Last December, during the preparation period for the World Baseball Classic (WBC), which he won in March of this year, he posted a text on his NOTE page titled “Almonds on ketogenic diet. The content of the post was quite aged. The content of the post was quite aged.

Takuya Miura, 39, the creator of the “Miura-style diet,” an advanced version of the ketogenic diet that originated in the United States and is centered on a sugar-free diet, and the author of “7-day Eat Only Diet to Lose Weight on Your Own with Convenience Store Meals. (39) is a professional dieter who has guided more than 1,000 dieters. First of all, what is the “ketogenic diet”?

The ketogenic diet is a diet that thoroughly restricts carbohydrates and includes the consumption of high-quality oils such as MCT oil. The raw materials used to produce energy to power the body are either carbohydrates or body fat. There is a priority order in which these raw materials are used, and carbohydrates are used first. Only when carbohydrate stores are depleted is body fat burned. By restricting carbohydrates, the fat-burning switch is turned on and weight loss occurs. Even if you do not exercise or fast, you will lose weight even if you eat three solid meals.

The nutritional balance during the ketogenic diet should be such that the balance of the three major nutrients (Protein, Fat, and Carbohydrate) in the calorie intake is 2:7:1. This diet is said to be less likely to make you hungry because these two hormones support the secretion of a hormone called satiety hormone, which suppresses hunger.

It may seem quite difficult to research the nutrients in food and work out the ratio of each, but in the case of the Miura diet, which Miura devised, the menu consists of foods that can be procured at convenience stores for seven days. Miura says that by simply following the diet, one can easily lose weight.

Many people lose an average of 2 to 3 kg in about 3 days, There is also a person who lost 9 kg after 2 months of eating the same diet.

　The reason why the weight loss is so easy and short-lived is that most of it is actually water. For every 1 g of carbohydrate, 3 g of water adheres to it. By cutting sugar out of the diet thoroughly, that water also drops off, which means that swelling is eliminated and weight is reduced. But in dieting, we believe that losing weight in the initial stage is very important to maintain motivation. After that, the fat-burning switch kicks in, and the weight slowly comes off.
