Chuseok, the Korean harvest festival, is known for its rich and indulgent dishes such as galbijjim (braised short ribs), jeon (pan-fried battered food), japchae (stir-fried glass noodles), and songpyeon (half-moon shaped rice cakes). These festive meals can lead to consuming over 10,000 calories in a day, causing many people to gain 2-3 kg during the holiday. Experts suggest setting a 'reset week' post-holiday with cardio exercises and light strength training to recover. Managing caloric intake and maintaining a healthy lifestyle after Chuseok is essential, especially for those with hypertension or diabetes. Though enjoyed during the celebrations, the aftermath requires dedication to shed the extra pounds.
