This is hearty and so good. I am fortunate there are places here that serve just this soup, so I can run in have a bubbling bowl with condiments and be back at work, or if I get up early enough breakfast!<br /> If you live in a community that has a large Korean population, this dish is a winner! It is a soup that requires more cooking time than most dishes but the broth and beef may be frozen in portions and heated before serving...so make a big batch!</p> <p>Good luck and hang in you are young and will find it a fun healthy creative journey if you really get in to home cooking </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/on-my-weight-loss-journey-meal-suggestions#post-5893 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 07:22:13 +0000 somi 5893@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I suggest, switch to brown rice, and make lots of the pun-chun dishes. Also seaweed is really good for you, so meok-guk is a very good choice. And try to use fish base instead of meat base in soups. Congratulations you guys on losing your weight. I'm doing the same thing too. Honestly, when I cook Korean soups and stuff, I find that the calorie intake is lower, and I feel happier about it. I'm with you on your weight loss journey! GO US!!!! xD </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/on-my-weight-loss-journey-meal-suggestions#post-5824 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 04:15:33 +0000 wandering-z 5824@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi district<br /> congrats on trying to lose. I myself am doing the same thing. Most of the soups are very healthy if eaten by serving size. Maangchi does a good job on demonstrating serving size on some of her videos. I have found out that cutting the sugar content,red meat, sodium, and some carbs in the form of noodles to be very helpful.I use cooking spray instead of vegetable oil on a good non-stick pan. I have lost 29lbs so far.</p> <p>As for the gym, you should do weight training at least 4 times a week and cardio six times a week (45mins). Be persistent like a bug. Focus on fat loss and muscle retention not just the amounts lbs you can drop.</p> <p>Good luck </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/on-my-weight-loss-journey-meal-suggestions#post-5822 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 20:55:37 +0000 DistrictBelle 5822@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi everyone, I am 23 and have 115 lbs to lose. Im trying to avoid fat and carbs. I weight train twice a week and do lots of cardio. Which korean dishes are the healthiest for weight loss and dieting?
