Have you heard that it’s a distortion of a body that makes us fat!?
Even if you don’t care about fat or overweight, you’re not happy to live with stiff shoulders, backache, or constipation, are you?
First of all, you can learn if your body is distorted or not. If your answer is yes to any one of the followings, then your body (especially pelvic bone) is very possibly distorted.

test 1
-Somehow the skirt you are wearing turns round while you walk.
-Only one side (inside or outside) of the soles of your shoes worn out.
-You have severe menstrual pain.
-You sleep on your stomach, or on your side.
-You’ve been told that your face looks asymmetry.

If you have one or more of Yes to above, your body is distorted!
(Sadly I am!)
Now how about another test?

test 2
Stand in front of a full-length mirror, close your eyes and step there for 10 seconds.
Then open your eyes, trying to keep relaxed, but quickly check if the hight of the followings are located in good balance.

-the eyebrows
-the ears
-the shoulders
-the knees
-and the length of the arms.

So what can you do to the distortion and lose weight (fat) after all?
That’s what Makudake diet (巻くだけダイエット) is for.
Only wrap a band around your sidebone to set the pervic bone right positioned, and wait for 3 minutes! Do this everyday, and one month later you will find you have lost 2-3kg, according to them.

This is Makudake diet and is very hot now in Japan now!
But as long as I check the book review from Amazon.co.jp, it’s just OK…
But if you are interested in, the photo below is from the book.

I remember long time ago, it got popular to band tape around fingers and lose weight. I tried that, but I could not keep that because at work I had to show my fingers in front of our customers. To continue that diet method, the best thing was to do that as long hours as possible. When we spend most of time at work, how could I keep that? Then I stopped it.

BTW, do you remember my post about rubbing fat to move it to the breasts? One of my friends kept doing that and she said to me, it really worked!!

Is there any diet that is very popular in your country? Anything that you recommend or share with us? What do you think of low-carbohydrate diet? I once went successful with it, but since I heard it’s not effective to stop eating enough amount of rice and instead eat meat well, I stopped my diet and got fat again…:(

I wonder if you have already read my post about “amazing rejuvenation and ageless beauty” that I shared with you some time ago. I was one of the audience who didn’t completely believe her story that she rubbed her fat and moved it to her breasts to make them bigger from A to H cup.

This amazing woman however now becomes very famous and I was shocked to see many of her books at a local book store until I finally found her inside anan magazine of how to keep good-shaped breasts and hips last month. She is such a successful woman who can keep young looking in spite of her real age of 60, but it was not only that. She has established her company and extended her salons all around Japan!! Yes, she has been successful as a business owner! This was quite a surprise to me.

Her method is just very simple. She repeats the same way everywhere, as she explained in the TV show. She keeps saying that the imagination is very important, first of all. Then the exercise is very simple with only 5 minutes everyday with no cost, and result is expected very quickly.

Below is some of the points she explains in the anan magazine. Pressing base part of the thumbs against each other in front of your chest, breathing out for 8 seconds, and move that to the right and left, breathing out for 8 seconds each is a good way to train your pectoralis major muscle.

Rubbing upper arms, grab extra fat, and move it into your bra is just as well explained in the video of the post. There is an acupressure point called “kekkai(血海)” as in the photo and press it (of both legs) to make female hormone active. This point is good for your breasts, too. Additionally, it’s said that you’d better sleep on your back as in the photo.

Finally before you go to sleep, there’s one more to do. This is the same as explained in the video.

Easy, isn’t it? Then why can’t I continue this everyday? :p

ps. Thank you so much for your comments in my previous post. I received a suggestion from one of my blog readers that I can share health and beauty info. Actually I’ve thought of that so many times but in Japan, there are always flooded tips and information on diet and beauty. That’s why I was not sure which one I’d pick out. But I decided to have a page for health and beauty where I can share Japanese, a country of the world’s highest longevity, way of keeping good health and young looking as well as beauty tips and diet that I find interesting enough to be shared with you. Hope you enjoy it!
