I Eat Everyday

Since mid-March, it has been non-stop.   First, I had to finalize all the financial statements for my father's Japanese company. Like last year, I went to three different offices. The last one, I really didn't have to go because I went there last year to fill out a form indicating that the company cannot operate since my father hasn't gotten his business visa. Anyhow, everything took about 5 hours to complete, which isn't bad. Second, my brother came to Tokyo during the school holiday. He went with me on my days off. Then, soon after, my father came. So, I have my work. Then my days off were used by my father and brother. They wanted to go to new places. They hardly stayed home.   Third, during the school breaks, I run programs that I am in charge of.   On a positive note, I have been fasting every day. Taking lunch to work became so bothersome, so I would break my fast in the morning with a nice whole meal in the morning. I finish my eating window with either yogurt or...

     Getting home on Sunday evening from our Lunar New Year celebration, I started to feel sick. The funny thing is that I know what I ate that made me ill. It was the good old lamb meat.       Living in Japan, I mostly eat beef, pork, and chicken. Sometimes, I cook internal organs such as the liver or heart.       For the celebration, my cousin and his girlfriend cooked some lamb meat. I had a few pieces along with the famous buuz. Halfway through the dinner, my stomach started to bloat, and it began to feel very uncomfortable. Right then, I knew I was going to be sick.       I got home fine and started to continue working on the small gifts that I was making for my students, who were graduating in a couple of weeks. Slowly, my stomach started to act up. My visits to the toilet increased and I felt sick every time I sat in front of the toilet ready to vomit. After a couple of hours, it happened, everything that ...

So, I moved to Japan about 2 years ago for school. As a Mongolian, I love to eat, especially meat, and first I struggled with Japanese meat. Do not give me wrong because I know Japan is famous for its Wagyu and Kobe beef. HOWEVER, I prefer to eat Mongolian meat that comes from cattle that roamed the pasture and only consumed grass.  On top of that, I tried eating keto to lose some fat. I really struggled with finding ingredients that are low-carb, since Japan is a rice country. More on that later! So, in order to be accountable with myself, I created an Instagram account and started posting my food pictures, hence the photos for some inspiration.  During the last 2 years, I did keto on and off. Finally, I am starting to learn what I like to eat and how I should eat that is good for my body. Now, I tend to eat keto but I do not restrict high-carb foods like bread and rice. I live in JAPAN, the rice is very delicious!!! Hope you will join me on this blog and share your experienc...
