Dr. Ishihara's new way of diet (and being healthy)


LZ has recently read a Chinese book "先別急著吃三餐 (Don't rush to eat 3 meals)", original written by a Japanese doctor Ishihara (石原結實). Dr. Ishihara indicates it's much healthier for people to eat only one meal per day. By eating 70% than usual, it helps our body to develop our immune system. How so? When our stomach is full, our leukocytes are full as well. At this point, if we have virus coming into our body, our leukocytes would be too full to eat the virus. Therefore, if we keep our body constantly in a kind of hungry mode, our body works the best. But you can't just changing your eating habit so quickly, so I'm following Dr. Ishihara's recipe for my 3 meals first, and then slowly adjust my body to eat less.

1. Breakfast: Homemade carrot and apple juice
2. Lunch: Soba
3. Dinner: Eat whatever you want.

(If you feel dizzy because of low blood sugar, you can consume some chocolates)

I downloaded a weight tracker application on my iphone to track my weight each day. Day 3, weight 119.6lbs. We'll see how this works.
