You can still eat delicious food while fasting to lose weight. It’s easier to gain weight when you’re hungry! South Korean goddess Son Ye-jin 5:2 intermittent fasting, 4 keys to weight loss

Son Ye-jin, who has the title of "Korean Goddess", and national actor Hyun Bin finally got married and decided to move on to the second stage of their lives together, making their fairy tale come true! Especially Son Ye-jin, who is nearly 40 years old, not only has good acting skills, but also maintains her appearance and figure well. She always maintains a good figure, making it impossible to tell her real age. She often posts various food photos on IG, admitting that she is a foodie, but not blindly dieting. How does she maintain a slim and fit figure while enjoying delicious food? It is said that she adopts the 5:2 intermittent fasting method to keep herself in good shape. Let’s hear what nutritionist Zhao Hanying says!

It’s easier to gain weight when you’re hungry! Nutritionists emphasize that if you want to lose weight successfully, you must be aware of your calorie intake

In fact, "Pretty Sister" Son Ye-jin shared on a Korean variety show in the past that she is a fan of TRX (suspension resistance training) and maintains an exercise habit at least three times a week. As for diet, there are no special restrictions, but he once mentioned in an interview that "it's easier to gain weight when you're hungry"; and he absolutely must have breakfast every day, and often drinks "green latte" for breakfast. During special periods, he will occasionally adopt "intermittent fasting" to help control his body shape.

However, what do nutritionists think of Son Ye-jin's secret to maintaining a good figure? Nutritionist Zhao Hanying said that first of all, it is very good to have a regular exercise habit, and she also agrees with Son Ye-jin's idea that "it is easier to gain weight when you are hungry." From a nutritional perspective, although dieting puts the body in a state of hunger, it may indeed give the illusion of rapid weight loss in a short period of time; but once people return to their normal food intake, the weight will quickly return to normal.

Moreover, long-term and repeated dieting will affect the endocrine balance of the human body, causing the body's metabolic function to deteriorate and the basal metabolic rate to decline. You are trapped in a frustrating vicious cycle of eating less than before but still gaining weight. You may even become fatter than before you started losing weight! Nutritionist Zhao Hanying emphasized that if people want to lose weight successfully, they must know that "limiting calorie intake and eating less does not mean you won't get fat" and "you must never starve yourself to lose weight!" So of course you can eat delicious food, but you just have to learn how to distribute it properly.

Green Latte is very popular. Will it help you lose weight by replacing breakfast with it? Be careful not to drink the wrong amount and get fat! Nutritionists teach you how to avoid NG

As for whether eating breakfast is really so important for maintaining a good figure? Can Son Ye-jin's favorite "green latte" completely replace breakfast? Nutritionist Zhao Hanying said that skipping breakfast will not only cause the body to lack adequate energy supply after a night of sleep, but also reduce the metabolic rate, causing people to have problems such as hypoglycemia, dizziness, and lack of concentration.

In the past, studies in the UK have found that people who do not have the habit of eating breakfast have a higher desire to eat snacks and junk food than those who have the habit of eating breakfast. Therefore, if you want to lose weight successfully, eating breakfast is really important. For a healthy and balanced breakfast, it is generally recommended to have an appropriate amount of high-quality protein, starch, and fruits and vegetables. For example, 1 serving of omelette, mushrooms, a small fist of sweet potato, and 1 cup of soy milk is a good combination.

What exactly is the "green latte" that Son Ye-jin loves? Nutritionist Zhao Hanying explained that green latte and green smoothie are actually similar things, referring to drinks made by blending various fruits and vegetables, nuts, and appropriate amounts of protein. Because it contains rich dietary fiber, phytochemicals, and vegetable and fruit enzymes, it does help promote intestinal digestion, peristalsis, and improve constipation. Occasionally eating it as a meal replacement to replace breakfast is indeed a good way to detoxify and purify the intestines.

However, it should be reminded that if people have the habit of eating breakfast normally, the nutrition is actually sufficient and there is no need to drink green latte additionally, so as not to increase the burden on the body! Nutritionist Zhao Hanying shared that she once met an office lady who heard that green latte was healthy, so she made her own green latte in addition to her original breakfast every day.

Unexpectedly, after drinking it for less than 2 weeks, she gained more than 2 kilograms! It turns out that this office lady is not used to the taste of vegetables in green latte, so she puts 3-4 oranges in every green latte, hoping to cover up the bitter taste of vegetables. The result was counterproductive, causing her to consume too much fructose and calories every day, which led to fat accumulation and weight gain.

So how should you drink green latte? Nutritionist Zhao Hanying pointed out that it is generally recommended that the ratio of vegetables to fruits in green latte should be "1:1", that is, the amount of vegetables the size of a fist and fruits the size of a fist is more appropriate. You can also choose to add protein-rich ingredients such as soy milk, nut milk, almond milk, etc. to blend together to make the nutrition more balanced.

For those who have a cold constitution, you can add an appropriate amount of ginger slices, or blanch the fruits and vegetables and then blend them, which will help neutralize the coldness of the fruits and vegetables. Nutritionist Zhao Hanying also specially recommended two green lattes that she often drinks that are rich in enzymes and vitamin C for everyone's reference. You can pair them with a tea egg or a boiled egg to make a very nutritious breakfast alternative.

Is it possible to lose weight by intermittent fasting? Nutritionists analyze the benefits and give you detailed instructions

In addition, it is said that Son Ye-jin is also a fan of "intermittent fasting". Although there are no major restrictions on her diet, she will choose to eat less on 2 days a week, with steamed seafood and light vegetables and fruits, controlling the calorie intake to no more than 650 calories. She eats normally on the other 5 days to give her body adequate rest. What do nutritionists think about this type of intermittent fasting?

5:2 intermittent fasting method 4 keys to weight loss

Nutritionist Zhao Hanying pointed out that moderate fasting does help clear the intestines and activate the body's self-healing ability. The intermittent fasting adopted by Son Ye-jin, which involves choosing two non-consecutive "fasting days" a week, is actually the so-called "5:2 light fasting method."

Key 1: Fast 2 days a week and eat normally the other 5 days. It is very suitable to do it on the busiest Monday and the Thursday after the short weekend (Wednesday). After a day of hard work, you can eat the food you want the next day, and your body can get proper rest and repair.

Key 2: When implementing a 2-day "fasting day", you can follow the principle of having 2 meals a day. You can skip breakfast or lunch depending on the situation, but keeping the evening meal will make it easier to proceed.

Key 3: On the "fasting day", the calorie intake for girls should not exceed 500 calories, and for boys it should not exceed 600 calories.

Key 4: On “fasting days”, only eat “good” foods, such as high-quality protein like seafood, fiber-rich starches, and vegetables and fruits.

However, it also reminds everyone that not everyone is suitable for this method and it is still necessary to evaluate carefully. If you are really not used to the "5:2 intermittent fasting method", you can also try to follow the principle of reducing sugar and eating less processed foods, which is also another good way to lose weight. The most important thing is that if you want to lose weight successfully, you must first find the eating pattern that suits you best.

Essential oil hot bath promotes metabolism and helps relaxation. Find a weight loss method that suits you. There is a solution to stress obesity.

In addition to exercise and diet control, Son Ye-jin has another secret to maintaining a good figure, which is to take a half-body bath regularly, adding various essential oils and fragrances to help herself relax! In this regard, nutritionist Zhao Hanying said that taking a hot bath at home after a busy day is a very good way for hard-working modern people to relieve stress, relax and repair the brain. It is especially recommended for friends who are troubled by stress, obesity, and poor sleep quality. If you add an appropriate amount of essential oils such as old ginger, frankincense, and sweet orange to the bathtub, it will help accelerate blood circulation and metabolism.

Nutritionist Zhao Hanying also mentioned that she had encountered many office workers who forced themselves to squeeze out time for exercise in order to lose weight, and some even took coaching classes twice a week, which put themselves under a lot of pressure. Every time after a class, I felt as if my whole body was drained and weak. I would feel bad and miserable just thinking about the class that day. Some students would give up the class within less than a month. There are even many cases of students straining their muscles, spraining their waists, or spraining their feet due to overexertion and excessive exercise.

Nutritionist Zhao Hanying emphasized that losing weight is actually a process of communicating with yourself, and everyone has their own suitable way. It is recommended that friends who want to lose weight, if they really don’t know where to start, may wish to seek advice from a professional nutritionist to help evaluate and clarify the reasons for weight gain, and together find the most suitable weight loss method that is easy and enjoyable to implement. If you want to lose weight, slim down successfully, and build a well-proportioned body, all you have to do is remember that you are better today than you were yesterday. Whether a dieter can be in a good mood is an important factor that affects whether good habits can be maintained for a long time!
