Okay, so how do we get the much-wanted ulzzang body? Ulzzangs get their perfect bodies through a lot of dieting and also maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Already, Korean ulzzangs have an advantage on those of us who live in western countries, in terms of having a healthy lifestyle.
To start off, the food they eat normally is already ten times healthier than what the normal meal is like in America, where I live. This is what a typical korean meal looks like- which is really different from the typical western meal.
Note that there are A LOT of dishes, but they are all small and are mostly vegetables. The Korean diet mostly consists of fish when it comes to meat.
A lot better than hamburger meat that we have in America. Most Korean side-dishes are boiled and drained vegetables. And of course, Koreans have their kimchi, which gives them nutrients from the cabbage, and the spicy-ness revs up their metabolisms.
Look at that. So that is reason 1 Korean ulzzangs have such thin bodies- they already have the normal daily diet that is healthy and low on fattening things like sugars and carbohydrates, while in western cuisine, carbohydrates basically make up everything. Of course, ulzzangs also diet- the healthy food choices in Korea mean nothing if you overeat remember! Which diets should I try that works fast? How much calories should I eat a day?
How can I stay away from unhealthy food like icecream, chocolate, chips and more? I actually need all the advice i can get.. Keep posting! Heys and sorry for the late reply! I'm not too familiar with lots of diets so my simple advice for your is - eat as little as possible! Mainly vegetables and lean meat! I don't know about your metabolism so I don't want to particularize any amount of calories, just very little haha Don't buy unhealthy food! Or don't let anyone in your house buy those things!
Just don't! Never take money with you, so you can't buy snacks! If you really want to exercise hardcore, then alternate between muscle and cardio training for each day, about 1 or 1,5h!
But be sure to eat enough to not die from exercising haha If your follow this, you should lose weight in no time.
Hi my name is stephanie 15 yrs old. My height is while my weight is I have a skinny body but then i started to just sit down and do nothing. What should i do? I hipe you'll reply to this asap. Thank you so mucch :. Hey Stephanie, well if you find your thighs too big then it's really hard to specifically lose weight at a certain part of the body by dieting or working out. You'd have to lose weight generally and I guess, hope that the fat at the thighs start to decrease first Hope that helped!
I love your blog: it is extremely informative but also clear. I weight about 47kg to Even though my weight is pretty good in proportion to my height I still have areas that seem out of proportion.
I do about 10 to 15 Min of cardio and 10 min of toning a day small movements with lots of reps. Should I eat less calories?? Workout longer?? I just want proportion!! Thank you for your time and help xxxx. Heys, thanks for your nice comment! Both - eating less and working out - will result in weight loss of course toning will built muscle instead of just slimming down. I'm assuming that your thighs touch because there's still too much fat there, which means you need to lose more weight and hope that your thigh fat is the first to go.
Whether you do that by eating less or more work outs is up to you. As for your calves - this might be more of a 'large muscle problem', if that's the case then take care of what toning exercises you do and avoid taxing your calves. Just an extra tip: Often we are too self conscious when it comes to our bodies and are overly critical and judgemental.
I also thought my calves were too big for years and then sometimes I think they are ok. Eventually I came to the conclusion that it might be just me having no chill, so I learnt that sometimes one's own body is not as bad as one thinks. Ulzzang Transformation H.

Oh yeah.. I know a shitload of pictures, but I don't compromise, pick up your wifi game! Weight loss Before starting to provide whatever information I have concerning weight loss, let me make a few things clear.
But they are NOT pro-ana-, pro-bones-underweight! I know I'm preaching underweight is the only thing, but that doesn't mean that my word is law. If you think you want to live by it, then be aware of your decision. So what I want you all to remember is You must absolutely know, what you are doing Ok, that's it. I'm not saying this because I feel responsible for you or I'm afraid I could be blamed for anyone starving to death.
I couldn't care less about that, since it's obvious that whatever I write here, it is still you who decide to do it. I'm writing this, because it's only natural that everyone should take good care of themselves and hurting your own body won't get you anywhere.
As everybody should know, it is only logical that what gets in is in some way used by our body. Our body uses the food to get energy out of it or to build up elements for our organs. Energy is used for many things, from moving muscles not only when we work, but also for things like making our heart beat, for breathing, for seeing, etc , to maintaining our body temperature, cleaning our blood, healing wounds, fighting off bacteria, really many things.
If we get more energy than we need, our body doesn't like to waste it. For times when nourishment is scarce our body stores energy as fat. When needed these fat reserves can be used to gain energy for vital processes. With that knowledge the formula for losing weight is fairly simple, we must somehow use up those stored fats.
And that is done when the body doesn't get enough energy else way. So less in than out! There are two ways of doing so; 1 eating less 2 exercise By eating less we force our body to make use of the stored fats and by exercising we are creating an even greater need for energy, so it's only logical that by combining those two, we get a greater result, because our body must even create more energy for the additional strain.
Yes I know, everything I said til now is pretty clear, but I just wanted to recall those information, because I think keeping those basics in mind, will help you reach your goal more directly.
Diet I can't really provide any specific information here, as there is really too much unverified information around, which I couldn't possibly quote. So, I try to keep things simply and basic What kind of food helps with weight loss? FAT is synthesized out of the fat we eat and sugar and proteins. So yes, like everybody knows, throw out as much fatty and sweet food as you can.
I will talk about proteins later. Things that contain much fat: cheese, milk, fried stuff, cake, chocolate, bacon, sausages, etc. Well, mostly dairy goods as milk is very fatty and many many meats. I don't think I need to list sweet things. In order to avoid gaining more fats you can either totally cut these out or replace them. As for dairy good there are nearly always low-fat alternatives and there is also meat which is low-fat, like turkey or chicken.
What we should eat instead are vegetables. As they are very healthy and don't really have any fats. It is even better if we cook them using only little to no oil! Many people who have successfully lost weight claim to have cut carbs, so I think it is quite an efficient method to lose weight.
The gist: Supporters think that carbs are generally kind of bad. For us it is important to know that carbs are actually only large sugars. Sugar is also energy, so when a our body registries that we have plenty of sugar it will use that to gain energy and not its holy fat reserves.
Sugar is also needed to create fat reserves. That means, throw out the carbs, too! Carbs are mainly in cereal products, like bread, noodles, rice, The function of proteins in our body which are interesting for us is also its usage as an energy store. Luckily for us, stored proteins are way leaner and less noticeable than those bulky fats. Now this is important: I told you that our body uses fat reserves to get energy when it doesn't get any food.
That's only half the story. When starving the body will also exploit its own muscles, liver and spleen to create the necessary energy to keep us alive. As a consequence our muscles and those organs will shrink. That is why it is not a good idea at all to starve, not only because it sounds terrible. We need our liver not only!
Yes, the liver can create more than enough for us using protein. We also want many muscles for losing weight more about that later. What we do need at least are proteins. There are also other components of our nutrition which are also essential btw: vitamins, trace elements, Now that I have given you this information I think you should now be able to more or less estimate what a good diet for you looks like.
I can't say much more, because there are really millions of diets on the internet and as far as I know they all work or don't, depending on how hard you kick yourself in the ass. Nevertheless, since the one meal per day diet appears to be somewhat popular in Korea and thus elsewhere I shall add my two cents. Personally I think that for us first world inhabitants, it is kind of hard to die from nutrient deficiency.
And whilst certain life styles construction worker, competitive sportmen, managers, To make myself clear, I dare to say that one meal per day is enough for someone who sits all day long even on days with gym class. That could be just me though Sports It would be better to talk about movement. The more we move and the more exhausting those movements are the more energy we burn. The more we move and the more exhausting those movements are the more muscles will be built. The more muscles we have the more energy we use up to feed those.
This is so much win. I have told this everyone who asked me about how to lose weight. Muscles always need energy. Even when they are resting. So the more muscles you have the more weight you'll lose. Some girls are worried about looking like Hulk once they start to work-out, but rest assured. You won't build up muscles that fast and also, muscles are much leaner and smaller than fat.
Ok, admittedly this is what everyone told me and this won't change the fact that body builders look like body builders, BUT first lose those fat pads around your hips, and after that are you allowed to complain about your abs They will mostly aim on muscle building by training with weights.
For those who have never been to the gym, beginners will usually start out by training with weight machines, which dictate certain movements with adjustable weights, e. Normally you do sets of around 15 repetitions per exercise and use a weight which will make you unable to lift one more time. For those who want something more fun or can't get a gym membership aerobic, Tae Bo, Pilates, etc are a good alternative. Some are more on the cardio side alright, but also provide a certain workout for your muscles, especially with dumbbells.
You can easily do them at home with youtube trainers like blogilates. Also, don't quote me on nothing x! Although I don't like to provide you with information that I don't regard as 'true' myself, I'm neither a nutritionist or a doctor.
