sure the lifestyle is different but if you wanna eat a lot you still find many ways to get or stay fat.. I was there for vacation and it really seems like you walk a lot there which will allow you to eat a little bit more in general but you still have to be careful in my opinion because the food is very nice there

Re:Overweight 13 Years, 12 Months ago Karma: 0  
I for one am overweight, and I like to walk every where if I can and I know that will be a good part of getting fit, but I would love to know is the food over there mainly rice and fish and some nuts... I know there are other stuff but how hard is it to get more healthy food that I like, like apples, bannanas, wholemeal bread, veg for rost dinner/tea and more?

Thinking of food is making me rather hungry!

I wonder about the opposite.
I ve experienced it again and again that Japanese (esp. young) women are really obsessed with their weight and being skinny.
It seems to be a " trend" lately in all industrialized countries but due to their staple diet and genetic factors the majority is already really slim- but still they get encouraged through advertisment/media in general to loose weight.
Is it considered to be cute being as skinny as possible?
Are anorexia/eating disorders there a taboo topic like other mental disorders?
Are there any specialized clinics for people to recover from this illness?
