[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 21st, SBS's 'Master in the House' featured special guest Um Jung-hwa revealing her keto diet, captivating the members.

That day, Um Jung-hwa treated the members to dinner. When Um mentioned, "I've been following a low-carb, high-fat diet lately," Yang Se-hyung asked, "Eating less carbohydrates and more fat?doesn't that make you gain weight?"

Um Jung-hwa explained, "That diet changes your energy source to fat. So your body becomes one that burns fat," adding, "This is called 'ketogenic'." The ketogenic diet, in short, is a diet that converts carbohydrates into fat, and it has become a hot trend among dieters for several years.

Following the ketogenic diet, Um Jung-hwa served carb-free gimbap, pork cutlet without batter or breadcrumbs, and rice cake soup without rice cakes. Yang Se-hyung was skeptical about making all these dishes without carbohydrates.

However, when Um Jung-hwa presented konjac rice, he marveled, saying, "I can't tell it's konjac." Um Jung-hwa revealed, "More than losing a lot of weight on the ketogenic diet, thanks to this diet, I was able to stop taking sleeping pills." Yang Se-hyung responded, "I want to tell my friends who take sleeping pills about this."

Um Jung-hwa continued to emphasize, "It also balances hormones, so now I follow this diet for health reasons."

Additionally, Um Jung-hwa completed a low-carb, high-fat pork cutlet using carb-free psyllium husk powder and fried pork skin powder. The members, encountering Um Jung-hwa's low-carb menu for the first time, were continuously amazed and enthusiastically enjoyed the meal.

The SBS variety show 'Master in the House' airs every Sunday at 6:25 PM.
