For those of you who are culinary lovers, you must be familiar with mukbang content, right? Mukbang is a Korean word which is a combination of ” meoknun ” (먹는 = eating) and ” bangsong ” (방송 = broadcast) which means broadcast ( broadcast ) eating. A YouTuber who creates mukbang content is synonymous with eating large amounts of food and what’s great is that they eat it all by themselves, you know. Surprisingly, some of them remained thin even though they ate that much. What do you think the secret is? Let’s discuss it!
The Secret to Staying Skinny
It turns out there are several factors on how a mukbang content creator can remain thin even though he eats large portions. Some of the reasons are as follows:
Eat Healthy Food
Even though in the video it can be seen that mukbang YouTubers almost never eat nutritious food and rarely display healthy food content, behind that they still eat healthy food. Most Korean people prefer to eat boiled vegetables and seafood and avoid foods such as fast food. It is even possible for mukbang YouTubers to count the calories of their daily food. The content displayed doesn’t always represent their real life behind the scenes, right?
Reduce Sweet Foods
People who adopt a healthy lifestyle are those who want to reduce their consumption of sweet foods or drinks. Sweet foods or drinks that contain fructose can interfere with appetite hormones, because fructose will be stored as fat and not converted into energy. It’s no surprise that frequently snacking on sweet foods will increase your weight. Some Korean people who are mukbang YouTubers usually prefer to drink Barley Tea as a drink other than water because it can improve blood circulation, help digestion and increase antioxidants. Sweet snacks can be replaced by eating foods that contain fiber such as cereal, fruit, vegetables, nuts, almonds or edamame.
Drink Water
By consuming water, we will keep our body hydrated. But did you know that the diet program by YouTuber Mukbang can be done just by consuming water? Yes, by drinking water, they will feel full quickly so it can help reduce food portions. Apart from that, water can help them manage their weight because water can burn more calories by around 2% – 3%. Water also helps the digestive system and body metabolism to be better.
Taking Supplements
In order to maintain a thin body weight, mukbang YouTubers even take fat burning supplements, you know. Balanced with regular exercise and eating healthy food, apparently they also take fat burning supplements. This supplement is also useful as a hunger suppressant. It’s not surprising that even though they eat a lot in unnatural portions, their bodies are still thin.
Exercise regularly
The most effective way for mukbang YouTubers to keep their bodies thin is to exercise regularly. Exercising at least 3 – 4 times a week will make your body fit and burn existing fat. Calories obtained from food will also be burned. In addition, by exercising fat will be converted into muscle mass. The weight of muscle mass will not affect body weight, so they will remain thin. Just because we don’t see them working out doesn’t mean they don’t do it, right?
Good Body Metabolism
Are you the type of person who defecates quickly after eating a lot? If yes, chances are you have a good metabolism. Some people who are born with good metabolism will quickly process food in their digestive system. With this, food will not be converted into fat because food is not stored for a long time in the stomach. The food that comes in will be sent directly to the intestines and excreted as much as what is eaten. Being a mukbang YouTuber means they already understand that their body has a good metabolism. therefore they will not worry about gaining weight.
In conclusion, even though they are mukbang YouTubers who are seen eating unhealthy food, behind the scenes they are still trying to maintain an ideal body weight by eating healthy food, keeping their bodies hydrated with water and exercising diligently to have a good body metabolism. How? Are you now interested in becoming a mukbang YouTuber ?
