So it's been nearly 4 years since this video was posted and I followed the advice at 4:05, I ate for exactly 8 hours every day, I'm now tipping the scales at 155kg, thanks Chris.

[@jonhkennedy5726]

Hey how is your weight nowadays? Hoping for the best 🤞

[@MrCwaniaczek]

"I had a revelation, whilst staring at the wall" That made my day xD

[@HistoryTwistedInc]

Wait a second. The channel name.... "Abroad in Japan" His last name is Broad "A Broad in Japan" Excuse me while I pick my brain up off the floor. (Am I late to the punch here?)

[@AbroadinJapan]

Haha, congratulations for making it into the elite group of people who've noticed this (genuinely! its actually quite a small group of people who've noticed haha)

[@HistoryTwistedInc]

Abroadin Japan Elite group, huh? Watch out peasants. I'm in Chris's Club for Gentlemen Who Found the Wordplay in the Channel Name.

[@Sammmmmmmm617]

Gibbles Ghotten Been knowing this for 2 years. Scrubs :P XD

[@Tom_-]

Chris Broad? Wait, where does it ever mention his surname? Where did I miss that?

[@clarkesylvester4255]

jorjo it's like "A Broad in Japan" like "A - insert common surname - in -country-" for example with my name, "A Sylvester in Canada" but it would be so much better if he were a woman so it would be a triple score.

"More cigarette. Bad Life." - A Wise Japanese Man 2014

[@AbroadinJapan]

Another quote to be stuck on a t-shirt

[@lockergr]

The cigarette thing was the most honest thing in the entire video. I really didn't think he was going to say that but had much respect when he admitted it!

[@Zyo117]

I legitimately thought he'd said butt life

[@grubbybum3614]

It's true tho. Cigarettes help you abstain from eating.

[@JW93581]

If Natsuki says it's fish meat... It's fish meat. You don't question Natsuki.

[@AbroadinJapan]

haha, this is absolutely true

I just wanted to let you know that I've been watching your videos for as long as I can remember. You are hilarious and just absolutely ridiculously awesome. I hope to some day live in Japan just like you.

[@AbroadinJapan]

Thank you for being an awesome supporter! Folks like you are the reason I enjoy making these videos! Best of luck in moving to Japan!

Same. Found this channel 2 months ago and have been binging the content since.

Feels like we're back to this stage, guys. Let's see if current Chris can defeat his uncontrollable desire for fried chicken better than 2014 version of him. Let's go!

[@Inakablues]

7:20 Did the guy start singing the" star spangled banner" while poking a sausage with the japanese flag? lmao

[@AbroadinJapan]

Yeah, he has a bizarre habit of singing it in situations completely random and unrelated situations haha

[@Jts441]

Kate Howat totally noticed that too

[@Inakablues]

Abroadin Japan Time to unplug from the Matrix :)

[@ssgearmyveteranforever3025]

I found I lost most of my weight while in Japan by running from one train platform to another. Also I believe Tokyo has the most stairs to climb than any other large metropolitan area I have ever visited. The escalators always seem to go down but hardly ever up. I lost a little over twelve pounds in the two weeks I stayed in Tokyo. I need to return so I can lose some more weight.

[@AbroadinJapan]

Haha I totally agree with the stairs comment Every time I'm in Tokyo it feels like a full-blown work out commuting around the city haha

[@bruhder5854]

Controlling your diet and just going and down the stairs is actually a fantastic way to lose weight.

[@BigBetzen]

I always appreciate the amount of detail you put into editing these videos dude!

[@hotgiial101]

I love your editing style, it makes it so much funnier!

[@bffmcowolf3393]

Coming from an Italian family, I find it unutterably laughable that you were not introduced to olive oil and vinegar salad dressing sooner. Italians pretty much drink that stuff from baby bottles straight outa the womb. Aside from that, I'm thoroughly impressed with your progress. When you said 10kg I laughed, but I really think you have the ability to do it. Also I hope you do because your dry British humor is right up my alley.

[@tSp289]

Yeah, Britain has some really great traditional food (believe it or not), but a really terrible food culture. Most parents don't know how to cook, and so they don't teach their kids, and they buy crappy tasteless junk food instead of making something decent. In school I got taught 'food technology' instead of cooking. Luckily my mother got me and my brother to cook 2 nights a week, so I learned to love good food and cooking early on.

[@happydolphin1432]

Oh another Italian that thinks he is Experto en Food

[@demoncard1180]

One day, I'm going to go to Italy and drink olive oil out of wombs, like a true Italian. But I definitely agree with tsp on schools. My food classes were absolutely awful. A horrid fat lady with a nasal voice taught it, and she knew nothing of hygiene - she would dip her fingers into food to sample it. Her recipes were bland and boring, and she'd get terribly upset if anyone deviated from them. On one occasion, she made the class prepare toast with tomato sauce that might have been heinz ketchup, and made us review the toasts. I would disagree with the most parents part. It's cliche, but that's an example of bad parenting among some of the particularly poor working class - this way of treating children as pets, rather than future adults. The children don't want to learn how to cook, because they've been raised in an environment that beats into their head that they are stupid, and that if they went into the kitchen, they'd start a fire. I will freely admit this opinion is coloured by studying cycles of domestic violence, and the inability of parents to trust their children with any sort of responsibility and retain control on things they are relied upon for.

[@Kitora_Su]

That was sarcasm

[@Celestral]

Just found your channel and really enjoying the few videos I watched :) It's nice to see how you're making progress in living in Japan and having conversations in both English and Japanese with your Japanese friends! I lived in Kyoto for half a year but found it really difficult to meet people and as such led quite a bit of a sheltered life there and barely learned any Japanese. Your videos give me a bit of hope for the future. I might try again.

[@JonzzkuTv]

Oh man these videos are so great, very entertaining to watch. I really like how you've implemented those beginnings of these videos with that kind of TV-show like style. Anyways great work!

[@Sarsa78]

I've been living in Japan for 1 month and I've lost 2kgs. I was sure I'd find them soon or later, but after watching your videos I think I can keep a good pace here. Videos, editing and humor fantastic. No drama, no fucking annoying imature stuff as we can watch around here. Thanks for taking the time to share it with us.

[@spid3rmike117]

Out of all the things I can do with my day, watching a marathon of your videos with an unlimited supply of potato chips tops the list. All I can hope for now is an "Abroad in Japan" movie. Your friend Natsuki is simply awesome btw.

[@alexxx373]

I remember the 3 hour queues at Tokyo Disney (and another themepark we visited in Japan). We actually complained at Disney and they gave us a refund! Keep up the good work! :)

[@MoonlitBlad3]

PLEASE MAKE MORE man I love what you do please keep posting :-:

[@BigPuffDaddy]

The long awaited week 2 is finally here! Abroad-sama, re-watching your videos hundreds of times gets kind of old after a certain amount of time, I need new content good sir! Anyway, keep up the good work with the videos! I understand you are busy lol, I just enjoy them so I want more lol

[@protyOG]

So..you refuse to even google what a lentils is huh...I call that a lie! How were you suppose to get that picture then? Tell me i am curious. VERY CURIOUS!

[@AbroadinJapan]

I DREW IT.

[@protyOG]

Hello, what an interesting video blog! I'm coming to Japan in April for a student exchange, can't wait! started watching your blog from the very old video and now watched this, a very recent one and I would like to say that you look much better after living in Japan! :)) keep on going.

[@DanMahBoy]

Chris of the Japans that are abroad, I love your videos. Dude, you're freakin great.

[@jamesreilly7756]

Hey man your vids about Japan are awesome. I am in a similar situation, I live in Bangkok, Thailand am a teacher and similar age to you and was 15kg overweight. I tried everything but the 7/11 shops were just so difficult to resist. I was advised about prepping meals for the week to avoid being lazy about cooking. Buy about 30 small tupperware containers then make all your meals on Sunday, put them in the fridge/freezer, microwave and eat them about 4-5 times a day throughout the week. Always have a mix of protein, veg and carb in each container and try and do some weights or running every day after working. After 2 weeks I lost 6kg. No harm in trying right?

[@benavern7236]

Finally, It's been so long! I missed your awesome vids! I thought the lack of family fried chicken had killed you! Glad to see you back and keep up the awesome work! :)

[@shezario]

You wanna pimp your salad game ? sunflower seeds into a hot frying pan, muschrooms diced, a teaspoon of bacon (optional), season with balsamico vinegar and oil right in the pan >pour hot over salad. literally takes about 2-4 min to do and is amazing, you can also just add fried fish or whatever else you feel like to it. The rice diet alone should make you loose weight, while I was over there I stuffed my face with everything edible (aside from fastfood) and still lost weight, so did most of my friends.Stick to original japanese foods, they tend to be amazingly low fat and low on Carbohydrate which is mainly what causes weight gain also the snacks in between and late in the evening are much more likely to increase your weight and not the breakfast.

[@annat9194]

New episode!!! Yay~~ I just found your youtube channel not long ago. =) Been waiting patiently for a new one. I tell people I watch this fat British guy in Japan when I can't seem to focus on studying for my JLPT, haha. Told a cousin about your KFC in Japan video. Probably thinks I'm a bit crazy but to each their own. You're amusing and I can't stop laughing in the library while watching this, and disturbing others. Ah well!!! I also learned hiragana from this song: GReeeeN - 「あいうえおんがく♬」PV (メインヴァージョン） LOL! Don't know if you've heard of Greeeen. =) And good luck on your diet!! xD Thanks for keeping me amused =)

[@AbroadinJapan]

Hahahah "I watch this fat British guy in Japan" Best thing I've ever heard - made my day mate! ;-)

[@annat9194]

My friends are both on diets if it makes you feel any better. One is on a keto (Atkins - I think) diet and the other one is on a "normal," eat only healthy foods diet. They're on a mission to see which one is actually healthier =P Maybe you can do the Keto diet in Japan as meat is cheap there? It's vegetables and fruits that are expensive, ne? XD

[@INRamos13]

Abroadin Japan I used to hate lentils mostly out of refusing to taste them, or even acknowledge their existence. Then I tried them in a stew and they're actually quite delicious. You should try them, and if they fail to satisfy your tastebuds, then you can add me to your Mortal Enemy list.

[@CodyCloud]

Wow. You seriously look way better in this video! much healthier, you are an inspiration!

[@Jauffre-innit]

YESS!!! ITS FINALLY OUT!! I WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS, CHRIS!

[@Jauffre-innit]

also, i did a diet thing where i didnt eat carbs (it was a challenge for a donner kebab) and i lost 7 pounds in the first week. Although that is probably insanely hard in Japan

[@Sefearion]

I was eating a greased filled chicken burger and downing a can of coke while I watched this video. I'm pretty sure that is blasphemy...but damn does it taste good :)

[@karisenpaii]

Nuuu, breakfast is the worst meal to skip! It gets your metabolism going for the whole day and sets the energy. Fruit and oatmeal is some of the best stuff you can have for breakfast xP For weight loss (actually for anybody wanting to be healthy) it's best to eat a big dinner 4-5 hours before you go to bed. gooood lucckk I'm on the same boat as you! I wanna lose weight before I go to Japan so I can actually go shopping haha

[@gillianorley]

That whole idea about breakfast getting your metabolism going is flawed. You can easily go 20 hours between meals. Otherwise, believe it or not, adding a bit of REAL butter to your morning coffee does help keep you going. Preferably butter from grass fed cows such as Kerrygold Irish butter. Sounds crazy, but it tastes quite good and provides a good dose of heathy fat for energy without filling up too much. Only about 100 calories.

[@kaikokitosuris]

Carbs, not fat is what makes You lose more and feel energized! I talk from my personal experience :)

[@russodazonasul]

Fat, not carbs, is what makes you lose more and feel great. Fact.

[@kaikokitosuris]

Well, I guess it is what works best for each person then.

[@karisenpaii]

uh, the best best possible way to lose weight is to burn more than you intake. This is best done with veggies cuz they make you full a lot faster than most foods, but they are pure energy and cant be stored into fat as easily. It's not complicated that's been a fact throughout history xP

[@scottmcclendon3499]

[@tethler]

Glad to see you uploading again! Great video as always. Best of luck with the diet and the JLPT.

[@AbroadinJapan]

Thanks man, much appreciated :-)

[@kaikokitosuris]

Well, it could be harder to lose weight for more things: 1st: You're not that fat, so training might burn fat, but in addition grow the muscle, which weights more than fat; 2nd: You drink lots of water (tea, liquids), so I think You've lost much more weight up until now, but it's just a water weight, which is building up in Your body - try to use less salt, which retains the water. I guess it is possible to see the effect in a week or so. The most important thing for You is to enjoy this lifestyle. Also, awesome video as usual, thanks for that! Good luck!

[@AbroadinJapan]

i reckon salt is my downfall - I'm addicted to the stuff!

[@Avalanche272_]

There's one mistake I'd like to address, and that's the muscle weighs more than fat part. Muscle and fat weigh the same. If I were to ask what weighed more, a kilogram of lead or a kilogram of straw, the answer would be "they weigh the same". The problem is the following: a pound of fat takes up 4 times as much space as a pound of muscle. Other than that, I agree with the water weight loss, which is why the first one or two weeks usually have decent results. Something that helped me lose 15Kg in 2 months was simply cutting the amount on my plate in half and drinking more water, no exercise whatsoever because I'm a lazy bastard, in case you want to give that a try too (I'm pretty sure that I'll give your method a try once I'm done with my vocational studies). I think it's possible to lose the rest of the weight in 8 weeks, good luck man!

[@Avalanche272_]

generationutena I like to say "Weight is just a number" because of the reasons you stated. Someone can be 250lbs of pure muscle or pure blubber, be built like a brick wall or like a twig, therefore what matters is not how much you weigh, but where that weight comes from. Of course, there's toning and bulking exercises, which will either slow down your weight loss or even make you gain weight (which I believe you have mentioned), one will shed fat while keeping your muscle intact, the other will build muscle while also getting rid of some fat or none at all. In the end it all comes down to how healthy you are I guess.

[@gigglymanz]

Actually he's probably not gaining much muscle since he has to watch his calorie intake. Also, you will also burn off the muscle you currently have when running or exercising if you don't take in enough protein. calories, and carbs. P.S. Abroad in Japan, if you read this, eating DIETARY Fiber will help you lose weight because it'll make you feel fuller so you'll eat fewer calories. Just something you can try out if you want. Good luck!! :)

[@boofedaf]

Do you think so can link me to a copy of the JLPT papers that you have?

Love how the making of the most basic salad dressing sounds like a lifetime revelation to you

[@KenoxProductions]

It's been quite a while. Anyway, great video as always, Chris. And good luck on your diet, of course.

[@BrickBreakFTW]

The initial weight you lost probably wasn't real weight lose but rather water weight and the weight of the food in your stomach. You're eating less so those weights went down. This week i'm thinking that was real weight loss. You got rid of the excess and now it's time to get rid of the excess fat build up. My suggestion is take in less carbs. The weight you want to lose is the fat. Carbs are your energy source. When you have too much energy in your body it goes to storage aka fat. This may or may not help but monosaccharides are used first, then disaccharides, the starches. I recommend to eat less monosaccharides and more starch. Starch is basically a polysaccharide and takes more effort from your body to break apart into monosaccharides. This means that your body is using energy to get energy in return you're taking in less excess. Disaccharides are better than monosaccharides but not amazing. This doesn't mean you gorge your self on starches though. If you do start eating more starches you would still need to diet. Here's a website that has some examples: food.oregonstate.edu/learn/carbohydrate.html I would look into this more though because i'm not an expert but there are many websites that could be helpful: www.livestrong.com/article/540827-monosaccharides-polysaccharides/ authoritynutrition.com/low-carb-diet-meal-plan-and-menu/ authoritynutrition.com/15-reasons-not-losing-weight-on-a-low-carb-diet/

Tis impossible to diet in the UK, takeaways are too good and full of cheese.

Cheeeeeeeeeeese.

them chips m8

[@RSUnicorn]

luckily there's no cheese in japan CHEEESE

[@GenerallyPwned]

RSUnicorn That's what I thought, then I came to Japan. Not much cheese on it's own, but so much stuff that contains cheese. You can buy DEEP FRIED CHEESE at izakaya. Not meen here long but I've already put on weight haha

[@rossb654]

There are so many takeaways here. I visited Edinburgh a couple of days ago and I was reminded of how many fast food restaurants there are. The struggle is real D:

Same here man. But then again I don't eat breakfast cause I'm always heading to school half the damn time lol

Good quick breakfast suggestion: honey on toast and a banana. Get a good amount of energy out of it until lunch and it tastes great in the morning!

[@mav9504]

Uhmmm I heard that honey you buy in the store isn't.. real honey, unless the one you buy is organic, homemade or something?

Time is very different in Japan ;-) That and I wasn't able to edit for a few weeks due to being ill unfortunately

[@mediocre-motorcycle-modifi6818]

Being ill is quite an effective way of losing weight. Touché.

[@MegaAzulverde]

I just suscribed to your channel, i find your videos amazing and to be honest i can't get enough of Japan!, greetings from Texas! :)

[@Pluismonster]

Awesome! Keep going man!

[@patton34]

What does Natsuki do for a living? For some reason I keep on thinking he is a hair dresser .

[@AbroadinJapan]

Haha, that's probably because he is ;-)

Cut all traces of caffeine out of your diet COMPLETELY. Just drink water, I know it sound impossible but it boosts our metabolism as opposed to caffeine which slows it down.

[@robertryan3571]

Good advice! Caffeine is also highly toxic (so much so that industrial workers who produce it must wear protective suites--really!) and significantly raises blood-pressure. I used to drink a lot of Diet Coke and had high blood-pressure; when I switched to Caffeine-Free Diet Coke it fell significantly.

[@SeedNoctis]

Caffeine actually boosts your metabolism in the short term rather slowing it down but it wont have much effect on weight loss.

[@Peter-zv6yy]

I didn't know it slows metabolism down. Great advise, now I'm an ex-Red Bull fan

[@Quifuh]

It slows down metabolism? Well, looks like I'll have to start drinking coffee. I hate fast metabolism, so (more like TOO) easy to lose weight.

[@oof2843]

or just eat more carbohydrates and do more exercise.. its more healthier in the long run

[@sigmawalls]

Good Luck in all your endeavors!

[@jansydow2341]

i love your videos, your editing and your background music. criously

[@adamax08]

To be honest, dieting isnt that healthy for you. And cutting out breakfast isnt a good option! Better to cut dinner than breakfast. But anyways, all the best! :) Your videos are really entertaining

[@Luniii737]

This. He has to read this. Breakfast > Dinner You better go to bed with not much food in your stomach. If you're feeling the need of eating something as snack, do yourself some salad. But not right before your sleep. Else water/tea helps ofc. And you need a proper breakfast so you'll feel better in the morning too. BTW: Zero Calories tea.. Does that have artificial sweeteners in it?! It's quite unhealty if it has, just saying.

[@adamax08]

Luniii737 Yep. Most of the time, those "zero calories" drinks have sweeteners in it. Just like 0% fat jogurt. The companies promote it as healthy but in reality that stuff is full with sugar = calories

[@Luniii737]

adamax08 In reality there are several ARTIFICIAL sweeteners in it = no calories but sweet. There is some chemical shit in here that lets your mouth say that it's sweet but in reality it's not with real sugar. It's pure chemical trash that messes up with your body even faster than sugar the more you drink of this stuff. But marketing is so big, that people don't know about this and the amount of diet softdrinks they take into is just.. Well.. When they die with 35 cuz of cancer then it's quite high likely that these drinks caused that.

[@rossb654]

Sleep burns so many calories, so it'd be a waste not to have any to burn. If you have a nutritious dinner and skip out breakfast, you shouldn't have any hunger issues. ^_^

[@Luniii737]

rossb654 But the goal is to lose weight. And if you have nothing or almost nothing in your stomach, your body will start to eat your bodyfat or something like that (as far as i know...)

[@shishiromura]

Pro tip: eat less.

[@AbroadinJapan]

Haha, its a solid tip

[@dookey]

I really like all of your videos! Keep them up! :D

[@jadesmyth7000]
