<p> Among various diets, the &#8220;ketogenic diet&#8221; is now attracting attention. It is popular among models and athletes because of its easy-to-achieve results. Among Hollywood actresses, Gwyneth Paltrow, Halle Berry, and Kim Kardashian are practicing this diet. It is also popular among athletes, and pitcher Yu Darvish is said to have adopted it.</p>
<p> 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 &#8220;Almonds on ketogenic diet. The content of the post was quite aged. The content of the post was quite aged.</p>

<p> Takuya Miura, 39, the creator of the &#8220;Miura-style diet,&#8221; 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 &#8220;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 &#8220;ketogenic diet&#8221;?</p>
<p><strong> 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.</strong></p>
<p><strong> 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.</strong></p>
<p> 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.</p>
<p><strong> 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.</strong></p>
<p><strong>　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.</strong></p>

<p>We interviewed two people who have actually succeeded in losing weight on the Miura diet. First, let&#8217;s take a look at Hiroki Koyano, who lost more than 16 kg without quitting drinking alcohol, before and after the diet.</p>
<figure id="attachment_338341" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-338341" style="width: 400px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="#" data-ident_hash="08388144"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/fridaydigital/image/private/t_article_image/wpmedia/2023/10/77bf2d6c8362a0486aae07b1c0b47b8c.jpg" alt=""></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-338341" class="wp-caption-text"> The photo on the right shows Mr. Koyano after his diet.</figcaption></figure>

Height: 178.9 cm <br>
Weight: 78.8 kg → 62.4 kg (-16.4 kg) <br>
Waist: 89 cm → 76 cm (-13 cm)</p>
<p><strong> I could eat everything except for high-sugar foods, and I was able to lose weight even when I drank alcohol, so honestly speaking, there was nothing particularly difficult about the diet. I enjoyed losing weight! Even now, I make it a routine to weigh myself every morning at the same time.</strong></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> The second is Kazucha, who decided to lose weight after seeing herself in a commemorative photo for her daughter&#8217;s graduation ceremony. To her surprise, she lost 38.6 kg.</p>

<p><strong> I studied the mechanism of losing weight by restricting sugar and nutrition with Ms. Miura. It was hard because if I relaxed a little and took sugar, I got a huge backlash, but I did my best without fail to report my weight, what I ate, and my workouts&#8221; (Kazucha).</strong></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" Natsu Ando also adopted the Miura diet."></div>
<div class="expapp-yahoo-paragraph-break"></div>
<p>In fact, Mr. Miura has held a dialogue in the past with Natsu Ando of Maple Chogokin. The following video dialogue is what Ms. Ando learned about carbohydrate restriction.</p>
<div class="expapp-no-provided-scope expapp-no-provided-scope-start"></div>
<div style="width: 1920px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-0-2" width="1920" height="1080" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://wpmediacdn.friday.kodansha.co.jp/app/uploads/2023/10/b1553b01c5bf6fde9321165d037b3a9d.mp4?_=2"></source><a href="https://wpmediacdn.friday.kodansha.co.jp/app/uploads/2023/10/b1553b01c5bf6fde9321165d037b3a9d.mp4"> https://wpmediacdn.friday.kodansha.co.jp/app/uploads/2023/10/b1553b01c5bf6fde9321165d037b3a9d.mp4</a></video></div>
<div class="expapp-no-provided-scope expapp-no-provided-scope-end"></div>
<p> Ms. Ando started her diet about a year ago, when she was on a 3-month diet plan at Crystal Noda&#8217;s &#8220;Crystal Gym&#8221; in Magical Lovely. In addition to muscle training, she implemented a diet review and had already succeeded in losing 14 kg.</p>
<p> Ms. Noda also recommends restricting carbohydrates, but she has lost even more weight by adopting the Miura-style diet. Ms. Ando is still working out, amazed at the grandeur of Mr. Miura&#8217;s concept of &#8220;reducing fat in society.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Mr. Miura himself has successfully lost 10 kg in one year by following this diet. Since then, he has not rebounded, and enjoys drinking alcohol and eating ramen once a week. What were her eating habits like when she was fat?</p>
<p><strong> When I was a company employee, at the age of 34, I gained weight and was diagnosed with a fatty liver during a physical exam. At the time, I was eating sugar-loaded meals: bread with sausage from a convenience store for breakfast, fried rice for lunch, and alcoholic beverages at night. I even tried a diet where I cut out carbohydrates only at night, but that didn&#8217;t help at all. I thought I could lose weight by exercising, so I went to a kickboxing gym, but the relief of exercising made me eat even more, and I gained 4 kg! At the time, I didn&#8217;t understand why I had gained weight. I was not feeling well, sleepy during the day, and always in a daze. When I drank alcohol, I had a terrible hangover, and my work efficiency was poor. That&#8217;s when I began to study dieting intensely and established my own diet.</strong></p>
<p> After discovering the ketogenic diet, he no longer has a fatty liver, and thanks to the suppression of wild swings in blood sugar levels caused by excessive sugar intake, he is now free from daytime sleepiness and his work performance has improved dramatically. It is also interesting to note that he no longer has to sleep twice or get hungover.</p>
<p><strong> I know many people use convenience stores, but all you have to do is change what you choose. I am not exaggerating, but my life changed when I discovered the ketogenic diet. The Miura diet does not end after 7 days, but from the 8th day, you can make the PFC balance 4:5:1 and just loosely restrict carbohydrates. Continue until you reach your goal weight. If you succeed on this 7-day Miura diet, you should be able to reset your appetite even if you overeat on vacation.</strong></p>

Mr. Miura also sells supplements and other products to support the Miura-style diet on his e-commerce site, Miura Takuya Shoten. Since the best diet for each person is different, he offers free diet consultations on line for customers of his e-commerce site.</p>
<p>Finally, we asked him what kind of person the Miura diet is best suited for.</p>
<p><strong> In addition to people who have failed at dieting many times before, we also recommend it for people with diabetes in some cases,&#8221; he said. It is not recommended for people with liver and kidney disease, for which high protein intake is not recommended, so please consult your doctor.</strong></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p>The Miura ketogenic diet is a diet that makes you feel less hungry and allows you to lose weight in a short period of time. It is well worth a try.</p>
