After lunch, think about dinner; after dinner, think about breakfast; after breakfast, think about lunch.
Many people who try to restrict carbohydrate intake fail because they have nothing else to eat and end up eating normal meals. There are many cases where they have the intention to restrict carbohydrate intake, but have no choice because there are no stores or products that cater to carbohydrate restriction. If you eat lunch without thinking about what you'll eat for dinner and just go with the flow, you often end up eating too many carbohydrates because there are no low-carb foods around or when you're with someone.
At the very least, you need to think about dinner when you eat lunch, and about breakfast when you eat dinner. It may seem hard to think about it all the time, but as you get used to it, it will become a habit and you will be able to do it naturally, so try to make it a habit little by little.
First, imagine the day and the next day and think about where you will eat lunch and dinner, then you can look up restaurants in advance or bring your own lunch box. Please take a look at the summary of chains nationwide, restaurants in Tokyo that offer low-carb meals, and how to limit your carbohydrate intake at convenience stores.

It is also important to consider what food is broken down into and how it is synthesized in the body. Understanding metabolism is also useful when making judgments about foods and supplements.
For example, let's say you hear that collagen is the ingredient that keeps your skin firm, and you decide to take a collagen supplement. At first glance, this may seem like a good idea, but collagen is broken down into amino acids in the digestive organs, and then resynthesized in the body. In other words, even if you don't take collagen, if you properly ingest protein and amino acids, the necessary collagen will be synthesized.
What about those with osteoporosis who take calcium? This is because there are only a limited number of foods that contain calcium, and calcium is the smallest unit of atoms that cannot be broken down any further. Therefore, taking calcium leads to strengthening bones. (Incidentally, taking vitamin D together with calcium improves calcium absorption, so many calcium supplements contain vitamin D.)
If we think about why people gain weight in the first place, by working backwards through the mechanisms of carbohydrate, protein, and fat decomposition and absorption, we can become more careful about consuming too much carbohydrate. Rather than becoming an automatic machine of words, such as "I need to take collagen because I don't have enough collagen," it's important to take a moment to look into the matter.
