Korean nutrition expert, Jung Sung-hee, shares insights about the balance of metabolism and the importance of consuming certain nutritious foods, like beef, especially when feeling tired during weight loss. She explains that even when eating only a little, some people gain weight due to their metabolism being stuck in 'storage' mode rather than 'breakdown' mode. By gradually encouraging the body to shift from storing to breaking down, one can lose weight effectively. During the weight loss journey, fatigue often sets in when muscle and water weight decrease. At this critical point, consuming beef can help maintain muscle, replenish nutrients, and restore energy levels due to its rich protein, vitamin B12, iron, and amino acid content. Besides easing the fatigue, beef can also stabilize mood by increasing serotonin levels. Jung recommends pairing beef with green smoothies or dishes like beef stew with vegetables for a balanced, nutritious diet that quenches snack cravings and boosts energy.
