Abstract
Dietary habits are a crucial part of measures against metabolic syndrome. To prevent the disease, it is best to start eating an appropriate amount of well-balanced meals at regular times at a young age. However, company employees are greatly influenced by their job situation and changes that are occurring in living environments, and according to the 2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, over 50% of men aged 40 years or older either have metabolic syndrome or are at higher risk. At Company M, in addition to providing dietary advice for such workers, it has become increasingly important to provide young workers in their 20s and 30s with dietary guidance on dining out and home meal replacement for dinner. To promote successful and continuous behavior modification among employees, we recommend a 100-kcal diet plan and provide food-related information useful at work as well as home.
