Having three children and eating the equivalent of 10 servings a day, weighing 41kg—what are the health check results?

Huh...

Is your basal metabolic rate extremely high?

I have someone like this around me.

No matter how much I eat, I really don't gain weight, but I tend to be quite sensitive.

As someone who loves eating and is on a diet, I really envy that.

Having three children and eating the equivalent of 10 servings a day... 41kg

I'm not sure about the height, but I hear your health condition is excellent... that's amazing.

No matter how much you say you don't gain weight, overeating isn't good, right?

It is recommended to chew food slowly, use small bowls, and reduce rice portions.

 

Mr. A, worried about food expenses / KBS Joy 'Ask Anything, Beads'

 

A woman with a big appetite confessed her health condition.

On the 11th, a 31-year-old woman, Ms. A, appeared on KBS Joy's 'Ask Anything'.

He claimed, "I eat 10 servings a day." However, his weight is 41 kg.

Mr. A added that because he eats so much, his monthly food expenses amount to 2.5 million won.

Mr. A does not live alone. He has a husband and three children. The food expenses he mentioned are for eating alone. If you include the cost of eating with his family, the total food expenses would be higher.

Mr. A stated, "Even during pregnancy, I sat and ate for 8 hours, and I ordered a course meal at a Chinese restaurant and added a large dessert."

He also said that even after eating more than ten servings of beef, he still adds dishes like soybean noodle soup, fried rice, and stew. When eating rice, he drinks soda instead of water. It is almost to the point of addiction, and he feels that he cannot digest properly without soda.

 

 

Overeating can lead to obesity or increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes. High-calorie foods contain high amounts of linoleic acid and palmitic acid, which can weaken the skin barrier and worsen skin inflammation or acne.

Overeating is also bad for the stomach. Repeated binge eating can cause the stomach to stretch, potentially leading to rupture. Additionally, chronic gastritis can worsen and even develop into cancer.

Carbonated drinks also do not benefit health. Due to their high sugar content, they cause nutritional imbalance and worsen pancreatic health.

However, surprisingly, Mr. A's condition is extremely good.

 

 

His health check-up results came back as 'normal'.

Nevertheless, if Mr. A continues his current eating habits, there is a high likelihood that his health will deteriorate.

Introducing basic habits to protect health instead of overeating.

1. Eat slowly, chew thoroughly and carefully

Swallowing without chewing properly several times and getting up from your seat out of haste is not good for your health. It is recommended to chew 20 to 25 times each time you put food in your mouth. In particular, it is advised to take at least 20 minutes for a meal. This is because the leptin hormone is transmitted to the brain, helping you feel full.

Reduce the amount of rice rather than side dishes

Suddenly reducing the amount from the beginning can confuse the stomach and brain, potentially leading to binge eating. If you decide to eat less, start by reducing about 20% of your usual intake. Additionally, it is good to limit the amount of carbohydrates consumed as you gradually reduce rice intake. Instead, increase the intake of fruits and vegetables rich in calcium, magnesium, vitamins, and minerals to compensate for the nutrients that become deficient.

3. Drink plenty of water

Drinking a glass of water 30 minutes before a meal can help prevent overeating due to hydration. Alternatively, eating fruits and vegetables before a meal can create a sense of fullness, naturally preventing overeating.

Eating from a small bowl

Try serving food in a smaller bowl than the one you usually use. When you put food in a smaller bowl, you can feel psychologically full because it looks "full." Using a smaller spoon can also help prevent overeating.

Put down the spoon and fork after each bite

It is recommended to put down your spoon while chewing food in your mouth. If you keep holding the spoon until you swallow, you might unconsciously pick up the next food. So, when chewing, try to put down the spoon and focus only on chewing. This naturally increases the number of chews and lengthens the meal time.
