Along with Korean skin care routines, Korean diet plans are also quiet popular. K-pop models have flawless skin and petite figure which makes them look young and attractive. Although many Korean diet plans are too extreme, there are some general rules that are pretty easy to follow. Also, if you incorporate some part of their diet in yours, you will see some difference.
1. Eat Loads of Veggies
Like most other oriental cuisine; Korean foods also include loads of fresh vegetables. They love to eat them raw, steamed or stir fried. Eating more vegetable automatically cut down your carb and fat intake,. Do not overcook them to keep the nutrients intact.
2. Say Goodbye to Cold Drinks
Aerated water is a big no-no for most K-pop girls and also among all Koreans. They prefer having juices and water in place of the sugar-rich drinks. If you think water is boring, add some cucumber slice or lime to it. Along with providing a refreshing taste, it will also detoxify your body.
3. Do Not skip Breakfast
Koreans are very strict about their breakfast. They never skip the breakfast and thus never grab some fast food on the way to work. Eating carb based products for breakfast like rice or noodles is still better than eating nothing or eating fast food. They eat soups, sprout salad, spinach salad and even fish for breakfast. You can try to have some green salad and add some protein in it to get a energizing start to the day.
4. Check the Portions
Koreans do not over eat and this is the key for losing weight. They follow the paper cup rule for this one. Usually they take three small cups and fill one with rice or noodles, one with veggies and one with meat or fish. This is what their one meal looks like. They do the same thrice each day i.e. for breakfast, lunch and dinner. With this moderation, they never go overweight.
5. No Fast Food
You won’t see road side stalls in Korea selling fries and burgers. They cook clean,, fresh food that are great for lunch, dinner or snack and are comparatively much healthier. They cook from scratch, even at road side stalls and people enjoy these food. Koreans are not a big fan of fattening, preserved fast food and this is a key reason behind their slim figure.
6. Dessert In Moderation
Diet conscious Koreans do not eat desserts every day. Even if they do, they keep the health aspect in mind. First of all their desserts are never too sweet as they prever spicy, sour foods more. Even when they eat desserts, they make them mostly at home. They do not add extra sugar and try to use alternatives as honey. Also, they serve fruits with the desserts to make them healthier choices.
7. Preserved Food
