"Cookpad Diet" developed by Cookpad is a program in which trainers with registered dietitian qualifications support one-on-one dieting. Since the service started in 2014, it has a track record of diet guidance for more than 8,000 people, and the success rate is as high as 83%.

The "Cookpad Diet Recipe" (Ascom), which contains the Cookpad diet method and recommended diet recipes, was released in April.


According to the book, the key to a high diet success rate is a nutrition-based way to "eat properly and lose weight." Below, I would like to introduce a few methods that overturn the conventional wisdom of "non-eating diet"!

◆ Can be used when eating out! Check the golden nutritional balance with "hands only"

The important thing in the Cookpad diet is to limit calories while taking a balanced intake of nutrients "protein", "vitamins", "minerals" and "carbohydrates" that help efficient fat burning and skin beautification. However, if you eat a lot of convenience store meals and eat out, it is difficult to properly measure the intake of ingredients.

"Hands only" has been proposed as a method to easily check the balance. Since the size of the hand is proportional to the physique, it is possible to grasp the amount to be protected to some extent.

For example, the standard staple food (carbohydrate) for one meal is one fist (about 150g (5.29oz)) that is lightly grasped for rice. For bread and noodles other than rice, the amount should be the same as or 1.3 times that of rice.


In addition, the main dish (protein) for both meat and fish is "one palm (excluding fingers) + thickness" for one serving. As for side dishes (vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber), it is said that raw vegetables for one hand and warm vegetables for one hand are recommended.


When I actually looked at my hands and chose at a convenience store, it was easy to understand what I overeat and what I didn't have, and I was able to naturally avoid bowls with a lot of rice and add salads.

The 103 recipes listed in the book are selected by the diet trainer according to the method from the recipes posted on the recipe sharing site "Cookpad". All of them are easy to make with familiar materials and you will want to try them immediately. I used to refer to Cookpad for how to use the surplus ingredients and daily menus, but there are also many healthy recipes ... I feel that the author of a glutton who admits himself and others can continue with this!
