Curious About the Weight-Loss Soup♡

A diet method that was a hot topic not long ago.

Do you know what "Witch's Soup" is?

(It's said that the more you eat, the more you lose weight....!)

The pre-wedding period is the time when you most want to work hard on your diet in your life. And it's also the time when your efforts yield the greatest rewards, so I want to try all the diet tips that catch my attention.

What is Witch's Soup＊

When you think of Witch's Soup, you might imagine a witch stirring a big pot saying "Ehehehe!" while scheming (like generating poison)...

The Witch's Soup that has become a topic in Korean dieting is almost synonymous with the "Fat Burning Soup" that you all probably know.

Making a large amount in a big pot and eating the same vegetable soup for a week links to the idea of a witch making a large pot of soup, which is why it's called "Witch's Soup."

The fat-burning soup has been around for quite some time, and it's similar to the "Cabbage Soup Diet" adopted in the dieting program in the obesity-prone country of America (where you continue to drink a vegetable soup mainly made of cabbage).

It's also said to be similar to the dietary methods recommended by doctors for patients to lose weight before surgery (as being overweight can increase the technical difficulty of the surgery), so certain effects can be expected.＊

How to Make and Eat Witch's Soup

The key point of Witch's Soup is that while it eliminates sugars, protein is okay to consume!

The Mechanism Behind Losing Weight with Witch's Soup.

The calories in the soup introduced above are about 160-200 calories per cup.

It’s lower in calories than rice, so the overall calorie intake should be significantly reduced compared to your usual diet, leading to weight loss.

Unlike intermittent fasting, which prohibits eating altogether (you can eat the soup), it’s free from the stress of not being able to eat.♡

During the first 1-4 days, you have no protein and are living on a low-calorie diet to lose weight.

Fat burning starts around the 3rd or 4th day. If the body lacks carbohydrates, it will start breaking down muscles for fat burning, which is why protein is supplemented from the 5th day.

The Witch's Soup should not be continued for more than a week; it is best regarded as a 7-day program, and after those 7 days, it's good to take a solid break.

Perfect for the Final Push Before the Wedding!

Vegetable soup is warm, delicious, and can be easily transported in a jar for lunch—it's the best!

(Adding ginger or chili peppers makes it warming, perfect for preventing chills!)

Isn't it ideal to be eating delicious food while losing weight on low calories?

If you get bored eating the same flavor, try adding spices and herbs to enjoy it in different ways!＊

It might be a good idea to try Witch's Soup for your diet leading up to the wedding.♩
