me today like making new friends and if they would except me.
You just have to remind yourself: They're worried you won't accept them, either. Really, the only people who aren't worried about it are people who lack self-awareness! 👍
@@ChallengeIdeas you make a good point I've always treated anyone I've met as equal but they never saw me the same way, so all I ask is to be treated as equal Because, I don't judge an individual by their defects race colour or anything of the above because in my eyes everyone is a hole have there pros and cons sometimes aligned opinions sometimes not
For me meeting new people, I look for the positives build up that connection with that person also trust is a big thing in friendships for me which seems to be hard to find these days.
Sorry for the long Reply

(19:14) This part made me cry because you showed us how you overcame these obstacles. You were probably scared on sharing this information with your viewers but I think you nailed it. You showed us that the best part of a journey is when you spent time with the people you care about.🥰

I’m always excited when I visit my sister in law whose from Aomori, because she always cooks traditional food from there. She loves how excited I get when she says she going to make yakisoba, Udon, even miso soup, cause no one else in the family has tried to embrace Japanese culture. When she found out I was studying Japanese history and language, she would talk my ear off in a good way.
Her meals are the one escape from the sugar laden food that’s all over America. Plus I know it’s legitimately prepared the right way. I never have stomach problems like I can have with some American foods and chains.
I’m a slightly picky eater, egg 卵 would be the hardest for me, but I’d absolutely try everything I could there if it’s even close to her cooking.
Omg, the food must be so tasty! I've never had Japanese food 😭 in my head it's not the same going to a restaurant, I'd like to have the homemade experience ^^
@@jennynovoa8586 I've not had much of it but what I have tried is very, very good. Katsu chicken curry is my current favourite. Also one of the 'cheaper' supermarkets in Britain named Lidl, does sushi. I never really tried it much before til recently. The one I tried came with a pretty hot chilli mayo dip, and soy and wasabi or a good replica of it as is more common than many realise.
I've never been so happy to have tears streaming down my face 😂
@@TheHorseshoePartyUK nooo not Lidl's sushi 😭 and chili mayo dip for sushi, wtf?? Prepare to have your mind blown when you eat real sushi (preferably in Japan ofc) but there won't be any mayos, just quality soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger
Everyone should taste okonomiyaki and ramen! Tempura is delicious as well, obviously. And yakitori 🤤
@@tttiiaa Thank you for your recommendations. I'd love to try Japanese food at a restaurant or even in Japan sometime, but even so I'll just point out two things:
1. Lidl is not a completely terrible supermarket unlike it's reputation in UK. It's a normal supermarket in rest of Europe. I don't like a lot of their products, but some of it is really good.
Sushi from Lidl is not like getting Sushi from USA gas stations where it's a recipe for sitting on the toilet the entire next day.
The Lidl 'special' mozarella pizza is pretty good, and rated as pretty authentic by Italians I know, unlike many admittedly, delicious Frankenstein creations in our Asian takeaways.
2. I like what I like and when it comes to food, nobody can change my mind!
@@TheHorseshoePartyUK yes I live in Finland and we have Lidls too, most of their products are considered to be absolutely fine (and some great)! All I'm saying is that the real stuff is (obviously) miles above and many think that you haven't actually tasted sushi if you've only had store made sushi or similar. The difference in taste and quality is so big even though the basic components are the same.
2 Sorry I came across that way! I agree that everybody has the right to like what they like, even if the chili mayo with sushi was a bit shocking at first since esp Japanese people are such purists when it comes to sushi 😅 but whatever tastes good to the one eating!
Anyway, I would look up if you have any Japanese-owned restaurants there with a variety of dishes and great reviews, it's absolutely worth the money if you find one :)
So cute, running with the toast!!
Love KevOnStage
My husband and I just put down our deposit to visit Japan for the first time next fall! We have been working out to get in better shape so we can hike in the countryside and hustle around the cities without getting tired
The last part made me cry. I lost a lot of weight over the last years, after i gained a lot troughout a abusive Relationship i had after i left my also very abusive Family. As Kid i was always the super skinny one, people always tellt me i should eat more and even bullied me for my skinny chicken legs and being a Ginger also didn't help much. But i didn't get much food at home, so i never gained much weight until i had the chance to leave them. But as i said, i got from one Hell in the other Hell. There i gained a lot of weight and people started saying, just stop eating, you are so fat, you will die early, ect. ect.
But i couldn't stop, quite the opposite, the more people and my Ex-Boyfriend treated me badly, the more i ate and isolated me xx.
I have still a bit to loose and it's getting really hard, when you at a state, where results come slower and slower. And you are right, loosing weight didn't help my mental-health. I'm at 76kg now and still feel like my 110kg self and think People make fun of me, when they compliment me and stuff. I don't had a boyfriend since the breakup 3 Years ago and even though i sometimes miss the company, i can't bring myself to trust a Guy at the moment. Especially because I'm afraid that my mental state is not yet far enough that I don't fall for the same type of man again.
Thanks for youre nice and helpfull Words and for youre Videos who make me always smile :).
Hang in there, I know you will be fine and you will achieve everything you want in life. I know you can do it. You have to believe you can do it too. It all starts in the mind and the subconscious. We can rewire our brains and change our lives. There’s so many ppl who care about you, including me and I don’t even know you. I know you are a good person. I love you.
when you find the right person that can encourage you the way you want them to.That won't treat you in that way and will love every part of you... you won't even care how long you waited for them 💜 so proud of you.
Sorry to hear. Men really can be quite a problem at times. However available data suggests that the worst tiny minority of all people, of all demographics, is at most, 1% to 5% of all of us. It is wise to stay away from dating and relationships for a while, work on yourself, heal, and learn how to spot Red Flags in future. It can be helpful to learn about how manipulative, gaslighting narcissists operate, but if you do it too much, you will make yourself overly vigilant to the point of paranoia.
It happened to one lady I knew who's only socialising was talking to victimised women, as she obsessed over Narcissism and associated Red Flags. I had to stop speaking to her eventually. Conversation the last 4 years became nearly nothing but her obsession and despising her ex and her acting like the entire world was against her.
There is a harsh truth that both toxic personalities, and their victims struggle to cope with. Nearly always, the entire world *is not* out to get them. There are 8 billion people on the planet, and 99.999999% of them will never even know they exist, never mind have a strong opinion for or against them.
Recommendations: Carol Dweck's Growth Mindset, also seeking therapy if you can access it for free or afford it. Else for advice from professionals;
Dr Tracey Marks or Mark Tyrrell of Uncommon Knowledge UK. Also, learning about Critical Thinking skills of Cognitive Biases and Logical Fallacies can be extremely useful for your own life, and society.
Eg, those of us who have been totally crushed by the worst people, are often afraid to like ourselves in case we become those who hurt us. There is only a tiny bit of overlap between having self-esteem and self-confidence, and being a toxic narcissist.
To say they are exactly the same is the logical fallacy of False Equivalence. "A chihuahua is exactly the same species as a Lion. Exactly, exactly the same. They both have a face, eyes, a nose, mouth, growl, and have four legs with claws and a tail"
Or as articulated by Simon Sinek: "Confidence is believing in yourself. Arrogance is telling others you're better than they are. Confidence inspires. Arrogance destroys"
Give yourself time! And emotional rest. Take one day at a time! Learn breathing techniques for relaxation.

That part at the end made me really sad, I really wish I could find supportive people like that. Sometimes I really hate going through so much alone.
While watching this, I was pleasantly surprised and appreciative of your own story. I’m Japanese-American and this really helps me understand why my grandparents would talk about my or my cousins weight all of the time. I thought they were just saying these things to be mean, but now I see it may be more of a cultural thing passed down. I am starting a journey myself with losing weight and trying to be the best version of myself, and your story was so inspiring and exactly what I’ve been needing to hear. Thank you so much and best of luck to Mr. Eats and his road to better health. Please do give us some updates! ❤ you and your channel
I love your sharing. Very very helpful. I am Japanese American living in the US. I am surrounded, it seems, by skinny Asians all around me. But It seems that way because I focus and compare myself to others and get depressed. Plus your points about the American food culture is very true. If I focus on the ways that you shared, I will be healthier and happier, and content with the way God made me. Just cutting out junk food, and exercising more will help me feel better. Again, thank you so much for sharing as a real person! Love Mr. Eats in your videos too! ❤
I didn't cut junk food that much but I still gain at the same weight 😶 I keep questioning that I walk, run or jump too much to the point I realized, I was doing them without noticing.
I had a intense jogging at school when I search for my friend the whole entire school building but turns out they were listening a talk about the business cooperative in some classroom lmao 😭😂
My feet was burning on fire since my lower abdomen fat, thighs and legs are making me sore to walk
I was almost at the verge of collapsing 💀 (I was 60-70 kg, and also my body shape is a pear shape)

You bring so much joy to other people. I wish both you and Mr. Eats good health. I’d also love to see Mr. Eats journey.
Thank you!! I'll tell Mr. Eats you're cheering for him!!
@@MrsEats Thank you! Yes please do!
Agreed! Mr Eats is not that big (from my American perspective), but I would definitely support him and maybe get healthier myself by watching his journey. Already from this video I'm thinking of cutting out my junk food.
Again.
Sigh.
Agreed, please let us draw inspiration from you two!
@@ZeeboidThrok Everyone backslides. Just take it a day at a time, and don't punish or shame yourself! Direct energy forward!
Your husband is such a trooper 😂
Goals for sure!
Thanks for sharing your personal story 💕
Yes, we love Mr. Eats. Take good care of him and keep him healthy. Looking forward to the progress he is making...😁🤗
The sugar on the table is for the tea and coffee, plus the salt and pepper is for adding more spice to the food. My brother was like skinny and can eat like those kids there when he was younger, now his metabolism has slowed. I’m trying to lose weight myself.
Spoke to me so hard when you mentioned the mean little voice everyone has telling them "You're disgusting". 💕 I love hearing your perspective about life.
Wishing Mr.Eats a very successful journey in getting healthy. You two are very lucky to have each other.
Thank you for opening up about your past struggles and insecurities. It really empowered me to do better.

I just found your channel and after watching a few videos have to say I LOVE your content! and the MrEats has some of the best comedic delivery and timing. you're both amazing!
I wish I could've liked this video 100 times!!! The final segment of your struggles is really inspiring and I love seeing both your dynamics together. Thank you Mrs and Mr Eats 💚💜
Only half way through y’all’s video and there’s already been so many times/skits when I wanted to “re-like” it! I wish YT had that function, it would really help super creative people like you and your husband.
This is one of the best videos ever made! Thank you for your time and effort, and for making me laugh, it’s real medicine 💯👏
I would have never thought you would have gone through something like that. You were so honest about how you felt during those times, so powerful for other people going through the same things❤ I always love you guy’s videos!
Thank you for sharing such a personal story about your struggles with bullying and trying to fit with social norms. I have a teen family member who is also Japanese going through the same experience and it breaks my heart seeing her go through that. You said it best in that we need to give compassion and understanding to help anyone through it. I hope she’ll have the strength and make sure to support her through it so that she can be a strong as you are.
I love you two! Thank you for sharing your health journey, this is encouraging me to try to eat healthy and make smarter life choices 💕
Your personal take on this is so valuable and full of love!
Thank you for sharing your past experiences and struggles. It’s encouraging to know I’m not alone! I would love to see future updates about Mr. Eats and his progress. 🎉
Omg you two are really the best I love your humor and way of expressing yourself this goes to Mr eats too, you are both so nice to watch 🌹
This video made me laugh but recognize struggles I have had lately myself, and learning to change my mindset.
Good luck to you and Mr Eats on your happy healthy journey!
I love your videos so much. They are so funny and you and Mr. Ears are too adorable together.
This video really hit home. As a bigger person myself, I know the struggle. I’m constantly trying to lose weight and have weeks where I exercise and eat healthy then whenever depression sets in, all that goes out the window. It can be a real struggle, especially when one does not have any support.
Your personal story and your reflection on how it molded you is very inspiring. Thank you for sharing!
thank you for sharing your story about struggling with weight, having been a very chubby asian during my youth as well your story really made me emotional. And then adding in the funny skits in between really made me laugh. I love your story telling and video style! Made me subscribe :)
Thanks for another great video! Your story was super relatable. Here in the U.S., most women struggle the way you did. I’m a very muscular (“big”) person myself, plus I love to eat, but I managed to do what you did- find a healthy balance, let go of shame/trauma, and make healthier choices. Please keep making videos! You guys are my fave Japanese channel! ❤
I am excited to follow you both on your journey, what an inspiration! We all need a life buddy who has our best interests at heart, and will run up the steps with us!
I stumbled upon this on my main page and I'm loving the charisma and chemistry of you and Mr.Eats. This content is amazing.
Id love to see more videos like this and how to be healthier! This was so awesome and I LOVE your sense of humor!
This was a really good video and I appreciate you telling your story. It made me sad for you and others that struggle😢. I also liked how you featured some science facts. We are proud of you mrs eats and you look really great now. You’re an amazing CZcamsr as well with great content!❤
Thank you for not only sharing this fascinating cultural information but also your own personal stories with us! Hearing that others have gone through struggles and are still learning to improve themselves is a wonderful encouragement to others on their own journeys. Due to his own health conditions my husband struggled with weight for years and was unable to lose any meaningful amount. About 6 months ago he underwent weight loss surgery and is doing much better, but he still has a ways to go to meet his goals. I do everything I can to support and encourage him, and seeing you and Mr. Eats together reminds me a bit of us; being silly together but also very loving and encouraging. I wish you both the best in your health journey!
I find your content informative and encouraging, plus the humor hits my funny bone. As a formerly overweight bullied individual, I really enjoy hearing your stories and positivity.
I think this is my favorite video! My grandmother was from Japan and she always made comments about my weight growing up (along with the rest of my family) and, though I know it was from a place of love, it definitely has had a lasting effect on my mentality regarding weight. When the people that you love make you feel ugly, it's a hard thing to come back from. I look back at pictures of me from High School and early adulthood, and I regret having such negative feelings about myself back then. Now, at 31 and 6 years after having a baby, my weight is definitely out of control. I am working on getting healthy, not for aesthetics, but so I can be around and present 100% for my daughter.

Yes! We’d love to see Mr Eats tackle his health! As someone who has been at war with their weight for nearly their entire life, I can relate!
Thank you for sharing your personal story. I too am on the weight management journey and the emotional ups and downs do not make it easy. I love the humor in your videos and this particular one was very inspirational. I wish Mr Eats well in his journey. It would be great to get any updates you are willing to share.
You are truly showing love to your husband by caring for his health. I can do better than I am currently doing. Thank you for the encouragement 😊
Loved this video! As someone who's going through some weight gain after the pandemic it's been so hard to get motivated again. I really connected with your story and really want to see your husband's progress too! I also ordered some AG 1 with your link! Can't wait to give it a try! Thanks for sharing your story and best of luck to you!
I know exactly what you are saying. I went from 250lbs (113kg) to 120lbs (54kg) and I thought I would automatically be confident. No. I even had a family member who thought I would go from baggy clothes to dressing like a supermodel. No.
I discovered that my lack of confidence was inside., not outside
I just found your page, and I'm proud of you for taking charge of your mental health
This video went in a direction I did not expect and I really appreciate that 🥰
I also struggled a lot with my weight. When I was younger, I worked out almost 6 hours every day. I was in 5 different sports clubs and also made a license as lifeguard. But suddenly I started to gain weight, so I trained even harder. Didn't help, so I went on a diet, only drank water and ate fresh vegetables, still gained weight. I couldn't eat in public since everyone told me with my weight I should skip meals, I got belittled and called lazy and fat. My weight rose until I wasn't able to do sports anymore since my joints hurt so much and I got bruises from the slightest bump.
It took 6 years until I finally found a doctor that believed me and looked for the cause, finding out it was lipedema that made my weight rise.
Lipedema is an illness where fat cells increase unlimited, it gets worse and worse with time. To make it simple, it's like with cancer, the cells stop doing their original job and become neoplastic. The cells get bigger and bigger and neither diets nor sport can affect them. But since they are "fat cells", neither people nor medicine take it serious, calling out people affected by the illness: "It's fat, so it's your own fault. Just stop lying to yourself."
No it's not, and finally that viewpoint starts to change (a little). After 20 years of suffering (the cells don't just get bigger, they also cause a lot of pain) I finally got my operations, and since last year, I am back on working out, cause I finally am able to do so again. On my own, I would not have managed to do it. Lipedema is an illness, not a decision.
Thank you for another great video! You are definitely right about portions and food availability in the US. It’s outrageous. I would love to follow Mr Eats journey! I have health issues of my own that would benefit from me losing the weight they caused me to gain, but it’s very challenging. I will use your story as motivation, and Mr Eats journey too, if we are allowed to follow it.
Very motivational sharing your personal journey, glad you found your happy space
One of your best videos! Thanks Mrs Eats - and Mr Eats too!!
I can relate to your struggles, but I find it hard to change my mindset like you did. So I'd be interested in seeing how you approach Mr. Eats journey. 💕
I love Mr. Eats, and I would love to see his health journey. I had my health journey. Last year I was in the hospital for the month of September. When i got out, i wanted to make sure that never happened again. I joined a gym, got into a group, and proceeded to lose about 35lbs since April! I am still loosing weight, as I just had bariatric surgery last week. i still have a long way to go, but I am happier and healthier than I have been in a long time! With you there Mr. Eats!
High quality content!!! Loved this. Thank you ❤❤❤❤😊
The bits with your husband are hilarious!!! Thank you!
I would LOVE to follow Mr. Eats' journey! I also grew up at a bigger kid. I went back and forth between starving myself and binge eating until my early 20s, constantly disgusted with my own body. Because of my family history of heart disease and diabetes (combined with my low self-esteem), I started trying to be healthier, little by little, about 6 years ago. I have lost over 100lbs (45kg) so far, and I am so so close to my goal weight! I feel so much better now, and my doctor is quite pleased. I'm cheering you on, Mr. Eats! And congratulations to you, Mrs. Eats, for all that you've accomplished. Thanks for sharing your story ^_^
本当にありがとうございますイーツさん。皆さんに勇気をあげました。 Thank you so much Mrs Eats! You’ve given everyone courage. I personally cannot speak on the topic of being overweight but I felt your personal story was very enlightening for everyone. I think this was very brave of you to share.
I hope Mr Eats becomes healthier with an inspiring person like you by his side 😊 You can do it Mr Eats! 頑張って！できる！
ありがとう！私もアレックスさんやみんなのコメントに勇気をもらってるよ！
I am a quite big man, and I'm struggling with it, myself. I find myself positively besieged with the ease of access to terrible food, the difficulty of obtaining healthy food cheaply, and the message of fat acceptance.
I have a bad thyroid. I suppose I better be ashamed.
@@largedoglover99 Cool story, bro.
Edited for clarity: Nobody is trying to tell you how to feel. I don't care how you feel about what I said. My circumstances are within my control, and I don't need to be inundated with messaging stating how being fat is somehow "healthy," how I must be "fatphobic (not a real thing)" for not wanting to be fat anymore, or how I'm "actively harming fat people" by working to lose weight. So take your messaging, internalize it (you do you), and leave me the fuck alone about how *I* choose to live *MY* life.
Fuck, you people are exhausting.
I can relate to your story so much. Thank you for sharing your experience.
You are both an inspiration. I know Mr. Eats will be a success in his journey to better health. I would love to not only see this as part of this channel's story, but as someone who was overweight most of my life, I hope to be an encouragement as well.
Love this video, important topic. Kudos to Mr. Eats for his "acting".
Acting? It's his real life haha!
Mrs. Eats I really appreciate what you have said, especially about your weight loss journey. I'm still going through the same thing when you lost weight. I thought losing weight would solve my problem, but instead my mental health was something I needed to fix, also. Thank-you for giving me insight and hope on your mental and emotional journey. That you can let go is something I see myself doing, eventually.
I'd also like to see your husband's journey on his weight loss. I want to cheer for him and you (for your support). :) :) :)
I just started back on my weightloss journey and this video was an amazing encouragement.....Thank you and to Mr. Eats you go!
Oh yes please make the follow-up video of his journey! ☺️
So nice to see Mrs Eats again! Mister Eats makes me laugh too! 😄
Thank you!! I'm happy to be back!
@@MrsEats you always make me feel happy when I watch your videos. Even when I'm feeling sad you make me smile.
Nice video. I definitely got a few giggles out of Mr. Eats' "compliments." 😂
After moving to the US, I realized that in order to get what might be considered a "normal" portion, you had to order from the lighter options portion of the menu (if there is one).
I do miss the walking and rollerblading being part of life by default in any other country I've lived in. I probably got some funny looks on the rollerblades when in Tokyo but it did get me to my closest station in a little over 2 minutes; I started on a hill so it was a lot of fun. 😛
Great video! The comedy is spot on, and the content is fabulous! Much love from Georgia, U.S.A! 👍🏿
Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you so much for your video. This subject hits hard for me. Being overweight and picked on can hurt for years after. Right now I'm on my own journey to get better and healthier. One thing I've found is to find little life hacks that let me enjoy a treat without blowing my healthy eating. Like atm it's fall and there is pumpkin pie hummus, with real pumpkin in it. I put a tablespoon of that on a graham cracker with some sugar free cool whip. All the flavor and taste of a pumpkin pie without all those extra calories and sugar.
I had a similar experience gaining/losing a hundred pounds in America. Beautifully shared and it is such a lonely experience til you learn to be your own best friend.
Love you guys' humour! Yes, follow up plz!
Can I just say what a great video this was. I thought it was going to be just about foods in Japan but you said some things that really hit close to home and this really made my day as I've struggled with overeating. Thank you.
New mrs Eats content = Today's gonna be a great day
Thank you!!
wonderful video as always
I love you guys! Thank you for posting about your beautiful country. 🥰
I would love to follow M. Eats journey. I am working on myself so it is encouraging to see others do the same
(Heehee, the sugar on tables in America is really for your coffee or tea. I don't know if anyone actually adds any to sweetened sodas, they've gotten pretty over-sweet since they switched to corn syrup mostly anyway. (Real sugar was more expensive so they didn't just dump it in like they do now. I can't even stand much of the stuff anymore. :) ) )
To-go boxes/'doggie bags' are pretty essential if you can't/don't want to eat a lot at a sitting, but actually portion sizes have been coming down cause of 'shrinkflation,' (charging the same price for less of the product to try and make it look like they aren't gouging.) But I notice cause I'm used to getting two meals out of a dinner. :)
thank you for sharing your own story. What you said about people bullying others for being overweight is so true. It's rarely helpful, if ever. It's especially damaging for children and teenagers who first need to built up their self-esteem. Your tip on staying slim by not buying unhealthy food may sound simple enough but it's spot on. It's easier to walk past it when grocery shopping than trying to resist overeating on it once you have it at home.
Yes! Please do a series with Mr. Eats!
Beautiful story. Thanks for sharing!!💛💛💛🍒🍒
Mr. Eats doesn't realize why he's the chosen one 😂
Seriously, this is a great video & thank you for sharing your personal journey and experiences with us. 🙏
I hope to visit Japan in the future.
To-go bags are revolutionary! I ask for one and split my food in half before I start eating in US restuarants, otherwise it's too easy to eat too much!
I love how you opened up in this video. 👍
Thank you for sharing 🖤
I had my honeymoon trip to Japan for 3 weeks. Ate so much but realised I lost weight despite eating so much!
Not when your name is Chris Broad 😂
Don't worry! Next time we see him he will be very MACHO!!
@@MrsEats Macho, Sumo or both. We will see
@@MrsEats I'm confused did you reply my my super thanks or was it a scammer I'm so confused really?
Sha, naughty you - I Adore Chris❤
The information is amazing. You're both adorable too and I love it!
Really appreciate the sense of humor and honesty they approached this topic with.
Mrs. Eats. Glad to have you back!
Keep up the great work
Thank you! 🤗 I'll do my best!!
That was amazingly brave to share that story and heartening to see how you guys are moving forward together. We're trying to do the healthy thing too, so thought we'd try the Athletic Greens. Fun fact, the New Zealand company doesn't send product to New Zealand 😂
Thank you so much!! I hope you enjoy your healthy journey! These days we drink a lot of smoothie of course with AG1! I hope you can get your hands on it soon!!
This was amazing. Thank you
Great video @Mrs. Eats!!! Thank you for sharing your story!! 🙂
The sugar and sweeteners are for coffee and tea.
3:52 Actually, our saying is "eat until you have to unbutton your jeans, THEN order dessert."
While we were in Japan last, my wife and I lost 10 lbs each. We didn't hold back at all on what we were eating, but the the combination of walking constantly and not having easily accessible things to snack on probably did most of it.
Thank you, I genuinely enjoyed your video
