Actress Kang So-ra (34) revealed that she manages her weight by choosing her food types rather than reducing her intake.

 

On the 15th, a video titled "Gwanggo Advertising Shoot Confession and Diet Q&A with Kang Sora" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'SORPLAY of SORA Sora's Solo Play.' The video captured Kang Sora's advertising shoot scene. Kang Sora brought snacks to the set and ate them whenever she was hungry. She said, "If I eat a full meal, I get sleepy and sluggish, so I eat a little bit whenever I feel hungry," and brought snacks with her.

 

▲Eggs ▲Nuts ▲Bananas ▲Sweet Potatoes ▲Kabocha Squash were shown. The nuts were in a pack containing various types, but Kang So-ra said, "I eat products that do not include dried fruits with added sugar." She then added, "My diet focuses on choosing the types of food rather than reducing the amount I eat," and "I avoid eating out and am very careful with sugar." She also mentioned, "'Rapid weight loss' is not my goal; I aim to increase muscle mass and maintain homeostasis," and "I plan to exercise at least four times a week."

 

Kang So-ra manages her body by eating healthy foods instead of reducing her intake. We explore the benefits of the foods she eats during her diet.

▷Eggs = Eggs are low in calories and high in protein, which helps with muscle growth and is effective for dieting. In fact, according to a study by a research team at the University of Castilla-La Mancha in Spain, people who consume more eggs weekly tend to have a lower body mass index. The protein content per 100g of eggs is 13g, which also promotes a feeling of fullness and helps suppress appetite. Especially in the yolk, there is a high amount of a water-soluble vitamin called 'choline,' which promotes the secretion of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain. Acetylcholine enhances memory and muscle control abilities.

 

Nuts = Nuts help with dieting because they can alleviate hunger. Nuts contain a large amount of healthy unsaturated fats, plant proteins, and dietary fiber. These nutrients play a role in increasing satiety and preventing excessive calorie intake. According to researchers from the University of South Australia, the group that included nuts in their daily diet showed a greater weight loss compared to the group that did not. Additionally, nuts are known to improve cardiovascular and metabolic health and enhance cognitive function.

 

▷Banana=Bananas are rich in fiber and potassium, making them highly filling foods that reduce appetite. Additionally, bananas contain resistant starch, which does not rapidly raise blood sugar levels and helps eliminate belly fat. Resistant starch helps maintain a feeling of fullness for a longer time, suppresses appetite, and promotes metabolism, making it beneficial for dieting. Among banana colors, especially green bananas contain a high amount of resistant starch, so green bananas are recommended for those on a diet. However, eating them on an empty stomach can increase magnesium levels in the blood vessels, disrupting the balance of potassium and potentially putting stress on the cardiovascular system, so caution is needed.

 

▷Sweet potatoes = Like Kang So-ra, boiling and eating sweet potatoes lowers their glycemic index, which is good for dieting. The glycemic index indicates how quickly a food raises blood sugar levels. A low glycemic index means digestion is slower inside the body, preventing overeating and aiding in weight loss. Additionally, a component called jalapin found in sweet potatoes has the function of cleaning the intestines. Therefore, it facilitates bowel movements and can prevent colon cancer. Sweet potatoes are also rich in enzymes that break down starch and vitamin B1, which activates intestinal function. These components work synergistically with dietary fiber in sweet potatoes to make bowel movements even smoother.

 

▷Sweet pumpkin = Sweet pumpkin is a low-calorie food, with about 30 kcal per 100g. Compared to plain white rice, its carbohydrate content is only about one-fifth, making it an ideal diet food. Eating just a little can make you feel full, which helps with dieting by replacing a meal. Additionally, it is rich in dietary fiber, promoting smooth bowel movements. The beta-carotene and vitamin E in sweet pumpkin help improve blood circulation and keep the body warm during cold winter months.
