• 'OK Madam 2' Eom Jung-hwa Round Interview.

Actress Eom Jung-hwa revealed that she is managing her health by limiting carbohydrates and sugar.

On the 4th, we met with actress Eom Jung-hwa at a café on Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, to discuss her work in the film 'OK Madam 2' (directed by Lee Cheol-ha).

'OK Madam 2' is a comedic action story about the family of Mi-young (played by Eom Jung-hwa), a former legendary agent who embarks on an extravagant cruise vacation, only to get caught up in a hijacking incident over a blue sea hanbok.

Following her widely acclaimed role in the 2020 summer hit 'OK Madam', Eom Jung-hwa returns after about six years as the lead character Lee Mi-young in the sequel 'OK Madam 2'.

Eom Jung-hwa admitted that managing her weight has become more difficult with age, prompting her to change her diet. She said, "Dieting has become much harder compared to before. As I get older, my body feels heavier, and as my body gets heavier, I feel like even my mind becomes heavier."

She continued, "Even when I tried dieting, the results were not showing well, which was very difficult. After pondering methods, I chose low-carb high-fat (low carbohydrate, high fat) diet and maintained it intensely for about two and a half to three years."

She reported that since changing her diet, she has experienced not only weight loss but also improvements in her health. Eom Jung-hwa stated, "Not only did my weight decrease, but I also experienced lower inflammation levels in my body and clearer blood. Through this process, I learned that carbohydrates and sugar can cause inflammation in the body."

Currently, she no longer strictly adheres to a rigorous low-carb high-fat diet, but has naturally developed a habit of reducing her intake of carbohydrates and sugar. She said, "I am not strictly following low-carb high-fat anymore, but I have naturally started limiting carbohydrates and sugar. I don't strictly follow one meal a day; I eat about one and a half meals, and I can feel my body becoming lighter and healthier."

When she craves bread or sweet foods, she uses alternative foods. Eom Jung-hwa explained, "When I want to eat bread, I find ways like cooking with eggs and allulose or making cookies to eat instead. It gets easier as you get used to it, but it's not easy at first. However, once a habit is formed, restricting your diet again becomes relatively manageable."

She added, "Rather than finding this process painful, I am satisfied because the benefits of my body improving are greater. Maintaining good health is more important than the joy of eating delicious food," conveying her firm belief in health management.
