Dieting Doctor’s Bold Claim: “I Will Lose 10 kg in 3 Weeks” After 3 Hamburgers
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA – Koo Seong-hwan, a physician specializing in preventative medicine, has publicly announced his intention to lose 10 kilograms (approximately 22 pounds) in three weeks, despite consuming three hamburgers. The unusual diet strategy, detailed in a recent Kormedi.com article,centers around drastically reducing calorie intake from common hamburger accompaniments – specifically,French fries and soda.
The core of Koo’s approach hinges on identifying “french fries” as a important contributor to excessive calorie consumption. The article explains that while a hamburger alone can be incorporated into an intermittent fasting diet, the addition of French fries and sugary drinks elevates a meal to 1000-1200 kcal, far exceeding the recommended 300-600 kcal for a single meal. Koo advocates substituting French fries with low-calorie alternatives like salad (minimizing dressing to reduce calories by 20-40 kcal), coleslaw (100-150 kcal per 100g, lower in calories, fat, and sodium, and rich in fiber and antioxidants), or cucumber pickles (virtually calorie-free and filling).
The article emphasizes that even with these substitutions,limiting hamburger consumption to once a week or less is advisable for those actively dieting. The high saturated and trans fat content of fried potatoes, coupled with the sugar in soda, are identified as detrimental to blood vessel health and overall weight loss efforts.
