Diet Furikake is Japanese style dieting. It is a flavored and blue seasoning to be sprinkled on rice so that your brain will form a negative image of it.
The human brain distinguishes between "pleasant" and "non-pleasant" and makes the body avoid non-pleasant things. As 70% of the information sent to the brain comes from visual perception, you can -so they say- program your brain to reject carbs through an unpleasant view of carbohydrate food and stop overeating.
