Singer and actress Ahn So-hee (32) revealed how she manages her diet to maintain her weight.
On the 15th, a video titled ‘Daily diet, height and weight, dermatological care, body care, etc. with Q&A’ was posted on Ahn Sohee’s YouTube channel ‘Ahn Sohee’. In the video, Sohee Ahn walked outdoors with the producer and introduced her various management methods. Ahn So-hee said, “I will disclose it accurately. (My height and weight) are 164cm and these days I weigh 46kg. I lost a lot of weight while acting, so I used to weigh 46-47kg, but now I weigh 45-46kg.” He continued, “It is a habit to check my weight every day,” and “(I measure my weight) and if I gain a little, I eat less in the evening.” He also said, “I usually eat 1 or 1.5 meals a day, and when I eat a lot, I eat 2 meals.” He continued, “I wake up in the morning and eat eggs, kiwi, pineapple, and blueberries according to my routine. Afterwards, I exercise and eat dinner for a total of two meals. Or, I ate a lot the day before and only eat eggs for breakfast, and drink a protein drink while exercising and dinner. “I only eat one meal a day,” he said. He also said, “Even if I have a late-night snack or drink, what’s really important is the next day,” and “I don’t eat breakfast or lunch the next day.”
◇Eating one meal a day, what are the actual effects?
Like Sohee Ahn, there are many people who practice the one-meal-a-day diet, eating only one meal a day. Japanese medical doctor Yoshinori Nagumo became famous after claiming that it was good for health. According to Dr. Nagumo, if you eat just one meal a day, longevity genes that are released when you are hungry will be activated, preventing diseases such as diabetes, dementia, and cancer. In fact, Dr. Nagumo said that by practicing one meal a day for over 10 years, he prevented arrhythmia and constipation and lost 15 kg. However, it is difficult to conclude that eating one meal a day is a healthy diet. Problems can occur, especially when you don’t eat regularly. Biological rhythms, including hormonal cycles, remain stable when you eat regularly. Therefore, if you stop eating for a long time, growth hormone secretion may decrease. If growth hormone is lacking, muscle mass, bone density, vitality, and energy metabolic rate decrease. If your basal metabolic rate decreases, your body may become prone to storing fat. For example, if you only eat one meal without snacking, you only consume about 500 to 600 kcal per day. If this habit is repeated, the basal metabolic rate decreases and the proportion of nutrients accumulated as fat increases. In addition, there is a risk of nutritional imbalance due to insufficient intake of nutrients such as protein and vitamins. Therefore, even if you need to lose weight, it is advisable to use a method of reducing the amount of food you eat little by little. Reduce calories by about 500 kcal while consuming a balanced diet of the five major nutrients. In fact, the Korean Obesity Society said that you can lose 0.5 kg per week by eating as little as 500 kcal per day.
◇Weigh yourself every day, help with diet
The habit of weighing yourself every day helps you lose weight. In a study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, 1,042 adults were followed up for weight changes. As a result, people who never weighed themselves or only weighed themselves once a week were less successful at losing weight. On the other hand, people who weighed themselves 6 to 7 times a week lost 1.7% of their weight over 12 months. The habit of weighing oneself acts as a kind of supervisor, leading to changes in behavior for weight loss. The research team explained, “Increasing weight monitoring (such as weighing yourself every day) increases awareness of weight loss.” In addition, a study published in the Journal of Nutrition and Dietetics found that people who weighed themselves every day lost an average of 6.1 kg more than those who did not. However, the success of a diet cannot be evaluated based on weight alone. Weight can fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including water intake, activity level, and hormone levels. Therefore, we must recognize that weight is only one of the tools to determine the state of the body. If you feel more anxious than motivated when weighing yourself every day, you should reduce the number of times you weigh yourself and use various scales to evaluate the progress of your diet. In particular, waist circumference is an indicator of body fat loss. This is because as body fat decreases, waist circumference naturally decreases. Because muscles do not attach well to the waist, changes can be easily seen with the naked eye when fat is reduced. If the pants you normally wear become baggy or you feel that there is more space around your waist, you have lost body fat. According to the Korean Obesity Society, adult men with a circumference of more than 90 cm and adult women with a circumference of more than 85 cm are considered abdominal obesity.
What are the health implications of a one-meal-a-day diet as discussed by nutritionist Jasmine regarding Ahn So-hee’s approach?
Hello and welcome to World-today-news.com. Today, we have two esteemed guests with us – a certified nutritionist, Jasmine, and a fitness trainer, Mark. They have been invited to discuss singer and actress Ahn So-hee’s diet management methods and the health implications of her approach. Jasmine, could you start by sharing your thoughts on Ahn So-hee’s disclosure about her daily diet routine?
Jasmine: Hello, thank you for having me. It’s interesting to hear about Ahn So-hee’s diet management method, and it seems like she is quite disciplined with her routine. However, I do think it is important to highlight the potential implications of adopting a one-meal-a-day diet, especially if it’s not done in a well-balanced manner. As we know, our body needs consistent nutrition intake to function optimally, and skipping meals can lead to various health problems such as hormonal imbalances and fat accumulation in the long run. It’s great that she has found a system that works for her, but it’s essential to ensure that all the necessary nutrients are being consumed in the right amounts throughout the day.
Mark: Absolutely, I agree with Jasmine. Weight monitoring is an excellent habit to maintain overall health and fitness, but it should be used in conjunction with other measures such as waist circumference and body composition analysis. Seeing the scale fluctuate daily can be demotivating; instead, focusing on progressive reductions in these other indicators would provide a more accurate assessment of one’s progress. Moreover, engaging in a mix of cardio and strength training exercises can further improve the overall health metrics while supporting the weight loss efforts.
Jasmine: That’s a great point, Mark. Ahn So-hee mentioned that she exercises regularly, which is fantastic for her health. However, I also want to emphasize the importance of hydration and food diversity. Limiting your caloric intake through one meal a day can be detrimental to your metabolism over time. It would be great if she could incorporate smaller meals throughout the day without compromising her weight loss goals.
