Adding chopped vegetables like cabbage or carrots helps you feel full longer and prevents rapid spikes in blood sugar.

 

What's different?

 

Eggs instead of wheat rice cakes and rice cakes

 

Eggs are rich in protein and help promote muscle growth in people with diabetes. Having more muscle mass allows for better glucose consumption, leading to improved blood sugar control. Consuming two eggs according to the recipe can fulfill 20% of the daily recommended protein intake. Eggs also provide a long-lasting feeling of fullness and are low in calories, which aids in weight management. According to a study conducted by the University of Castilla-La Mancha in Spain, people who consume more eggs have a lower body mass index compared to those who consume fewer eggs.

Weight loss cheat key: Konjac

 

Konjac is a low-calorie food with approximately 10 kcal per 100g. The Korean Society for the Study of Obesity also listed konjac as a food for weight control. It is composed of dietary fiber and water, making it low in calories. The dietary fiber in konjac dissolves into a sticky substance in the intestines, attaching to other foods, which slows down the absorption of carbohydrates and gradually raises blood sugar levels. However, individuals with gastrointestinal diseases or impaired digestive function, such as diabetics, may experience bloating, stomach rumbling, or mild diarrhea, so they should avoid consumption. In such cases, substitute with brown rice rice cakes or increase the number of eggs.

 

Onions and green onions adding healthy sweetness

 

Onions and green onions are essential ingredients when making tteokbokki. Adding onions and green onions to the broth during cooking allows them to cook and develop sweetness. The abundant quercetin in onions helps prevent fat accumulation in blood vessels, making it effective in preventing cardiovascular diseases. To fully absorb the nutrients in onions, they should be sliced vertically. This way, tissue cells are broken down, activating more nutrients. The allicin component in green onions boosts immunity, and vitamin C helps eliminate active oxygen in the body, preventing inflammation.
