An expert warned that rapidly gained weight from 'Star Health Ranking Number One' can become permanently embedded in the body if left untreated.

On the 8th, channel A's 'Star Health Ranking Number One' shared tips for people troubled by rapidly gained weight that repetitively occurs during the Chuseok holiday, commonly called "sudden weight gain."

Specialist Kim Se-wan emphasized that there is a "golden time" that must be used to lose rapidly gained weight. Carbohydrates consumed from overeating are initially stored in the liver and muscles as "emergency fuel." Kim said, "Easily gained weight can be burned off relatively easily," and said this golden time is only two weeks.

The problem is if this emergency fuel is not used up within two weeks. Carbohydrates stored as emergency fuel in the body turn into fat after two weeks and solidify, eventually becoming "my fat."

Kim warned that extreme dieting to lose rapidly gained weight is dangerous. The more sudden the weight gain, the more strongly the yo-yo effect can repeat after dieting, because our body has an "obesity memory" that tries to return to the fat state.

He said this yo-yo effect is especially likely to affect middle-aged women. He shocked the studio by saying that women who repeatedly experience yo-yo dieting after menopause have about a 3.5 times higher risk of dying from a heart attack. Therefore, he advised that when sudden weight gain occurs, it is important to respond in a healthy way within the two-week golden time rather than pursuing extreme weight loss.
