is this a thing? I was thinking asia would be where its at, lots of rice and soup and vegetables.

also I've read a few times american food is so toxic that people feel different/better after eating somewhere else for a while. could this be legit or they just feel good because they're on vacation? sorry if this thread is better suited to /fit/

Japan
+healthiest food with no processing/preservatives even the 711 food is healthier than most stuff you can make at home in the US
+longest living people in the world due to healthy sushi and food
+you will never see a bald japanese person due to how healthy the food is
+compared to anything I can get in Boston it's super cheap too
+the people look good esp the women

I've been contemplating moving to Japan simply due to the health reasons Japan offers compared to the shitslop you get and are forced to eat in the US. Here in Boston it's cheaper for me to Uber eats the BOGO 50% off things for food than it is to go to the health food store, possibly get robbed, and get home with all my shit spoiling. The closest wholes food near me is super far away and would take me nearly 30 minutes to walk, last time I was in Japan if I wanted something healthy? Oh freshly delivered sushi at Lawsons! Health drinks and health suppliments right there. Freshly backed GOOD chicken. Cheap sandwhiches with veggies that were actually green. All that maybe 8 dollars. You can't find that here anywhere, the cheapest I know is 8 dollars for 2 NY style sized pizza slices + soda...

Japan is 100% the way to go to regrow your hair in your 20's and lose weight, I plan to do 6 months out there, find a job, and join some gym there to teach me some decent self defense. I figure it will really help my overall mentality and health, maybe even land me a job to move there for good.

yeah actually i have lost weight on a few trips around asia
one time i was on a long work trip and i was completely worn out and it was so hot and humid i just couldn't be bothered to eat. there was a juice bar near my hotel and i basically just went in there every day and lived on smoothies. i lost a ton of weight really quickly
in some countries tho like malaysia all the food is basically fried and contains loads of sugar so i put on weight there
also a couple of times in india i have basically shat out the entire contents of my body every day

I was in Japan 2 weeks ago and there are a lot of overweight salaryman.

Having said that, if you are a tourist and don't have to spend 9 hours a day in an office, you will lose weight. I was doing 30k steps per day everyday for 3 weeks straight and I lose about 5-8kg. Was skinny as a stick when I came back to the shitty UK

Are you retarded? They're full of plastic and preservatives.
Japanese cooking itself is pretty healthy but in terms of prepared food Asia is universally awful

I am 100% sure those are Koreans or Chinese. I have never seen a fat japanese person.
>>2657684
>Are you retarded? They're full of plastic and preservatives.
Proof? I look at them and see thin people everywhere with heads full of hair, they are also the longest living people in the world. They have pride in their work and wouldn't use the goyslop methods of the US. Just watch a few documentaries and educate yourself.
>>

The older generations that pump up those numbers are people who lived more suburban lives and mostly cooked their own food with a homemaker and breadwinner traditional family structure.

Young Japanese are killing themselves with gas station food and 18 hour workdays.

Most of their diet are carbs and salt. Not far off from America except they eat more fish and pork.

FUCK YOU AND YOUR AMERICAN SHIT
>>
>>2657619
Japan is by no means the "healthiest"
That title should probably go to the Mediterranean diet
>>
Jap food is all carbs. They're just skinny because they have standards and bully the fatties.
>>
>>2657601
It's the opposite. When you travel you tend to be flooded with stress and adrenaline and this makes you hungry. That combined with typically restaurant only offerings means you end up overeating. You will also probably get snacks often.


If you actually move somewhere and settle in, then adopting local foods can be very healthy. Simply forget it while you are mobile though.

literally anywhere but america will make you lose weight, or leaving your shithole and visiting somewhere you can get around walking like NYC. america is designed to keep people unhealthy and happy with driving everywhere and the awful quality of food, and there's a reason that gym culture is so huge as forcing yourself to do exercise is the only way to stay fit.

Go to india and eat their streetfood
I challenge you to not lose weight after shitting in brains out for two weeks

that's not a thing. Once a follicle dies it's dead forever. You are retarded.
>>
>>2658068

i have had hair fall out for a while and hten come back so i think it depends on how "dead" it really is. maybe it was gone for a few years it's not coming back but a few months and i think you're okay
>>
>>2657619
They live long because they're coastal and have respect for the elderly. It's not that complicated. Btw California has the oldest person alive right now.


Also the OP is correct that you naturally lose weight traveling because you're on an island having fun adventures tho, and the food is healthy and tasty
>>
Lol all this Japan hate by seething americans
>>
>>2657601
Are the people who constantly complain about American food quality just constantly eating fast food or something? Just go to the grocery store and buy some vegetables lol
>>
>>2658452
Never been to america but it's cheaper to eat out at mcdonalds that it is to eat at home or something. Healthier too since they use a lot more preservatives to keep the food 'fresh'. pol has a good write up about it
>>
>>2657601
i moved to mozambique for 3 months and my cystic acne(completely covered my back and face) permanently cleared up after a month of eating the diet there. im from canada

how do you know it wasn't the sunshine that did it? or just the stress relief from being away from your troubles in canada.

everytime I travel I miraculously GAIN like 8 lbs. somehow walking 9 miles a day on a diet of 3000 calories means I may as well be chugging olive oil. never been to asia though

> also I've read a few times american food is so toxic that people feel different/better after eating somewhere else for a while. could this be legit or they just feel good because they're on vacation?

The toxicity of American food, and the purity of food in other nations, is greatly exaggerated on both sides. The US eats at least slightly better on average than the world likes to think it does, and most of the rest of the world consumes more garbage than it likes to admit. There are pesticides, preservatives, etc., used in American agribusiness and food production that are more tightly restricted or even banned in other countries, but they’re neither as ubiquitous nor as toxic as people who think magically about food want to believe. (Lead is a toxin. Industrial-scale lettuce is not.) And sure, high-fructose corn syrup is bad for you, but it’s not in everything (nor is it unique to the USA—it’s all over cheap European candy, where it is called glucose-fructose syrup), and a lot of other countries also eat too much sugar in one form or another. Palm oil is really bad for you, too, and Asia eats far more of it than the Americas or Europe.

All that said, it really can be quite easy to lose weight when traveling, for many different reasons—most people move more, and many eat less, when they’re away from home. And of course, being immersed in a really different food culture can help—many dishes are indeed lighter than visitors are used to, but more than that, I think most people just pay more attention to what they’re eating while abroad. People who worry that they tend to eat too much often find themselves eating less when they have to find what they’re going to eat in a less familiar environment. And of course, different climates, stronger spices, food-borne illness, or even just sweating a lot cause numbers to go down at least a little, at least temporarily.
>>
>>2658611
Wow, that's a monumental coping effort.
>Europeans have shit in candy so the US is on par with their diet!

The US is a disgrace when it comes food. The amount of goyslop which is consumed is an abomination, and I'm perplexed why people rush to the rescue of huge corporations who profit from your dignity, health and agency.

When I was out there for two and a half weeks I was pounding the pavement most days, getting out and about. Didn't think about diet or effects of a few Asahis of an evening.

I came home and my girlfriend immediately saw that I'd shifted a bit of timber. Turns out that eating noodles, rice and bits of fish, and walking about the place, does wonders!

You misunderstand me at least a little. I was never arguing that Americans aren’t fat people who eat too much of things that are bad for them (and also move too little).

I was arguing against the idea that American food is somehow inherently “toxic,” which is everywhere online and is basically nonsense. Their raw materials, ingredients, and even many staple foods are by and large no worse than those found in many or even most other countries. It is 100% possible for an American to get fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish that are as good as any in the world.

What people and companies choose to do with what is available to them is a different matter.
>>
>>2658112
They live longer because many elderly don't have their deaths reported until years after they die, most will wander off "missing" so that their kids can claim their pension for a while after they've died.
>>
>>2657619

If you move to Japan to eat 711 food you should just neck yourself at this point.

The sushi is healthier but avoid the salmon:

> Most of it isn't from asia
> Shit quality farmed salmon from norway full of toxins and other parasites
> Still expensive

Stick to tuna and other fish if you eat sushi. The tuna will be farmed as well but will have a lot less toxins and other garbage in it.

Cuba.

You will loose a lot of weight and fast.

>>2657601
After several trips to Europe and Asia, I’ve concluded that walkable cities unironically keep you from getting fat. Just 1 mile walked is about 100kcals. You do three miles a day, every single day, and that’s like 30lbs in a year. Over the course of a lifetime, and it makes a big fucking difference.
Not a coincidence that Bongistan, the most car dependent country in (or not in lol) Europe is also the fattest.
>>
>>2657601
and where will you travel to keep the weight off? because you will just gain it back in your country if you need to travel to another country to lose it
