【年齢>体重。驚きの食事効果・ダイエット進化】

　今回の検査入院による「効用」として驚いているのが、食事コントロールによるダイエット効果。昨年５月の入院時以降、取り組んでいたダイエット作戦によって、血液検査時の各種数値、HbA1cなどは劇的に改善されてきていましたが、食事の方はどうしても意思の決定的な弱さから、ついつい食べ過ぎが始まって、徐々に体重増加が見られていた。
　それがふたたびショック療法のように写真のような制限食に遭遇して数日、自分でもすぐに体感できるほどにスッキリ感に満たされてくるではありませんか！
　で、退院後、昨日朝食運動後計量してみたら、昨年５月以降でも最少体重になっていた。人生時間でながく年齢数字を上回っていた体重数字が、ついに幼年期以来、いや生まれてこの方という歴史的逆転が視野に入ってきた！。まことに自分でも信じられない未体験領域に突入であります。
　制限食については、カミさんと娘が強い関心を持ってスマホ経由で、わたしといっしょに「食事栄養指導」の先生との相談に同席してくれて、あれこれと具体的に「どうすべきか」の実践的内容を打ち合わせ、質問などさせていただいていた。あ、もちろんわたしも同意しながら、そのご指導をありがたく拝聴させていただいていました。
　人間の命というモノは、この具体的な肉体の活動停止とともに儚くなるのでしょうが、しかしその瞬間まで精一杯の努力・工夫は継続意志を持っているべきでしょう。この「福音」のような体重数字を奇貨として、その継続努力をさらに進めていきたいと思い始めております。そういう努力をときどき、忘れないようにするためにも、今回のような検査入院は有益。
　少ないカロリーで、どのように楽しく美味しい食習慣を営んでいけるかも、究極的に最重要な「生存戦略」だろうとも思えますね。やるぞ！

[Age>weight. Amazing dietary effects and diet evolution]
The post-discharge diet of May last year was effective, but the stimulus of the test hospitalisation was introduced when the diet was somewhat stagnant. Is weight loss a positive life strategy? ...

　One of the ‘benefits’ of this hospitalisation is the surprising effect of weight loss through diet control. The diet strategy I had been working on since my hospitalisation in May last year had dramatically improved my various blood test values, HbA1c, etc. However, due to the decisive weakness of my will, I had inevitably started overeating when it came to food and was gradually gaining weight.
　After a few days of encountering the restricted diet as shown in the picture, as if it were shock therapy again, I was filled with a sense of refreshment that I could immediately feel myself!
　So, after leaving hospital, I weighed myself yesterday after breakfast exercise and found that I was at my lowest weight since May last year. The weight figure, which had exceeded my age figure for a long time in my life time, is finally on the verge of a historical reversal, the first time since childhood (!). I can't believe it. I am entering a new realm that I can't believe I've never experienced before.
　My wife and daughter were very interested in the restricted diet and attended the consultation with the nutritional guidance doctor via smartphone, where we discussed the practical details of what to do and asked questions. Of course, I agreed with him and listened to his guidance gratefully.
　Human life will be fleeting with the cessation of this concrete physical activity, but until that moment, we should have the will to continue our utmost effort and ingenuity. I am beginning to think that I would like to use this ‘gospel’ weight figure as a chance to further that continuing effort. In order to remember to make such efforts from time to time, a test hospitalisation like this one is beneficial.
　How I can enjoy my eating habits with fewer calories is ultimately the most important ‘survival strategy’, I think. Let's do it!
