Your Weight-Loss Solution: Try Hari Hachi Bu

By James Beckerman, M.D. / February 28, 2011

Japan has more centenarians than any other country in the world and everyone wants to know why. While it is true that Japanese cuisine highlights fish and downplays dairy, two lesser-known cultural concepts may account for much of Japanese longevity and general good health.

The first is the idea of nuchi gusui, an Okinawan term that means "life's medicine" or "food as medicine." This is the concept that food is something not only to be enjoyed, but also to be thought about critically as medicine that is being taken into the body. When you pay attention to the health impact of food as you eat it -- its beneficial vitamins and nutrients as well as the negative side effects too much sugar, sodium and saturated fat may have -- it makes it a little easier to eat healthier foods. Thinking of food as medicine makes you more mindful of every choice you make.

The second cultural concept that may be worth borrowing is the Japanese practice of hari hachi bu. Hari hachi bu is the practice of eating until you're 80% full. It's that simple. Japanese people traditionally practice restraint as a matter of course, and they use this discipline to their body's advantage with respect to calories. We know from animal studies that consuming fewer calories is associated with a longer and healthier life. This would appear to apply to human beings too, when you consider the number of hundred-year-old Japanese folks hanging around.

How do you practice hari hachi bu? Try one meal at a time. Most of us can forecast about how much we will eat at a given meal, whether it is three slices of pizza, one or two helpings of mashed potatoes, or the full bag of chips. Choose one meal each day and make a determined effort to eat only until you are 80% full. Leave 20% on the plate or in the bag or the box. And then put it away until another time. You will be surprised at how much easier it is to limit calories when you are thinking about just one meal rather than a full day, a week, or a month at a time. All the same, the calories will add up.

Calif.'s AG asks court to lift gay marriage ban
State attorney general asks appeals court to allow marriages to continue while court considers constitutionality of ban

CBS NEWS / AP; Mar 1, 2011

SAN FRANCISCO - California's attorney general asked a federal appeals court on Tuesday to allow gay marriages to resume while the court considers the constitutionality of the state's ban on same-sex unions.

The request came after the California Supreme Court said it needed the rest of the year to consider a legal question the appeals court said it needs answered before it can resolve the case.

In her letter to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, state Attorney General Kamala Harris said the sponsors of the voter-approved ban, known as Proposition 8, were unlikely to prevail in their appeal to reinstate the ban that was struck down by a trial judge.

Keeping Proposition 8 in effect therefore violates the civil rights of gay Californians, Harris said.

"The public interest weighs heavily against the government sanctioning such discrimination by permitting it to continue," she wrote.

Harris also said the case for allowing gay marriage was bolstered by the Obama administration's announcement last week that it would no longer defend the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which prohibits the U.S. government from recognizing same-sex marriages.

While not directly relevant to Proposition 8, the administration's new position "substantially diminished" the likelihood the measure's sponsors will be successful in their effort to get the lower court ruling overturned, she said.

Lawyers for the two gay couples who sued to overturn Proposition 8 made the same request to the 9th Circuit panel last week. The court imposed a stay on allowing gay marriage during the appeals process.

Harris, who previously served as San Francisco's district attorney, succeeded Gov. Jerry Brown as attorney general in January. Brown had refused to defend Proposition 8 in his previous role, as did then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Same-sex marriages were legal in California before Proposition 8 passed in November 2008. The initiative supported by 52 percent of voters amended the state Constitution to limit marriage to a man and a woman.
