Getting slimmer through breathing is the new secret. However, there are also skeptical voices about the Japan method, because side effects can occur.
Frankfurt – The enthusiasm for weight loss has taken hold of many people again and there are a wide variety of diets. Self-reflection becomes more accurate, and the path to Libra is often marked by disappointment. However, many associate permanent weight loss with strenuous diets and intense sports.
Scientists believe that this does not necessarily have to be the case. In addition to a simple home remedy that can help you lose weight, there are other alternatives. One of them is the so-called Japan method. Here's what's behind it:

Lose weight effortlessly with a clever strategy: Your guide to the Japan method
The actor Miki Ryosuke, who is mainly famous in Japan, has now also gained fame in Europe and other regions of the world – but not because of his acting performances. Instead, he claimed to have lost a lot of weight using a special method. Allegedly, he lost a total of 50 kilograms in this way within 13 days. This refers to the so-called "long-breath" or Japan method.
There are two ways to implement this weight loss method:
- First variant:
- Position yourself upright and perform a lunge.
- Keep your hips straight and shift the entire body weight to the back leg.
- Inhale gently for about 3 seconds, raising your arms above your head.
- Then exhale by tightening all the muscles of your body and doing this intensively over a period of seven seconds.
- Second variant:
- Position yourself upright and focus on tightening your muscles, especially those of the thighs.
- Place one hand on your stomach and the other on your lower back.
- Inhale for 3 seconds, pulling in your abdomen.
- Exhale for 7 seconds, trying to pull your abdomen in a little more if possible.

"Although it's not a substitute for exercise, it's a great first step for women who are just starting out on a workout plan, and deep breathing amplifies the benefits of any form of exercise," Marcelle Pick, a registered nurse, told Medicaldaily. Deep breathing exercises increase the supply of oxygen to the body, which absorbs nutrients and helps the body eliminate toxins, which can ultimately lead to weight loss.

However, not all professionals are convinced of the prospect of success of this weight loss method. Richard Godfrey, chief physiologist at the British Olympic Medical Centre, expressed significant concerns to the Daily Mail. Only intensive training can ensure effective fat burning. "Deep breathing and gentle exercise for 15 minutes a day will not burn enough calories to change body shape," he points out. If you exaggerate the exercises as part of the Japan weight loss method, it could even have negative effects, Professor Ian Macdonald told the newspaper.

The scientist at Derbyshire's School of Biomedical Sciences stressed: "Inhaling and exhaling too deeply can disrupt the balance between carbon dioxide and oxygen in the body, which is needed to neutralise the blood. This can lead to dizziness and even fainting." Therefore, the alleged weight loss trick should be used with caution. Exercise and a healthy diet are much less risky in this respect.
