Moderate carbohydrate intake is key to losing weight in a healthy way.

We tend to think that cutting out carbohydrates will help us lose weight, but that seems to be a mistake. Cutting out carbohydrates will make you lose weight temporarily, but you will easily gain it back. Of course, eating too little food is no good, either. 

A diet lacking carbohydrates will result in your body producing more TG(triglycerides): neutral fat!!! That is so horrible, especially after all the effort you've put into trying to lose weight🙀💧💧💧


A balanced diet consists of protein, fiber, and carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for most people, and they are essential for promoting fat-burning.

If you eat too little, your body doesn't get enough nutrients and you'll end up losing muscle mass. If you can lose weight by eating a reasonable and well-balanced amount of food, you are definitely happier than gaining neutral fat after enduring a hard time by eating too little or without carbohydrates!

When it comes to fiber, seasonal vegetables, fruits, and mushrooms etc. are a fun way to enrich your everyday diet😌🍀

Eating a diet that is conscious of protein, fiber, and moderate carbohydrates will improve your proportions and make you healthier...happier💕 I am also practicing and realizing this.

May you be kind to yourself in a positive way, Rose

I searched for my blog on ChatGPT and was impressed by the insightful content it produced.

A Google search of my blog, Charmed by Michigan, does not yield any hits. That's a shame...😔
Yesterday, I discovered that someone had come to my blog via ChatGPT. So I gave it a try too. I typed [Charmed by Michigan  blogger] into the ChatGPT search window. Then, surprisingly, ChatGPT presented me with the search results for my blog. My blog got a hit in a search!
My heart was truly delighted by how ChatGPT captured my blog with a thoughtful insight. 

Below is an expanded version of the text.
I was encouraged by the results of ChatGPT. ChatGPT is amazing!

I'm glad I kept the screenshot. I did the same search a few more times after that, but I never got the same results again. Nor did I get any emojis like the ones in the screenshot I uploaded here. 

For Japanese people, here is a reference.
・encounter      (思いがけない)出会い
・introspection  自己観察
・recount        を詳しく述べる、順を追って話す
・spontaneous    自然に起こる、自発的な
・lighthearted   気楽な、愉快な、陽気な
・whimsical      奇抜な、ふざけた
・showcase       を披露する

The ChatGPT results above are screenshots, so the links to the blogs in '✨Blog Highlights' do not work. I've placed each link below. Please take a look if you'd like😉

Blog Highlights

Travel Memories:   jophielrose.blogspot.com 
Everyday Joys:   jophielrose.blogspot.com 

I just happened to see the insightful content produced by ChatGPT, which documents thoughtful words and analysis about my blog. It encouraged me when I was a little lost in myself. For me, this search result was like a gift. I'd like to save this one search result that I encountered at that moment in time. It will also help me learn more about myself. Surely it was a comfort. With gratitude, Rose

Making hamburgers with sandwich bread is a fun way to try something new☆

At KUA AINA, you can choose from three types of bread when ordering a hamburger or a sandwich. It is from KAISER ROLL, BRIOCHE, or MULTI-GRAIN WHEAT.

MULTI-GRAIN is sandwich bread (sliced bread)☺ Click here for the menu.👉 KUA AINA MENU

One day, I ordered a burger made with sandwich bread instead of the usual buns.

A regular burger becomes something else when the bun is replaced with sliced sandwich bread!

It's a whole new style of enjoying your burger.
If you are a sandwich lover, I would recommend trying this way of eating once😊

I should limit my gluten intake. However, I still like going to a cafe. So I enjoy sitting back and having a sandwich there every once in a while.  Sandwiches and coffee are my crush💕

I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!   Rose

This is a yummy example of a good noodle that people with SIBO can eat.

I like to enjoy food and basically enjoy anything, but apparently I have symptoms of SIBO. For people with SIBO, a low FODMAP diet is recommended. Also, this diet involves avoiding fermented foods and flour. How can I avoid eating flour when I want to eat noodles🙀?

Thai food is a great solution😊!  


Thai food uses "rice noodles" for a noodle soup.  What do you think about this Thai-style chicken white broth ramen?  Isn't it yummy♡?  The spring rolls on the side are made with rice paper, and the mini fried rice is rice itself, so everything is gluten-free♪✌♪

The following extra photo is near the north exit of Numabukuro Station on the Seibu Shinjuku Line.  It is an area with a foreign-looking building, a shopping district, and a friendly, folksy vibe.


Is there a charming Thai restaurant in your city?  I hope you find a good one! 

Let's choose food that is tasty and kind to each of us, and that will make us happy and healthy.   Rose
