体重超标的日当地方当局官员颠末三個月的“军人餐”减肥，终究樂成瘦身。

日本西部的伊势市市长及六名当局官员组成為了一個“新陈代谢七军人团”(得名于黑泽明的片子《七军人》)，配合应答所谓的“代谢综合症”，其详细表示為腹部肥胖、高血压和高胆固醇等。

不外其别人仍對峙完成為了這一康健饮食與熬炼相连系的减肥规划。

這项规划于上周四竣事，森下隆夫市长减掉了5.6千克(12磅)，腰围降至85厘米(33英寸)，比以前小了5厘米。别的，另有最少两名官员“军酸痛貼布,人餐”减肥樂成，其别人的减肥成果今朝還没有颁布。

本年年头，日本卫生省的两名男性官员撰写博客，记实他们的减肥進程。與此同時，专為正在减肥的中年男性設計的紧身内裤和“健技艺機”也呈現在日本市场上。
