42kg Han Sohee's secret to her slim figure is chicken breast shakes?

Han Sohee, who is 165 cm tall and weighs 42 kg, maintains a slim figure. Recently, she posted a video on her blog titled "Kyeongseong Creature 2: My First and Last Vlog."

In the video, Han Sohee said, "Yesterday, I ate about four snacks before bed, so today I will only have chicken breast shake (chicken juice) out of conscience. I want to show a better version of myself through training."

Low-calorie, protein-rich chicken breast

The chicken breast she chose is a popular food for weight loss. It is low in fat and high in protein, which helps build and maintain muscle. In 100 grams of chicken breast, there is about 23 grams of protein and only about 0.5 grams of fat, making it suitable for weight loss.

Chicken breast also contains healthy unsaturated fats, which are good for brain development and can help prevent high cholesterol and vascular diseases. According to the journal of the Korean Society of Food and Nutrition, chicken breast has lower cholesterol than thigh or wing meat and contains beneficial compounds like retinol and alpha-tocopherol, which have antioxidant effects.

Shake Form is Less Dry and Convenient to Eat

However, chicken breast is made of white muscle fibers, which can lose moisture and become dry. Chicken breast can be prepared in various ways, such as grilling, frying, steaming, or making soups. Adding fruits, vegetables, and nuts to chicken breast salad or making a shake can make it more enjoyable and less dry.

The shake that Han Sohee consumed can be a good alternative for those who find it difficult to eat protein supplements or who have an upset stomach. It is also recommended for those who dislike the dryness of chicken breast or find it inconvenient to cook it every time.

You can buy ready-made products or make your own chicken breast shake. Famous singer Kim Jongkook makes a shake with 10 grapes, 400 grams of boiled chicken breast, kale, baby cabbage, three tangerines, one banana, and 25 almonds, blending them together after his workouts.

Caution with High Protein Intake

However, if you replace regular meals with chicken breast frequently, it may lead to nutritional imbalance. High protein intake can create excess nitrogen waste in the body, which can strain the kidneys, so those with kidney issues should be careful.

Moreover, diets high in animal protein can lead to calcium loss and affect bone health. Eating too much meat generates more acidic hydrogen ions in the body, causing it to release calcium to balance the acid-base levels. Therefore, it’s better to include plant-based proteins, like tofu and beans, in addition to animal proteins.
