A first new diet method in 2007
My mom sent me mail on Sunday night. She said "Did you see Aru-Aru? You can lose weight and keep your youth by Natto." I wondered why she said like that because we already knew Natto is the perfect food. But my mom said "There is a rule to eat it. 1. Eat two packages twice in a day (like one at breakfast and one at dinner), 2. You eat one package 20 minutes after stirring it very well. You will see the result in 1 or 2 weeks!" I checked the Internet and found many people wrote about it already. They said the hormone DHEA worked for diet and keeping youth. The resource of DHEA is isoflavone and Natto has the most easily-absorbed isoflavone, etc. This site has the details (translated). Check it out.
"OK, I may try!" So I went to the store to get Natto yesterday. Guess what! All the Natto was sold out. I checked three big supermarkets, but I couldn't find any Natto there. Crazy...Aru-Aru Daijiten carries great weight with people in this country and maybe Japanese are simple-minded health geeks. But now I can buy "Kanten" (agar-agar) without problem, I can tell you the Natto boom will be over in a few weeks too. And I am still eating Cabbage before meals; I won't judge and give up one method so quickly.
Talking about food and health, Nikkie restaurant wrote "Doctor's restaurant will hit this year." The doctor checks ingredients, recipes, calories, everything of each menu. "The diabetes charisma's Hamburg plate" or "cardiovascular internal doctor's babbling blood soup" etc. Maybe such a menu they will have. Tokyo Food Theater 5+1 in Akihabara has Japanese, French, Italian, Oriental, Bar and doctor's menu as +1. "Metabolic menuă»is a 7000yen course that cares about blood sugar. Chishoku Shunsai ETSU is the restaurant for diabetes. The intereting part is they have an insulin infusion shot room. Wow, that's serious stuff.
i will have to try this method. this is such great work.

Mari - did you catch last night's AruAru? It was on cancer risk reduction, and the biggest factor, just slightly higher than smoking, was eating habits. Japanese have been eating less veggies whilst in the US it has been increasing, which I found quite funny as a lot of the health shows always blame Westernisation of the diet as a problem.
Anyway, the top veggies that will no doubt be sold out today included: broccoli, broccoli sprouts, kawarai (or something - daikon) sprouts, komatsuna, mizuna, na no hana (hope that's the right reading), cauliflower and garlic. Barring the na no hana, which I can't remember having eaten, I love them all!
Wonder if we'll see an upsurge in vegetarianism in Japan?

Hi There
We are health geek and of course me too. I am not sure today I can buy some Natoo. I really want!

I saw the natto episode - surprised it sold out though, given that it's such a popular show.
My Japanese wife hates natto (don't many Kansai people dislike it?), and we reckoned the other way that it worked was that after a pack-full you're put off your food so much you can't eat!
We're both trying to diet this New Year, and as encouragement for each other, if either of us fails to reach our goals by the end of the month we have to try the natto diet in February!

Screw Pilates, We got Natto.
Sounds like an culinary torture though. however Japanese shouldn't worry about food to o much, they already have one of the healthiest kitchens of the world.
