Koo Hye Sun explained that she has been maintaining consistent lifestyle habits for her diet, including getting enough sleep, avoiding alcohol, and following a low-sodium diet. Rather than relying on extreme restrictions, she has focused on sustainable habits that can be practiced in daily life.
Among these, quality sleep is often highlighted as an important factor in weight management. Generally, lack of sleep can increase the secretion of hormones that stimulate appetite while decreasing those that promote fullness, which may lead to overeating. On the other hand, maintaining a regular sleep pattern helps stabilize the body’s rhythm and can have a positive effect on weight control.
Avoiding alcohol is also considered beneficial for weight loss. Alcohol is relatively high in calories and is metabolized first in the body, which can interfere with fat burning. Additionally, drinking is often accompanied by high-calorie foods, increasing overall calorie intake. Simply reducing alcohol consumption can naturally lower calorie intake.
A low-sodium diet can also impact weight. High sodium intake can cause water retention and bloating, while reducing salt can alleviate these effects, making it appear as though weight has decreased. Experts also suggest cutting down on processed foods and using fresh ingredients as a helpful approach.
