Actor Song Seung-heon (48) revealed his own diet secret.
Song Seung-heon and Park Ji-hyun, the main actors of the movie ‘Hidden Face‘, appeared on SBS Power FM’s ‘Kim Young-cheol‘s Power FM’, which aired today (12th). On this day, Kim Young-cheol read a listener’s comment saying, “I heard that Song Seung-heon spent three weeks rinsing his mouth with water and eating nuts for the ‘Hidden Face’ bed and bathtub scenes.” He also said, “What did you eat as much as you wanted for your first meal after filming?” In response, Kim Young-cheol said that he saw Song Seung-heon at the time and said, “Song Seung-heon went on a diet for three weeks and lost a lot of weight.” Song Seung-heon said, “I’m not usually good at dieting, but at that time, I think I only ate nuts and water. I ate tteokbokki for my first meal at that time.” Kim Young-cheol also said, “What I remember from that time (when I was on a diet) was that I was sharp and sensitive. At that time, we were drinking and I got drunk alone around 9 o’clock. I remember getting drunk quickly because I couldn’t eat much and I was on an empty stomach.” said.
The nuts that Song Seung-heon ate while dieting contain a large amount of healthy unsaturated fat, vegetable protein, and dietary fiber. These nutrients increase satiety and prevent excessive calorie intake. There are also studies that show that adding nuts to your diet while dieting increases the weight loss effect. Researchers at the University of South Australia examined the correlation between nut consumption and weight loss in 676 overweight or obese people. The researchers divided the experiment participants into two groups. One group was provided with 43 to 85 g of nuts such as almonds, peanuts, pistachios, and walnuts every day along with their diet. The other group ate only a basic diet without nuts. As a result, the group that consumed nuts as part of their daily diet recorded a greater weight loss than the group that did not. The group that ate a nut-containing diet lost at least 1kg and up to 16kg more weight than the group that ate a nut-free diet.
However, extreme diets that only eat nuts can cause a yo-yo effect. The yo-yo phenomenon refers to the repeated weight gain and loss during the process of losing weight, where the lost weight is not maintained. If the supply of nutrients is not maintained consistently, our body has a tendency to store rather than consume, so if we eat less, it is easy to gain fat. At this time, metabolism slows down and weight increases.
Therefore, when dieting, you should follow a healthy diet rather than reducing the amount of food you eat. Rather than trying to lose weight in a short period of time, aim to lose about 10% of your body weight in 6 months. In addition, you must also consume a certain amount of essential nutrients such as fat, carbohydrates, and protein. It is also good to combine aerobic exercise and strength training over a long period of time. If you find it difficult to find time to exercise, changing your lifestyle habits can also help. For about two subway stops, you can walk or use the stairs.
