   I didn’t grow up eating much Korean food b/c I was adopted into a Korean family, but we always had Kim chee and learned how to cook Korean food from going to Korean summer camps growing up. I have really enjoyed cooking my culture’s food and have been back to Korea twice:) I can believe that someone can lose weight on a Korean diet: Kim chee is full of Pro-biotics which is very good for your digestive system and a lot of our dishes contain healthy vegetables, good sources of protein and clean carbs, as long as you keep your salt and sugar on the lesser side, you can have a healthy and delicious diet cooking Korean!

   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!
