Absolutely love that purple juice blend you’ve got in the picture there, Neil. Used to drink it all the time.

Now that my back is sort of better, I started back in with the weightlifting routine last week, so I’ll be fighting the fitness fight along with you. Getting back on the weights has shot my hunger through the roof, though — I finished today’s bento (broccoli, green peppers, mushrooms, tofu and chicken chunks) then went out and ate a huge-ass bowl of soba topped with slices of duck. Needless to say, no dinner for me tonight…

Depending on the season and the fruit the price can vary greatly. i can get most things i want to eat pretty cheap so i can’t use that as an excuse. Will have a look around for that book, thanks.

I’m reading a book called Eat to Live, which basically encourages much more fruits and vegetables, cut out the red meat and limit fish; it doesn’t recommend chicken because it has the same effect on cholesterol as red meat. I’ve lost a little weight so far, but I feel much better. I’m only 30, but I’m very overweight, and I don’t want to die young, so I’m making the changes now.

I have heard that fresh fruits and vegetables can be quite expensive over there, but maybe the book would give you some ideas. There isn’t a Japanese version yet, but I’m sure some enterprising fellow might translate it some day.

Won’t be any radical changes mate, it’s just a matter of introducing some green stuff to the plate when we go to Yakiniku.

Good luck with the diet, Neil. If I hear of any really healthy restaurants in the new neighborhood, I’ll introduce you.

There’s always red wine. Probably not by the bottle, but a couple of glasses a week is supposed to be beneficial…
