Want to lose weight? Quit instant noodles like Korean actress Kang So-ra
The actress, who lost 20kg after giving birth, didn’t eat cup noodles for years. Here’s why they’re unhealthy and how to make them less so
Korean actress Kang So-ra recently stunned fans by revealing that she had not eaten instant noodles in four years. Known for losing 20kg (44lbs) after giving birth, Kang has kept her diet tight and disciplined.
On a recent episode of MBC’s variety show I’m Sunny Thank You, Kang joined fellow actresses Kim Bo-mi and Kim Min-young, along with comedian Lee Eun-ji, on a trip to Mount Beizi in Guangxi, China.
Lee Eun-ji reacted in disbelief, asking how it was possible to avoid instant noodles for that long.
“I’ve never been a huge fan,” Kang replied, but her blissful expression at the smell of the noodles suggested otherwise, drawing laughter from viewers.
The average packet of instant noodles contains between 450 and 550 calories, largely from refined flour noodles and high-fat soup bases.
