MZ women want to lose weight like this...What's the best way to lose weight?
May 15, 2025
There is an increasing tendency among young women to pursue a 'healthy diet' that gives less body strain. In general, diet preferences that show effects quickly or limit calories consumed in a short period of time have decreased, and preferences for blood sugar management diets, such as reducing sugar intake and taking low blood sugar index carbohydrates, have increased.
◇I want both blood sugar management and diet...Short-term diet is on the decline
365mc, a medical institution specializing in liposuction, announced the results of a survey of 578 customers (mostly women) in March on the 15th. In the survey, people in their 20s (172 people) and 30s (296 people) accounted for the majority with 81%, followed by △ 78 people in their 40s and △ 27 people in their 50s.
As a result of the survey, when asked about the 'diet method most interested in these days', the 'sugar limit (mortgage, healthy carbohydrate)' was the highest at 27.4%. Then, △'zero-calorie food or low-calorie food' was 22.4% △ short-term diet 16.4% △ the latest diet treatment drug (such as stomach fat) 15.3% △ calorie-restricted diet 9.5%.
In particular, 'sugar limit' increased by 6.0%p (point) compared to the same survey conducted in the second half of last year (469 customers), and 'zero-calorie food or low-calorie food' also increased by 2.7%. On the contrary, during the same period 'short-term diet' fell by 3.8%, and the latest diet treatments and calorie-restricted diets also fell by 1.9 and 0.8%, respectively.
The sugar-limiting diet is a method of not eating desserts such as △ snacks △ ice cream △ cakes that contain a lot of sugar, but replacing rice and wheat with brown rice and paro (grain) with low sugar content. Refined carbohydrates such as bread, noodles, and rice cakes that call blood sugar spike are also avoided. Overall, it is a way to reduce sugar intake as much as possible and increase the proportion of healthy carbohydrates that do not significantly increase blood sugar.
Eating zero-calorie food, which had the second highest preference, is also associated with blood sugar health. In fact, drinking zero-calorie drinks instead of sugary drinks can reduce the risk of worsening blood sugar. There is also a domestic study that zero foods have a lower increase in blood sugar compared to general foods.
According to the survey results, experts evaluated that younger women tend to prefer a healthy diet.
Chae Kyu-hee, head of the 365mc Nowon branch, said "The way to limit the total calories is likely not to get enough nutrition, and short-term diets are also unhealthy because they can include 'random hunger' to quickly see noticeable effects."
"Now, people prefer relatively healthy methods, such as restricting sugar content among them to manage blood sugar, and eating low-blood sugar carbohydrates instead of refined carbohydrates," he said. "The tendency to favor healthy Pleasure has grown among the younger generation, and the slow aging 's slow aging' seems to be the reason for the big trend as a health trend."
◇How to make sugar-restricted diet healthier?
Unlike the calorie-restricted diet, the sugar-restricted diet focuses on 'sugar content' rather than the total calories of the diet. Compared to the calorie-restricted diet, which increases the risk of binge eating as the diet gets longerThere is less risk of development or bulimia. This is because the key is to fill up enough nutrients mainly in low-sugar foods without limiting calories.
If you are starting a sugar-limiting diet, it is recommended to avoid high-sugar starch foods such as rice, noodles, bread, potatoes, and desserts with a lot of sugar and take enough of △ sweet potatoes, whole grains △ white meat △ legumes △ vegetables △ seaweed.
In addition, the habit of eating fruit after meals can increase blood sugar rapidly, so it is better to avoid it. Sweet condiments such as sauces and ketchup, pickled and various boiled dishes also use a lot of sugar, requiring caution.
Jeon Eun-bok, director of the Diet and Nutrition Center at the Global 365mc Daejeon Hospital, said "The sugar-restricted diet has various health benefits, such as reducing body fat, reducing fasting blood sugar, lowering blood cholesterol levels, and improving hypertension."However, if you eat a sugar-restricted diet every meal, you may experience muscle loss and dizziness, so it is desirable to practice only one meal a day." he advised.
※Healthy sugar-restricted diet
Breakfast: △ Unsweetened soy milk, 1~2 eggs, a little nuts such as walnuts and almonds △ Unsweetened Greek yogurt, nuts, 1~2 eggs
Lunch: I recommend a Korean menu with a proper amount of protein and vegetables, while eating regular meals.
Dinner: For dinner, 'low-carb high-protein meals' would be good. △ Braised vegetables in 150-200g chicken and duck meat △ Shrimp, squid, eel, salmon 150-200g △ Soft tofu egg soup or steamed (tofu is Banmo) and vegetables △ 200g pork or beef lean meat and vegetables.
