The major contributing factor to life style related diseases, typified
by diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease, is often obesity.
Therefore, we have to think about losing surplus weight.
When I was watching TV the other day, I found a program which
tried to introduce a way to cook low-calorie dishes. It showed food
images for a full hour. Then they let 3 overweight guests eat 3 full
servings of curry-rice (Japanese style curry with rice). The dishes
were made with lower calories than normal but that “tasting” totaled
1,800 kcal.
