The world has been enriched with knowledge of nutrition and diet secrets through one or the other culture and the bento box, which has originated from the Japanese culture takes the place of importance in this context. The bento box’s example has given a great push to the wholesome meal concept, a diet containing a balanced meal’s essential bento ingredients. The issue of eating a balanced meal is largely restricted among people today due to the time factor. Individuals often wake up late and need to rush to work and in the process, forget to adhere to nutrient-rich food meals. Restaurants and drive-thru takeaways often become vital factors in lives, leading to larger incidences of obesity or being overweight among today’s individuals!

Bento boxes are one of the means to home-cooked power bowls that pack up healthy meals very fewer times. An essential item of Japanese dining, the bento box is a lunch box with compartments that pack different food items without them getting mixed up. These hold good for any diet, and you can make your own bento with your specific favourites that will lead to good health.

A Japanese lunch box’s contents typically include four bento food groups including rice, meat or fish, veggies, fruits, pickle or a dessert. The food is arranged attractively visually appealing, besides including all the essential nutrients of a balanced diet. The four to five compartments with some being sealed and others open help to hold solid food items and liquids like sauces or soups. How is all this related to weight loss, you may ask? Firstly, the many compartments in the bento box offer an opportunity to pack varied food items of your choice and secondly the compartments are relatively small. Hence, they come with inbuilt portion control. You cannot pack a huge heap of rice into the largest compartment of your bento box. It will not work!

However, the mere fact of having a multitude of compartments does not go towards reducing your weight. You have to adhere to a nutritious menu alongside if you want any obvious difference to your weight. Inclusion of potato chips, sour cream dip and a brownie for a dessert into the varied compartments of your bento box will prove futile in your quest for attaining weight loss.

It would help if you used the varied compartments wisely; use the larger ones for packing veggies and the smaller ones for carbohydrates, which will definitely enable you to shed off the pounds from your body faster. Keeping your food items bright and colourful by the inclusion of cherry tomatoes, red radishes, and varied fruit slices will not only make your bento box appealing but also go towards adding to the nutrient quotient.
