10:00:31:01 10:00:33:29 >> My name is Craig Anderson.

10:00:34:01 10:00:36:19 I'm a 38-year-old

actor and filmmaker,

10:00:36:21 10:00:38:07 and I live in Sydney, Australia.

10:00:38:09 10:00:42:25 And though you probably

can't tell by looking at me,

10:00:42:27 10:00:45:05 I'm a little bit overweight.

10:00:46:25 10:00:50:29 This is my castle, my

fortress of solitude.

10:00:51:01 10:00:53:07 It's a combination of

creative art studio,

10:00:53:09 10:00:58:08 an open plan living space,

better known as a warehouse.

10:00:59:12 10:01:02:18 It's here that I pursue my

dream of being a filmmaker.

10:01:02:20 10:01:05:17 I write, act in, and edit

a lot my own material,

10:01:05:19 10:01:09:11 and this is where

the magic happens.

10:01:09:13 10:01:12:17 But being creative isn't

easy; it requires stimulation

10:01:12:19 10:01:14:05 of both the mind and the body.

10:01:14:07 10:01:16:16 And that's why I start

each day with a trip

10:01:16:18 10:01:18:21 to the local swimming pool.

10:01:27:14 10:01:31:13 All right; so this is the

warehouse where I live,

10:01:31:15 10:01:39:19 and I'm now driving

to the local pool/gym.

10:01:39:21 10:01:43:08 It's got everything, but most

importantly it has a shower.

10:01:43:10 10:01:49:13 And my warehouse only has cold

water shower, so every few days

10:01:49:15 10:01:52:04 in my daily routine is

to drive to the pool

10:01:52:06 10:01:55:02 and have a shower there.

10:01:56:13 10:01:59:20 This might seem inconvenient,

but it beats a cold shower,

10:01:59:22 10:02:02:20 plus it gets me out of the

house, which let's face it,

10:02:02:22 10:02:06:09 is pretty much my only

10:02:06:11 10:02:08:15 After avoiding weird

glances from people

10:02:08:17 10:02:09:25 who have actually

been in the pool,

10:02:09:27 10:02:13:00 I head home in time

for breakfast.

10:02:23:03 10:02:25:05 Another day, another burger.

10:02:25:07 10:02:28:26 In a typical week I'll eat at

least four fast food meals.

10:02:28:28 10:02:30:14 I don't know how much

of it's convenience,

10:02:30:16 10:02:32:16 and how much is addiction.

10:02:32:18 10:02:33:17 I'm not sure I want to know.

10:02:33:19 10:02:36:26 And when I do cook for myself,

it's usually just as bad.

10:02:36:28 10:02:40:22 I decided to keep a

record of my eating habits.

10:02:40:24 10:02:44:14 It's not pretty:

pizza, burgers, fries,

10:02:44:16 10:02:47:11 all kinds of sweets,

and gallons of soda.

10:02:47:13 10:02:49:23 And that's just in one week.

10:02:53:16 10:02:56:18 I know how bad this is for

me, but I can't seem to stop.

10:02:56:20 10:02:58:19 I've tried every

diet under the sun,

10:02:58:21 10:03:00:29 but in the end the results

are always the same,

10:03:01:01 10:03:03:10 the diet becomes

impractical to maintain,

10:03:03:12 10:03:06:21 and I fall off the wagon.

10:03:06:23 10:03:10:11 I know I need to change,

but I really don't know how.

10:03:10:13 10:03:14:04 Fortunately, the change

I needed found me.

10:03:14:06 10:03:16:25 Hang on, like the

country; Japan the country.

10:03:16:27 10:03:17:27 >> Yes.

10:03:17:29 10:03:20:12 >> No; I've never been before.

Please keep your shower as short as

possible.

10:03:20:14 10:03:23:22 A few weeks ago I was

contacted by my friend,

10:03:23:24 10:03:25:17 Tim, a fellow filmmaker.

10:03:25:19 10:03:27:17 He told me he wanted

to make a documentary

10:03:27:19 10:03:30:11 about the health benefits

of the Japanese lifestyle.

10:03:30:13 10:03:32:25 As someone who grew up in Japan,

10:03:32:27 10:03:35:07 he knows how different their

food culture is compared

10:03:35:09 10:03:37:05 to the typical Western diet.

10:03:37:07 10:03:41:00 His idea was this, send

someone to Japan for two weeks

10:03:41:02 10:03:43:18 to learn how the

Japanese live and eat.

10:03:43:20 10:03:46:25 Then have them return home

and recreate that lifestyle

10:03:46:27 10:03:50:06 for a further ten weeks, and

see what effect this three-month

10:03:50:08 10:03:52:09 Japanese diet has

on their health.

10:03:52:11 10:03:56:04 For some reason he

thought of me;

10:03:56:06 10:03:58:02 probably because

of my good looks.

10:03:58:04 10:04:02:09 After talking to Tim,

I did a little research

10:04:02:11 10:04:03:19 on Japanese health.

10:04:03:21 10:04:08:19 I found out that they had some

of the lowest rates of obesity

10:04:08:21 10:04:12:19 and heart disease in

the developed world.

10:04:12:21 10:04:15:23 They also have a

very low cancer rate.

10:04:17:11 10:04:19:18 The weird thing is they don't

seem to skimp on their meals.

10:04:19:20 10:04:22:17 They're eating all the time, and

it's a part of their culture.

10:04:22:19 10:04:25:14 So how is it a nation

that's so devoted

10:04:25:16 10:04:28:11 to stuffing their faces

is amongst the healthiest?

10:04:28:13 10:04:30:26 What is it about their diet and

lifestyle that lets them live

10:04:30:28 10:04:33:07 such long and healthy lives?

10:04:33:09 10:04:34:18 I was intrigued.

10:04:34:20 10:04:37:13 So I told Tim I was in.

10:04:39:01 10:04:42:05 there were a few things

I had to take care of.

10:04:43:18 10:04:45:02 >> Okay; are we ready?

10:04:45:04 10:04:46:03 >> Yes; I love this.

10:04:46:05 10:04:46:20 >> Okay.

10:04:46:22 10:04:47:07 >> All right.

10:04:47:09 10:04:47:18 >> All right.

10:04:47:20 10:04:48:02 >> Okay.

10:04:48:04 10:04:49:26 >> Just very still

for; thank you.

10:04:49:28 10:04:51:11 >> Yes, all right.

10:04:51:13 10:04:52:16 >> Great.

10:04:52:18 10:04:54:28 >> I'm doing some medical

tests before I leave

10:04:55:00 10:04:57:14 to get a snapshot of

my overall health.

10:04:57:16 10:05:00:12 Once the diet is over, I'll

come back and do the same tests,

10:05:00:14 10:05:02:00 and compare the results.

10:05:02:02 10:05:03:27 This should provide

a very clear picture

10:05:03:29 10:05:07:28 of what effect the diet

has had on my body.

10:05:08:00 10:05:09:19 How is my health in general?

10:05:09:21 10:05:11:17 Obviously, it's not the best.

10:05:11:19 10:05:13:04 >> We've got your baseline here,

10:05:13:06 10:05:15:28 and there were some

areas of concern.

10:05:16:00 10:05:20:23 The most obvious one is this

red number here, for GGT,

10:05:20:25 10:05:23:04 and that is a liver enzyme.

10:05:23:06 10:05:27:21 This particular enzyme lives

inside a healthy liver cell

10:05:27:23 10:05:30:26 and does its toxic

waste recycling job.

10:05:30:28 10:05:33:29 When that liver cell is

damaged, it releases this

10:05:34:01 10:05:36:08 into the bloodstream,

and then we measure it.

10:05:36:10 10:05:39:26 And yours has come back out of

the reference range for that.

10:05:39:28 10:05:40:23 >> Out of reference?

10:05:40:25 10:05:41:26 >> Absolutely.

10:05:41:28 10:05:44:03 Yours is high out of range;

10:05:44:05 10:05:47:14 and that would indicate

an excessive inflammation

10:05:47:16 10:05:48:07 of your liver.

10:05:48:09 10:05:50:11 That can be due to

a lot of reasons,

10:05:50:13 10:05:53:19 but sometimes just

carrying extra weight,

10:05:53:21 10:05:57:26 and perhaps having a very high

refined sugar diet will actually

10:05:57:28 10:06:01:23 promote that extra demand on the

liver, damage those liver cells,

10:06:01:25 10:06:04:16 and then show this sort

of result on a blood test.

10:06:13:26 10:06:15:29 >> This diet is about

more than just weight,

10:06:16:01 10:06:18:16 it's about improving my health.

10:06:18:18 10:06:21:16 That's why I'm doing

this bio impedance test.

10:06:21:18 10:06:24:24 Developed by NASA, the test

measures the biological age

10:06:24:26 10:06:27:28 of the patient, and I think

I'll be personally surprised

10:06:28:00 10:06:30:01 with the results.

10:06:30:03 10:06:32:18 >> The healthy body

weight for you should sit

10:06:32:20 10:06:35:13 between that red line

there, around 72,

10:06:35:15 10:06:37:01 [laughter] up to about 75.

10:06:37:03 10:06:39:18 And unfortunately

this is you here.

10:06:39:20 10:06:41:00 >> I look like the timeline.

10:06:41:02 10:06:45:02 >> Just a little bit overweight,

so that's something [laughter]

10:06:45:04 10:06:46:23 that needs to be looked at.

10:07:06:12 10:07:09:12 My exam results weren't

10:07:09:14 10:07:11:15 Here's how I shape up.

10:07:11:17 10:07:14:29 I weigh a whopping 138 kilos,

10:07:15:01 10:07:17:17 and although I'm only 38

years old, I have the liver

10:07:17:19 10:07:20:25 of a 64-year-old heavy drinker.

10:07:20:27 10:07:23:17 My high process sugar

diet has caused my liver

10:07:23:19 10:07:25:18 to have serious inflammation.

10:07:25:20 10:07:26:20 And the enzyme levels

10:07:26:22 10:07:29:00 on the liver function

test were completely

10:07:29:02 10:07:31:08 out of reference range.

10:07:31:10 10:07:34:21 I'm also at risk of future

cardiovascular disease,

10:07:34:23 10:07:37:18 particularly heart

attacks and strokes.

10:07:37:20 10:07:40:12 There's a thing called a

C-reactive protein level,

10:07:40:14 10:07:43:17 which is a good indicator

of cardiovascular risk.

10:07:43:19 10:07:46:10 Ideally, you want

to score below one.

10:07:46:12 10:07:49:13 Mine is at four point six.

10:07:49:15 10:07:51:12 And speaking of unhealthy

numbers,

10:07:51:14 10:07:53:28 my insulin level is at 36.

10:07:54:00 10:07:56:19 Ideally it should be

below ten, which means I'm

10:07:56:21 10:08:00:13 on the fast track

to type II diabetes.

10:08:00:15 10:08:03:22 All this information has just

is doing to my body.

10:08:06:12 10:08:10:13 As someone who doesn't have much

experience with Japanese food,

10:08:10:15 10:08:12:10 or healthy food in general,

10:08:12:12 10:08:14:24 I need a little guidance

before I leave.

10:08:14:26 10:08:18:01 So I'm seeing a dietician to

get some advice on what to eat,

10:08:18:03 10:08:21:19 and what to avoid

eating whilst in Japan.

10:08:21:21 10:08:24:23 >> The Japanese have a wonderful

way of eating very close

10:08:24:25 10:08:29:17 to nature, and they eat

primarily a plant-based diet.

10:08:29:19 10:08:33:09 And it will be easy,

as far as I'm aware,

10:08:33:11 10:08:36:23 for you to eat a much

healthier diet in Japan.

10:08:36:25 10:08:40:28 So let's have a look at the

foods you encounter to Japan.

10:08:41:00 10:08:43:14 We have fish here,

we have salad,

10:08:43:16 10:08:45:10 particularly seaweed salad.

10:08:45:12 10:08:47:04 Don't make that face.

10:08:47:06 10:08:47:18 >> What face?

10:08:47:20 10:08:47:22 [Laughs]

10:08:47:24 10:08:49:06 >> Seaweed salad

is so good for you.

10:08:49:08 10:08:50:01 It's great.

10:08:50:03 10:08:50:28 >> Sure, sure.

10:08:51:00 10:08:52:29 >> It's really good for you.

10:08:53:01 10:08:58:05 We have a little bit of rice,

some tofu, a Japanese omelette.

10:08:58:07 10:08:59:19 The other thing that I love

10:08:59:21 10:09:02:17 about this diet that's

particular

10:09:02:19 10:09:05:10 for Japan are the

fermented foods.

10:09:05:12 10:09:07:18 When you ferment a food, not

only do you make it easier

10:09:07:20 10:09:10:13 for your body to absorb it,

and therefore get the nutrients

10:09:10:15 10:09:13:10 from it, but it also

increases the bioavailability

10:09:13:12 10:09:14:10 of the bacteria.

10:09:14:12 10:09:18:16 So it increases our vitamin

K2, which is really important

10:09:18:18 10:09:21:08 for the absorption of

your vitamin D. And so

10:09:21:10 10:09:24:03 in your diet plan here, we're

going to include several

10:09:24:05 10:09:27:01 of them every day;

natto being one of them.

10:09:27:03 10:09:28:18 Have you come across natto?

10:09:28:20 10:09:30:17 >> No; natto is the one

10:09:30:19 10:09:34:29 that people have told me

is a little displeasing,

10:09:35:01 10:09:35:20 [laughter] so to speak.

10:09:35:22 10:09:37:04 I'm ready for it, but --

10:09:37:06 10:09:37:25 >> Pungent perhaps.

10:09:37:27 10:09:38:17 >> Oh, okay.

10:09:38:19 10:09:39:01 [Laughs] And it -- yes.

10:09:39:03 10:09:40:28 >> I think you can

get used to anything.

10:09:41:00 10:09:41:22 >> Okay.

10:09:41:24 10:09:45:08 >> And I think in terms of

the increase of vitamin K2

10:09:45:10 10:09:46:27 that it's going to

bring into your body,

10:09:46:29 10:09:48:26 I think we should

get used to it.

10:09:48:28 10:09:52:23 [Laughter] Another thing I'd

like to make an amendment

10:09:52:25 10:09:55:05 to your current diet is

the coffee that you drink.

10:09:55:07 10:09:56:24 Can you swap it for green tea?

10:09:56:26 10:09:57:00 >> Yes, yes.

10:09:57:02 10:09:59:16 >> And you could

have four to six cups

10:09:59:18 10:10:01:09 of green tea a day no problem.

10:10:01:11 10:10:06:16 Green tea is amazing, it just

has so many different nutrients,

10:10:06:18 10:10:09:26 antioxidants, phyto-nutrients

in it that are going

10:10:09:28 10:10:12:05 to be really useful for us.

10:10:12:07 10:10:16:16 This is the size of your

stomach fully expanded.

10:10:16:18 10:10:20:17 So one fist is your plant-based

foods, whatever they are.

10:10:20:19 10:10:23:15 And your second fist half

and half, you can have rice

10:10:23:17 10:10:26:15 on one half, and the protein

food on the other half.

10:10:26:17 10:10:27:20 >> Okay.

10:10:35:18 10:10:38:06 The city of Tokyo

is overwhelming;

10:10:38:08 10:10:40:26 neon lights on every

surface, and thousands

10:10:40:28 10:10:43:03 of people bustling

through the streets.

10:10:43:05 10:10:44:03 Even late at night,

10:10:44:05 10:10:47:22 the sidewalks are

crowded with pedestrians.

10:10:47:24 10:10:50:22 I've been told the average

Japanese day involves a lot

10:10:50:24 10:10:51:19 of walking.

10:10:51:21 10:10:53:22 And seeing as though I've

already walked about a mile

10:10:53:24 10:10:58:09 from the bus stop to my

motel, I can believe it.

10:10:58:11 10:11:01:21 This constant daily

cardio is a key component

10:11:01:23 10:11:05:06 to Japanese health, and

something I'll need to adopt.

10:11:05:08 10:11:08:09 To help me, I'll be

wearing an activity tracker,

10:11:08:11 10:11:11:00 which will record my physical

activity the whole time

10:11:11:02 10:11:12:03 I'm here.

10:11:12:05 10:11:15:01 This will give me an idea of

how much walking I'm doing,

10:11:15:03 10:11:16:11 and how much I'll need to do

10:11:16:13 10:11:19:18 to maintain the lifestyle

back home.

10:11:19:20 10:11:21:14 Tomorrow my diet begins.

10:11:21:16 10:11:23:26 I am excited, but

I'm also nervous.

10:11:23:28 10:11:26:11 I'm 38 years old going on 64,

10:11:26:13 10:11:29:06 and if I can't make this

lifestyle change now,

10:11:29:08 10:11:32:06 I don't know how many more

chances I'm going to get.

10:10:38;00 Narration: Craig Anderson

10:11:37:15 10:11:40:16 All right; well I'm in Japan.

10:11:40:18 10:11:44:10 I arrived last night, and

I've slept here in a motel,

10:11:44:12 10:11:47:20 and I'm very drowsy and excited.

10:11:47:22 10:11:51:10 But this morning I'm going to

have my first meal of the diet,

10:11:51:12 10:11:55:02 Japanese breakfast

at the motel buffet.

10:11:55:04 10:11:57:20 So last night before

I went to sleep,

10:11:57:22 10:11:59:22 I went to a convenience

store and asked,

10:11:59:24 10:12:03:22 "Do you have chopsticks,"

or to be honest do you have

10:12:03:24 10:12:04:26 like chopsticks for people

10:12:04:28 10:12:07:12 who aren't very good,

and they said, "Yes."

10:12:07:14 10:12:14:10 And they gave me these; kind

of like children's chopsticks.

10:12:14:12 10:12:16:19 But they said it will

make it easy for me

10:12:16:21 10:12:19:07 because they won't

keep falling around.

10:12:19:09 10:12:22:27 So I'm off to breakfast.

10:12:22:29 10:12:25:29 All right; well it's

breakfast time,

10:12:26:01 10:12:28:24 and I'm in the buffet

downstairs at the motel.

10:12:28:26 10:12:31:19 And this is Western food.

10:12:31:21 10:12:34:03 All right here, this is

what I would normally have

10:12:34:05 10:12:38:27 for breakfast, pikelets and

pastries, sausages, bacon.

10:12:38:29 10:12:42:11 And because I'm at a buffet,

I'd probably have three

10:12:42:13 10:12:44:01 or four of these plates.

10:12:44:03 10:12:46:16 But that's not what

I'm eating today.

10:12:46:18 10:12:51:25 This is my first Japanese

breakfast, so I'm eating this.

10:11:40;00 Super: DAY 1

10:12:25;00 Dialogue: Craig Anderson

10:13:04:28 10:13:08:12 My dietician said eating

slowly will help me feel full,

10:13:08:14 10:13:10:11 and stop me from overeating.

10:13:10:13 10:13:13:12 So I've decided that for the

duration of this experiment,

10:13:13:14 10:13:16:22 I'm going to eat all my

meals with chopsticks.

10:13:16:24 10:13:18:27 And with my elite

chopstick skills,

10:13:18:29 10:13:22:13 eating slowly should

be a piece of cake.

10:13:24:02 10:13:25:28 My dietician also recommended

10:13:26:00 10:13:28:17 that I drink green

tea instead of coffee.

10:13:28:19 10:13:32:03 Apparently it's jammed packed

with antioxidants, vitamins,

10:13:32:05 10:13:33:27 nutrients, and all

the other things

10:13:33:29 10:13:38:05 that a usually healthy person

thought were disgusting.

10:13:38:07 10:13:41:17 I'll be drinking a lot of green

tea over the next three months.

10:13:41:19 10:13:44:10 So I've decided to attend

a green tea ceremony

10:13:44:12 10:13:51:11 to learn how it's traditionally

prepared and served.

10:13:51:13 10:13:59:05 >> [Inaudible Comment].

10:13:59:07 10:14:02:09 >> I've been told to

sit in complete silence,

10:14:02:11 10:14:05:00 as the tea master

prepares the tea.

10:14:05:02 10:14:08:05 It's kind of like waiting

for the barista at Starbucks,

10:14:08:07 10:14:11:25 except a little bit less

exciting, and I'm not allowed

10:14:11:27 10:14:14:17 to play with my phone.

10:14:23:14 10:14:27:14 >> Enjoy your tea.

10:14:27:16 10:14:28:01 >> Thank you.

10:18:52:00 10:18:59:25 Okay. [Laughs] Well, I'm in

Asakusa, and I left the hotel

10:18:59:27 10:19:01:16 and I'm going to move

into a house for a week,

10:19:01:18 10:19:04:21 but it's my job to

find the house.

10:19:04:23 10:19:06:28 Unfortunately, my

phone has died,

10:19:07:00 10:19:09:14 so good day for my step

tracker because I'm going to try

10:19:09:16 10:19:11:17 and find it by walking around.

10:19:11:19 10:19:13:26 The guy I meet today who owns

the house on AirBnb said,

10:19:13:28 10:19:18:07 "Follow the golden poo to start

with," so pretty sure that's it.

10:19:27:10 10:19:29:15 You know, unless there's

another golden poo somewhere

10:19:29:17 10:19:31:10 around here, but I'm

pretty sure that's it.

10:19:31:12 10:19:36:13 I followed the golden

Godzilla turd [phonetic]

10:19:36:15 10:19:39:06 across the bridge, and

after a lot more walking,

10:19:39:08 10:19:42:11 I eventually found the house.

10:19:46:13 10:19:50:28 That's the end of day one,

and it's been a good day;

10:19:51:00 10:19:53:21 it's been all Japanese

food today.

10:19:53:23 10:20:01:29 And I'm feeling good, but also

weird, a little lightheaded.

10:20:02:01 10:20:04:05 And I've gone to the bathroom

10:20:04:07 10:20:07:16 like four times to

push stuff out.

10:20:07:18 10:20:11:21 And I don't know if it's

just the difference in food,

10:20:11:23 10:20:13:26 like not being used to it here,

10:20:13:28 10:20:16:26 or if it's got to

do with detoxing.

10:20:16:28 10:20:21:02 Green tea all day, water

all day, I feel tired,

10:20:21:04 10:20:24:26 I've had a good day, may have

done like at least the amount

10:20:24:28 10:20:27:14 of walking that I was

supposed to have done;

10:20:27:16 10:20:30:09 and I didn't skip a meal.

10:20:30:11 10:20:32:12 So now I'm off to bed.

10:20:43:29 10:20:46:27 Today I'm off to the

outskirts of Tokyo.

10:20:46:29 10:20:48:27 The crew has arranged for

me to be a dinner guest

10:20:48:29 10:20:50:21 with a typical Japanese family.

10:20:50:23 10:20:53:19 If I'm going to stick to

her family will be able

10:21:00:20 10:21:02:21 to give me some guidance.

but satisfying,

10:23:43:01 10:23:44:20 and presented beautifully.

10:23:44:22 10:23:48:18 And best of all, they were all

made without the use of an oven.

10:23:48:20 10:23:52:06 This is a big plus, considering

I don't actually have an oven

10:25:27:12 10:25:32:05 It's not -- it's weird --

that is the weirdest texture.

10:25:32:07 10:25:36:09 It's so stringy, and wet, and

glue-like, and it does smell

10:25:36:11 10:25:39:09 like I've just finished

painting a house.

10:25:39:11 10:25:41:09 Okay, okay.

10:25:53:04 10:25:57:17 >> Nice. It may have smelt

like a ruptured septic tank,

10:25:57:19 10:25:59:22 and had the texture

of thick snot,

10:25:59:24 10:26:02:27 but the natto didn't

actually taste too bad.

10:26:02:29 10:26:04:22 It's definitely an

acquired taste,

10:26:04:24 10:26:07:12 kind of like a Japanese

Vegemite,

10:26:07:14 10:26:09:17 but it's a great

source of protein.

10:26:09:19 10:26:12:11 It's loaded with vitamin

K, and has been known

10:26:12:13 10:26:15:23 to reduce the risk of

cardiovascular disease.

10:26:15:25 10:26:18:11 It will never be

my favourite dish,

10:26:18:13 10:26:22:08 but I don't think I'll ever have

a problem eating it regularly.

10:26:31:12 10:26:34:00 Everywhere I go in

Tokyo I see food.

10:26:34:02 10:26:36:18 I feel like there's a restaurant

on every street corner.

10:26:36:20 10:26:40:09 The Japanese really are

all about their food.

10:26:40:11 10:26:42:19 And while there are

plenty of fast food joints

10:26:42:21 10:26:45:07 and greasy restaurants

throughout the city,

10:26:45:09 10:26:47:29 finding traditional

Japanese meals doesn't seem

10:26:48:01 10:26:49:03 to be a problem at all.

10:26:49:05 10:26:53:03 I've been eating at these types

10:26:53:05 10:26:55:24 of traditional restaurants

since I landed.

10:26:55:26 10:26:58:26 But the house I'm staying

at also had a kitchen.

10:26:58:28 10:27:01:24 So I think it's time to put

my new cooking knowledge

10:27:01:26 10:27:03:01 to the test.

10:27:03:03 10:27:07:06 But first I'll need

some supplies.

10:27:37:20 10:27:42:25 >> What the hell; okay.

10:27:42:27 10:27:44:11 Why is it so gluggy?

10:27:44:13 10:27:46:21 Okay.

10:28:07:07 10:28:09:07 >> Thank you.

10:28:18:16 10:28:20:18 I just bought the

world's sharpest knife.

10:28:20:20 10:28:22:13 It wasn't advertised as

the world's sharpest knife,

10:28:22:15 10:28:26:05 but as I was opening

I cut my thumb there,

10:28:26:07 10:28:29:03 and I tried to tape it

up, but it keeps bleeding.

10:28:29:05 10:28:35:17 But I bought a knife because

I need to cut some pickles.

10:28:37:02 10:28:39:11 Oh, that's great.

10:28:39:13 10:28:42:17 Oh, that's sesame

and peanut mixed

10:28:42:19 10:28:47:05 in with some seaweed

and some greens.

10:28:47:07 10:28:52:22 This I got from the supermarket.

10:28:52:24 10:28:56:06 It is to be put on top of rice.

10:28:56:08 10:28:58:14 It's like something

mixed with rice.

10:28:58:16 10:29:01:09 I only have a very small

amount of rice today.

10:29:01:11 10:29:04:06 I'm going to just

stick it on top anyway.

10:29:04:08 10:29:09:06 [Slurping Sound] Mmm; and

that's the miso from the packet.

10:29:09:08 10:29:12:14 Now, maybe it's because I

don't have a good palette

10:29:12:16 10:29:14:05 or I'm not used to it yet,

10:29:14:07 10:29:17:05 but kind of tastes exactly

the same as any other miso.

10:29:26:03 10:29:28:17 Unfortunately, there's a lot

more to the Japanese lifestyle

10:29:28:19 10:29:30:25 than just eating

delicious meals.

10:29:30:27 10:29:34:01 To discover what it is that

keeps this nation so healthy,

10:29:34:03 10:29:36:27 I need to experience the

different facets of their lives.

10:29:36:29 10:29:41:29 So today the crew has arranged

for me to spend an entire day

10:29:42:01 10:29:45:20 with a typical Japanese

10:29:26;00 Narration: Craig Anderson

businessman.

10:29:45:22 10:29:48:26 I'd only just met Kaz before

it was time to get moving.

10:29:48:28 10:29:52:00 I'm told Japanese

businessmen do a lot of walking

10:29:52:02 10:29:53:23 in an average workday.

10:29:53:25 10:29:56:22 Just finding out way into

the crowded morning trains

10:29:56:24 10:29:58:28 is exhausting.

10:29:59:00 10:30:00:29 I'm doing my best

not to slow him down,

10:30:01:01 10:30:03:26 but when nature calls,

you have to answer.

10:30:03:28 10:30:04:02 Sorry.

10:30:04:04 10:30:05:15 >> It's okay; okay.

10:30:05:17 10:30:05:29 >> Sorry.

10:30:06:01 10:30:07:23 >> That's okay, that's fine.

10:30:07:25 10:30:09:17 >> As we get close to

his first appointment,

10:30:09:19 10:30:13:01 Kaz relaxes a little

and we get to talk.

10:30:13:03 10:30:15:09 How old are you?

10:30:15:11 10:30:16:19 >> I'm 42 years old.

10:30:16:21 10:30:17:14 >> You look very young.

10:30:17:16 10:30:18:19 >> Thank you.

10:30:18:21 10:30:19:08 >> I'm 38.

10:30:19:10 10:30:20:23 >> You're 38?

10:30:20:25 10:30:22:16 >> Thirty-eight; okay but

do you think I'm older

10:30:22:18 10:30:24:12 or younger than I look?

10:30:24:14 10:30:25:10 >> Of course older.

10:30:25:12 10:30:28:18 >> Of course older.

10:30:28:20 10:30:30:13 [Laughter] Kaz has three

different meetings today all

10:30:30:15 10:30:33:24 across the city, and he'll

be walking to each one.

10:30:33:26 10:30:35:06 I'm trying my best to keep up,

10:30:35:08 10:30:38:06 but my short strides are no

match because of his power walk.

10:30:38:08 10:30:43:26 I have no idea how he

does this every day.

10:30:43:28 10:30:48:13 My feet are killing me, so I

am going to use my laptop bag,

10:30:48:15 10:30:51:00 which isn't a laptop bag

because I wasn't going to carry

10:30:51:02 10:30:52:13 around a laptop all day.

10:30:52:15 10:30:54:13 I did pack it with my

shoes, so I'm going

10:30:54:15 10:30:56:03 to stick these on instead.

10:31:01:27 10:31:04:05 Another meeting, a lot

more power walking,

10:31:04:07 10:31:06:06 and finally the day is over.

10:31:06:08 10:31:10:01 It's time to head

home; or so I thought.

10:31:10:03 10:31:10:15 Hey.

small bar called an "Izakaya".

10:31:37:09 10:31:39:22 It's a place where Japanese

businessmen often eat

10:31:39:24 10:31:41:09 and drink after work.

10:31:41:11 10:31:43:18 If there's ever a place

to test my dedication

10:31:43:20 10:31:47:13 to this new healthy

10:31:47:15 10:31:51:08 What type of food do they

make here; noodles, rice dish?

10:31:51:10 10:32:00:10 >> Some veggies, cucumber, and

some tomatoes, tofu, edamame --

10:32:02:18 10:32:04:04 you know edamame, right?

10:32:07:09 10:32:10:00 >> I have to eat Japanese

food to lose weight

10:32:10:02 10:32:11:29 because it's healthy food

10:32:40:22 10:32:43:07 >> Right. I'm surprised by

the range of food offered

10:32:43:09 10:32:44:19 in this small restaurant.

10:32:44:21 10:32:47:25 The teppanyaki dish isn't the

healthiest, especially compared

10:32:47:27 10:32:49:17 to what I've been

eating, but it's balanced

10:32:49:19 10:32:53:20 out with side orders of tofu,

edamame beans, fresh tomatoes,

10:32:53:22 10:32:57:06 pickled cucumbers, and sprouts.

10:32:57:08 10:33:01:13 When I went to the doctor,

they did tests to find

10:33:01:15 10:33:05:21 out what my biological age is.

10:33:05:23 10:33:14:23 [Laughter] Do you know what

biological age -- yes, okay, 64.

10:33:26:29 10:33:30:06 Tofu is another cornerstone

10:33:30:08 10:33:32:10 I've been eating it

with almost every meal,

10:33:32:12 10:33:34:22 and while it doesn't

taste bad, it's starting

10:33:34:24 10:33:36:11 to get a little boring.

10:33:36:13 10:33:40:07 But apparently it comes in many

different forms and flavours.

10:33:40:09 10:33:41:24 So today I'm travelling

10:33:41:26 10:33:44:06 to a traditional

style tofu restaurant

10:33:44:08 10:33:46:15 to sample their many dishes.

10:35:10:22 10:35:14:29 >> So tofu [speaks Japanese].

10:35:15:17 10:35:17:28 >> [Speaks Japanese].

10:35:18:00 10:35:20:24 >> Okay, yes.

10:35:20:26 10:35:25:25 I'm told tofu is a great source

of protein, calcium, and iron.

10:35:25:27 10:35:28:20 And though it's a bit bland

on its own, when you serve it

10:35:28:22 10:35:31:03 with these taste

sauces and condiments,

10:35:31:05 10:35:33:29 it's actually quite delicious.

10:35:35:07 10:35:36:02 Whoa.

10:35:36:04 10:35:37:00 >> Hot tofu skin.

10:35:37:02 10:35:37:28 >> Hot tofu skin?

10:35:38:00 10:35:38:03 >> [Speaks Japanese].

10:35:38:05 10:35:43:06 >> Ooh. [Laughs] Is that

off the top of this?

10:35:43:08 10:35:47:00 Yes; it looks like the

giant square off the top

10:35:47:02 10:35:48:19 of that, okay.

10:35:49:23 10:35:52:10 Do you want some?

10:35:52:12 10:35:55:19 >> No, no.

10:35:55:21 10:35:55:24 [Laughs]

10:35:55:26 10:35:57:27 >> You're fine.

10:35:59:26 10:36:00:23 [Laughs] Okay.

10:36:00:25 10:36:06:20 All right, here we go.

10:36:06:22 10:36:09:02 Okay, oh sorry.

10:36:09:04 10:36:12:03 Yes, mmm. [Clears Throat]

Once it -- [coughs] sorry.

10:36:13:01 10:36:16:29 >> It went -- [laughs] it's like

one big long strip of plastic,

10:36:17:01 10:36:20:24 or like -- I mean,

it's delicious, sure,

10:36:20:26 10:36:22:16 but it was like eating

cling wrap,

10:36:22:18 10:36:26:08 and it just was one big long

thing that was joined together.

10:36:26:10 10:36:28:26 So I digested it badly.

10:36:34:07 10:36:34:22 Oh, please.

10:36:34:24 10:36:35:06 >> [Speaks Japanese].

10:36:35:08 10:36:37:14 >> Yes, thank you.

10:36:37:16 10:36:39:26 After eating some more

of the hot tofu skin,

10:36:39:28 10:36:43:17 it was time to sample some of

the other dishes, tofu salad,

10:36:43:19 10:36:47:05 cold tofu skin, and

even a tofu dessert.

10:36:47:07 10:36:50:03 These tofu dishes sure

are tastier than the packs

10:36:50:05 10:36:52:21 of plain tofu back home.

10:37:06:17 10:37:10:15 Okay; it's morning time, and I

have made myself some breakfast.

10:37:10:17 10:37:19:17 And I have natto,

soybean, and pickles.

10:37:20:00 10:37:22:17 And I've got soybean because we

don't have a rick cooker here,

10:37:22:19 10:37:27:11 so I'm eating soy and

beans, probably not good

10:37:27:13 10:37:30:09 because they're both

protein; I've just realised.

10:37:31:16 10:37:34:02 [Laughs] Yes; but

that's what I'm eating.

10:37:34:04 10:37:36:18 And I've got some

green tea here as well.

10:37:46:05 10:37:49:02 My stay in Japan is almost

over, and I'm starting

10:37:49:04 10:37:50:29 to get a little worried.

10:37:51:01 10:37:53:25 While it's easy and

affordable to eat healthy here,

10:37:53:27 10:37:56:23 doing the same thing back home

will be a different story.

10:37:56:25 10:38:00:17 If I'm stuck in the middle of

nowhere on a film set all day,

10:38:04:21 10:38:08:20 I thought back to the start

of journey, and my dinner

10:38:08:22 10:38:10:02 with Yuko and her family.

10:38:10:04 10:38:12:21 She mentioned making her

children a bento box,

10:38:12:23 10:38:14:23 a kind of Japanese pack lunch,

10:38:14:25 10:38:17:07 which they took to

school every day.

10:38:17:09 10:38:20:23 I called Yuko, and she

arranged for her friend, Ryoko,

10:38:20:25 10:38:25:17 to teach me how to

make a bento box.

10:38:25:19 10:38:27:09 Oh, I know, I learned

this, gobo?

10:38:31:14 10:38:31:23 Oh.

10:38:31:25 10:38:31:28 >> [Speaks Japanese].

10:38:32:00 10:38:34:19 >> And we'll make a

finger puppet, no?

10:38:35:06 10:38:37:20 >> Oh, you turn it -- okay.

10:38:37:22 10:38:38:03 >> [Speaks Japanese].

10:38:38:05 10:38:38:19 >> That's amazing.

10:38:38:21 10:38:40:21 Okay; can I just --

10:38:40:23 10:38:41:03 >> Yes. [Speaks Japanese].

10:38:41:05 10:38:46:25 >> Yes; you make a hole

in centre, and then you --

10:38:46:27 10:38:47:19 >> [Speaks Japanese].

10:38:47:21 10:38:48:13 >> Yes? Okay, [speaks Japanese].

10:39:08:22 10:39:11:19 To be completely honest, I'm

not sure what I'm making here,

10:39:11:21 10:39:14:11 but I'm using the same

ingredients that Yuko used

10:39:14:13 10:39:17:03 for her dinner, so I'm pretty

confident that this is going

10:39:17:05 10:39:18:24 to be a healthy lunch.

10:39:18:26 10:39:21:23 We've boiled and

washed the spinach,

10:39:21:25 10:39:24:00 and now we've sliced it up.

10:39:24:02 10:39:29:00 And it's going into sesame

that I've just grounded up.

10:39:29:02 10:39:31:24 So this is tamagoyaki,

like an omelette.

10:39:31:26 10:39:34:04 Man, this is upper-level.

the bento boxes.

10:40:17:11 10:40:20:20 Like most Japanese meals, the

bento box consists of a lot

10:40:20:22 10:40:23:15 of small side dishes

and vegetables.

10:40:28:17 10:40:31:12 I've been in Japan now

for almost two weeks,

10:40:31:14 10:40:34:12 and I think that I've got

the food thing figured out.

10:40:34:14 10:40:37:25 I feel confident in knowing

what to eat, and what to avoid.

10:40:37:27 10:40:40:26 Shopping and cooking for

myself has become a habit,

10:40:40:28 10:40:44:03 and foods that I would

have eaten back home, tofu,

10:40:44:05 10:40:47:03 pickled vegetables,

green tea, even nato,

10:40:47:05 10:40:48:15 now feel normal to me.

10:40:48:17 10:40:50:22 And most importantly,

10:40:50:24 10:40:55:16 I'm keeping an eye

on my portion sizes.

10:40:55:18 10:40:59:22 All right, yes.

10:40:59:24 10:41:04:16 So I just lost my -- [laughs]

10:41:04:18 10:41:07:14 when I'm carrying

bags, it's good news.

10:41:07:16 10:41:11:29 We're heading to the temple,

but my pants have become looser,

10:41:12:01 10:41:16:01 but it means they fall

down when I'm not able

10:41:16:03 10:41:17:29 to hitch them up as I'm walking.

10:41:18:01 10:41:24:28 So yes, where do I

put this, how do I --

10:41:25:00 10:41:27:20 It's my final weekend

in Japan, and the crew

10:41:27:22 10:41:31:03 and I are spending it at a Zen

Buddhist temple a few hours

10:41:31:05 10:41:32:20 out of Tokyo.

once I get home,

10:41:39:26 10:41:42:13 I know this diet

will be a success.

10:41:42:15 10:41:45:02 I'm hoping a Buddhist monk

can give me some guidance

10:41:45:04 10:41:48:13 and help me stay focussed.

10:41:48:15 10:41:53:16 I have come to Japan

to ask you what I can learn

10:42:02:07 10:42:06:16 from Zen to be healthy,

what I need to do

10:47:12:00 10:47:14:08 But when he's outside

10:47:14:10 10:47:15:13 he'll drop into MOS Burger.

10:47:15:15 10:47:18:18 And I'm having such a great

time with this pumpkin.

10:47:18:20 10:47:23:02 Okay. This is what I made.

10:47:23:04 10:47:26:17 Yes, yes, nice.

10:47:43:18 10:47:47:11 With my Zen training complete,

it's time to fly home.

10:47:47:13 10:47:49:29 My journey here has

taught me a lot of things.

10:47:50:01 10:47:53:00 It's taught me that eating

healthy can also be delicious;

10:47:53:02 10:47:54:20 and that daily exercise

10:47:54:22 10:47:57:01 and portion control

can mean the difference

10:47:57:03 10:48:00:05 between slim and sumo.

10:48:00:07 10:48:02:25 Now it's up to me to

take this knowledge home

10:48:02:27 10:48:05:01 and apply it to my life.

10:48:16:03 10:48:18:13 Come on, go for a walk?

10:48:16;00 Dialogue: Craig Anderson

10:48:24;00 Narration: Craig Anderson

a little while now,

10:48:27:13 10:48:29:28 and I've been wondering how

to integrate what I learnt

10:48:30:00 10:48:32:18 into my daily routine.

10:48:32:20 10:48:36:00 Each day in Japan I was walking

almost twice the distance I was

10:48:36:02 10:48:38:01 before I started this diet.

10:48:38:03 10:48:40:23 And with a little help from

Malcolm here, I've been able

10:48:40:25 10:48:42:14 to keep that number up.

10:48:42:16 10:48:45:23 It's been great, and not just

for me, but for Malcolm as well,

10:48:45:25 10:48:48:17 because between you

and me, he was starting

10:48:48:19 10:48:49:20 to get a little bit chubby.

10:48:49:22 10:48:54:15 I've kept up my shopping habits.

10:48:54:17 10:48:56:21 And though the big grocery

chains don't have a lot

10:48:56:23 10:49:00:25 of the more obscure food items,

I found an Asian grocer nearby

10:49:00:27 10:49:03:14 that stocks almost

everything I need.

10:49:03:16 10:49:05:00 I visit them so often now

10:49:05:02 10:49:07:28 that the owner told me I

was his biggest customer.

10:49:08:00 10:49:09:20 At first I was flattered,

10:49:09:22 10:49:13:06 and then I realised

he was making a joke.

10:49:15:21 10:49:18:17 I have a good source for almost

all the ingredients I need

10:49:18:19 10:49:24:00 to maintain my diet, miso

paste, tofu, natto, fish flakes,

10:49:24:02 10:49:27:03 dried pickles, ume

plums, and konnyaku.

10:49:27:05 10:49:30:27 Some of the fresh veggies I

wanted, like daikon, gobo,

10:49:30:29 10:49:33:19 and bamboo shoots, are a

lot harder to track down.

10:49:33:21 10:49:36:29 So I have to make do

with what I can find.

10:49:40:02 10:49:42:12 I still need to spend long

hours in the edit room,

10:49:42:14 10:49:44:21 but I've replaced the

Coke with green tea.

10:49:44:23 10:49:46:29 And if I feel like

snacking, I keep plenty

10:49:47:01 10:49:49:04 of edamame beans on hand.

10:49:49:06 10:49:50:26 They're delicious,

high in protein

10:49:50:28 10:49:52:29 and vitamins, and low in fat.

10:49:53:01 10:49:57:13 Plus, it's a fun

word to say, edamame.

10:49:59:23 10:50:02:04 For the most part,

adapting the Japanese diet

10:50:02:06 10:50:04:29 to fit my lifestyle has

been a fairly simple

10:50:05:01 10:50:06:29 and painless process.

10:50:07:01 10:50:08:09 Keeping it up for the remainder

10:50:08:11 10:50:11:24 of my 12-week experiment

shouldn't be a problem at all,

10:50:11:26 10:50:16:24 unless something drastically

changes in my work life.

10:50:16:26 10:50:19:11 I've just checked my emails,

and I've got a job coming

10:50:19:13 10:50:24:01 up where I'm directing a comedy

show starting in like two days.

10:50:24:03 10:50:27:08 So that's going to

be a lot of work,

10:50:27:10 10:50:28:18 and I'm going to

be on-set a lot.

10:50:28:20 10:50:33:09 So I've been planning how

to do my morning rituals,

10:50:33:11 10:50:36:27 so I make sure I get my

bento box done in time.

10:50:51:00 10:50:55:02 I'm making my bento while I eat

breakfast just because I have

10:50:55:04 10:50:58:23 to save some time

in the morning.

10:50:58:25 10:51:05:06 And this is the plum that

I put on in the rice.

10:51:05:08 10:51:10:10 So that is my rice

component; done.

10:51:10:12 10:51:14:00 Now I'll make the good

side of the bento box,

10:51:14:02 10:51:15:29 because I'm not a

big rice eater.

10:51:16:01 10:51:17:15 I love this part.

10:51:17:17 10:51:19:11 This has got all the

protein and the vegetables

10:51:19:13 10:51:24:12 in it; konnyaku, carrot.

10:51:34:23 10:51:38:11 and avocado sushi

roll as a snack.

10:51:38:13 10:51:40:06 And I can't forget

about the miso soup

10:51:40:08 10:51:41:25 and thermos of green tea.

10:51:48:22 10:51:50:16 Aside from all the

extra walking,

10:51:50:18 10:51:54:11 I also like to start my days

now with some light exercise,

10:51:54:13 10:51:57:25 followed by my usual trip

to the local swimming pool;

10:51:57:27 10:51:59:14 but not just to shower.

10:51:59:16 10:52:02:05 Now I like to swim

a few laps first.

10:52:02:07 10:52:05:27 Swimming at a swimming pool,

10:52:22:20 10:52:24:13 directing is one of

my biggest passions,

10:52:24:15 10:52:26:05 especially directing comedy.

10:52:26:07 10:52:28:15 But lunch on-set

requires discipline.

10:52:28:17 10:52:33:12 The catered meals smell

good, really good.

10:52:33:14 10:52:37:17 Well, it's lunchtime on-set,

and everyone's got their lunch

10:52:37:19 10:52:45:08 that has been catered for; but

I've got my rice, and bento box.

10:53:21:19 10:53:24:00 over the past few

weeks has been hectic.

10:53:24:02 10:53:27:12 But through it all, I've

managed to stay true to my diet;

10:53:27:14 10:53:30:07 natto for breakfast,

followed by exercise,

10:53:30:09 10:53:33:00 then my morning stroll,

swim, and shower.

10:53:33:02 10:53:36:21 I prepare my bento box

daily to eat on-set,

10:53:36:23 10:53:41:27 and cooking meals has become

a part of my daily life.

10:53:41:29 10:53:45:21 This Japanese way of eating

no longer feels like a diet.

10:53:45:23 10:53:48:18 I eat every meal with

chopsticks, and drinking nothing

10:53:48:20 10:53:52:02 but green tea has

become second nature.

10:54:26:26 10:54:29:25 down from 64 years down to 55,

10:54:29:27 10:54:31:28 so you're a work

in progress there.

10:54:32:00 10:54:32:03 >> Okay.

10:54:32:05 10:54:35:09 >> And again, that result is

very dependent on the weight,

10:54:35:11 10:54:39:00 so the more weight you

lose, the more favourable

10:54:39:02 10:54:40:29 that result will be over time.

10:54:41:01 10:54:43:29 The other really good result

from a medical perspective is

10:54:44:01 10:54:47:24 that your abnormal liver

function tests are now normal.

10:54:47:26 10:54:51:03 The C-reactive protein is

the inflammation marker

10:54:51:05 10:54:52:10 that we looked at.

10:54:52:12 10:54:55:04 And you scored four

point six previously,

10:54:55:06 10:54:56:24 but it's down to two now.

10:54:56:26 10:54:59:16 And we know that the

lower that score,

10:54:59:18 10:55:02:28 the less cardiovascular risk

you have moving forward.

10:55:03:00 10:55:05:25 So if we look at across

the board, a reduced risk

10:55:05:27 10:55:08:22 of type 2 diabetes, a

reduced risk of heart attack

10:55:08:24 10:55:12:07 and a stroke, much improved

liver function test,

10:55:12:09 10:55:13:29 and your knees will thank you.

10:55:14:01 10:55:19:10 >> The doctor's consultation

produced some amazing results.

10:55:19:12 10:55:25:10 My weight is down from 138 to

114; a drop of 24 kilograms

10:55:25:12 10:55:29:07 or around 50 pounds

in just 12 weeks.

Weight

Before Diet: 138kg (304lb)

Current: 114kg (251lb)

10:55:29:09 10:55:33:22 My biological age is

down from 64 to 55.

10:55:33:24 10:55:37:14 My liver function test also

shows the inflammation is gone.

10:55:37:16 10:55:41:04 And my liver enzyme levels are

back within the reference range.

10:55:41:06 10:55:43:17 Also, my C-reactive

protein level,

10:55:43:19 10:55:45:04 the heart attack indicator,

10:55:45:06 10:55:47:29 is now a much healthier

two point zero.

10:55:48:01 10:55:51:16 And I'm aiming at a

perfect score of zero soon.

10:55:51:18 10:55:55:07 And finally, my insulin

levels are also down.

10:55:55:09 10:55:58:06 Before the diet, I

was on a scary 36,

10:55:58:08 10:56:00:27 well above the healthy

ten and under range.

10:56:00:29 10:56:05:15 It's now down to 13; and with a

little more work I'm confident I

10:56:05:17 10:56:07:17 can get it to under ten.

10:56:11:27 10:56:14:25 Living the Japanese diet these

past few months has had a

10:56:14:27 10:56:17:00 profound impact on my life.

10:56:17:02 10:56:18:14 And I'm not just talking

10:56:18:16 10:56:20:16 about the weight loss

and improved health.

10:56:20:16 10:56:23:07 It's shown me that

it's never too late

10:56:23:09 10:56:25:10 to make a positive

change in life,

10:56:25:12 10:56:28:10 and that I've got the

willpower to make it happen.

10:56:28:12 10:56:31:08 I've learnt that dieting

isn't just about food choices,

10:56:31:10 10:56:33:20 it's also about mindset.

10:56:33:22 10:56:38:06 I'm determined to continue my

journey towards better health.

10:56:38:08 10:56:42:00 My new lifestyle has filled

me with happiness and energy,

10:56:42:02 10:56:44:15 and because of that, I'm

also filled with pride.
