Actress Kang So-ra shared her beliefs about dieting.

On the 15th, a video titled ‘Kang So-ra Talks About Dieting While Talking About Misaeng on an Advertisement Filming Set’ was uploaded to the ‘Sora’s Solo Play’ channel.

In the released video, Kang So-ra showed herself as a professional dieter, having a simple breakfast with salad before filming.

When asked about dieting, Kang So-ra answered, “My diet is exactly 5:5 between diet and exercise. I don‘t work out so hard that I sweat, nor do I restrict my diet too much. I value balanced, consistent management.”

She continued, “Rather than reducing the amount I eat, I choose the type of food I eat. She shared her diet secrets, saying, “I really don’t eat out and I’m very careful about sugar.”

In particular, when asked if there was a franchise hamburger she would recommend to dieters, Kang So-ra said, “The type of franchise isn’t important. What matters is whether you eat French fries and cola or not. The hamburger itself is high in carbohydrates. It has flour, a meat patty, and vegetables.” She advised, “If you can add toppings like vegetables or tomatoes, it’s good for adding more dietary fiber, and a beef patty is better than a fried patty.”

Kang So-ra then surprised everyone by mentioning her favorite hamburger brand, saying, “They’re a handful in size, so I eat two.”

When asked about the time when she was the thinnest, she said, “I was 168cm tall and weighed 48kg in ‘Misaeng,’ ‘Ugly Alert,’ and ‘Mandorong Ttot.’” She confessed, “Back then, it wasn’t a genre that required a lot of body work, so it was possible. If there had been action scenes, I absolutely couldn’t have done it. I even got dizzy when I went down the stairs.”

Lastly, Kang So-ra said, “Since then, I’ve increased my muscle mass so that I look solid even if my weight increases more than that. I try to maintain homeostasis. I tried to embody a routine without gaining weight too quickly.”
