Singer Kang Min-kyung is attracting attention for her diet that allows her to enjoy delicious food without starving.
Kang Min-kyung recently shared a video of herself making and eating ‘Perilla Oil Perilla Jeongsal Kimchi Jjim’ on her YouTube channel. He praised it, saying, “It’s really easy to make, but it’s so delicious.”
In fact, kimchi stew is high in salt, which can be a negative factor in weight management. However, Kang Min-kyung, who has been eating one meal a day for a long time for management purposes, shows that she eats ‘at least one proper meal’. Pork can supplement protein that is often lacking when dieting.
Kang Min-kyung ate ‘konjac rice’ here. Let’s take a look at the nutritional value and precautions of Kang Min-kyung’s choice of perilla oil braised pork kimchi and konjac rice for one meal.
Pork kimchi stew rich in protein, be careful about salt
Pork tenderloin is rich in protein and vitamin B1. This means that it is a food ingredient that can provide protein and energy at the same time. Kimchi, a fermented food, is rich in dietary fiber and lactic acid bacteria. Perilla oil, which is good to sprinkle at the end of cooking, is rich in vegetable omega-3 called ‘alpha-linolenic acid’. The unsaturated fat in perilla oil can have a positive effect on vascular health.
However, it is not good to eat too much of pork because it is a cut of pork that is high in fat and calories. Also, steamed dishes that use a lot of kimchi can significantly increase sodium intake. Even if you boil kimchi for a long time, the salt content does not decrease, so it is recommended to avoid adding other vegetables or consuming broth.
Low-calorie konjac… Avoid taking large amounts over a long period of time
Konjac is a plant belonging to the taro family. It is ground into powder and made into noodles or jelly for use in cooking. The calories of konjac made in square plate form are only 6 kcal per 100g. Since 96.7% of konjac consists of water, it is considered a good food ingredient for dieting.
It is also good for preventing constipation. The soluble dietary fiber ‘glucomannan’ found in konjac helps increase beneficial intestinal bacteria and improve bowel movements. In particular, ‘glucomannan’ has the property of absorbing moisture and swelling, so you can feel full even if you only eat a small amount.
However, you should avoid eating too much konjac rice for a long period of time. This is because ‘glucomannan’, the main ingredient in konjac, can interfere with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, K and minerals such as iron, calcium, and zinc.
The paper ‘Effect of dietary fiber on human mineral utilization’ published in The Journal of Nutrition points out that viscous soluble dietary fiber can bind to calcium, iron, and zinc in the stomach, preventing their absorption into the human body. Therefore, it is best to take calcium supplements containing fat-soluble vitamins about 1 to 2 hours apart from konjac.
