ROAD TO LOSING 10KG

When focusing on weight loss, it’s easy to feel guilty about indulging in rich foods like unagi. However, I’ve learned that incorporating occasional indulgences mindfully can actually support long-term success. Unagi, or freshwater eel, is rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which can help keep you full and support metabolism. For example, enjoying a chirashi bowl—like the one I ordered from Tora San containing sashimi and unagi on white rice—provides a satisfying balance of nutrients and texture. Despite the calorie count (in this case, 1179 kcal), pairing such meals with careful portion control and regular activity helped me steadily lose weight, now at 55.5 kg. Key is to not let perfect nutrition become a barrier to enjoyment. I found that planning my meals around my indulgences, keeping track of calories, and listening to my body’s hunger cues allowed me to feel nourished and motivated. If you’re on a weight loss journey, consider unagi as a tasty protein option and remember that occasional indulgences don’t derail progress—rather, they can make the process sustainable and enjoyable.
