A reader who lost 42 kilograms on a Korean diet!

Hi, everybody, I received an email last year from a man named Chris living in Germany. He said he changed his diet to Korean food and lost lots of kilos! He made his own Korean food following my recipes. I was very surprised but happy!

I encouraged him to tell people about his success and he posted this on the forum. Then I asked him to leave more detailed directions for those having problems with weight control. And he did it!!

I think this is going to be very useful information for a lot of people. I want to share this precious information with more people, so I’m blogging about it here. So if you’re interested in losing weight by eating Korean food, read all about it.

Thanks for telling us about it, Cbris!

    I love Korean food for this reason…Becuse I lived in Korea for 2 years alls I ate was Korean food and did tons and tons of walking I was able to go from 110 kilo to 88 kilo in 2 years. But since being back in America I got fat again but not that fat. Korean food is the best.

    I also lost 40Kg on a Korean diet!!! Wow!

    It took me about a year, and it was a combination of a primarily Korean diet, and a lot of exercise that got me to the point I am at now. My girlfriend and I both have huge appetites, and I didn’t want to sacrifice the size of my meals and variety of food – so the Korean diet was perfect for me. The amazing colours, textures, spice, and flavour, and the excellent nutritional balance were part of the reasoning. But my love for Korean food and cooking were what made the whole process fun and easy. In all honesty though, my amazing girlfriend was and is the number one reason for deciding to make the change.

    Thanks to her support and some strong personal motivation to become more healthy – I made the amazing transformation from 120Kg to 82Kg.

    I only found maangchi’s recipes about two months ago, and I credit the blog with inspiring me to experiment beyond the traditional Korean dishes I regularly eat. I’m still sticking to a Korean-based diet though!
