I’m hardly in the target demographic, but we, too, drink green tea with every meal and every night before going to bed. I also bring a thermos bottle with a green tea-bag to work every morning, fill it with warm water before I start of for home (I walk the first few kilometers) and have the tea while on the train home.

Not saying the tea has anything to do with it – we eat mostly Japanese-style – but I have lost 12 kilos since coming here.

I sit here, in the middle of the US, drinking my genmaicha and pondering whether to make a pot of pu erh. Good advertising!

Losing weight begins with a good breakfast. This is a message Americans are told from childhood through educational campaigns, commercials and from their parents. Yet somewhere between childhood and adulthood, many people lose this most basic lesson amid the hustle and bustle of a busy day. One study of 4,218 adults found that women who ate breakfast were much more likely to have a body mass index less than 25, which puts them in the healthy weight category.
