Cheat day

Menu development

“Of course, it is.” If it’s okay to wear it even when cosplaying as Gungye.

Jujiseung answered hesitantly.

“Even better.” He used to be a monk, but now he feels like he’s gone astray. “Since we’re going to add meat dishes anyway, I think we can proceed with that and use your image.”

“I’m telling you, I’m not a monk.”

“Sub-character.” Just act half-heartedly.

Suspiciously fluent Japanese hosts or suspiciously skilled trot singers.

The activity of secondary characters is already being accepted by the public as a familiar concept.

Joo Ji-seung stroked his chin in thought.

“I think I look good too.” It doesn’t affect the older brother concept, and it also promotes the lunch box.

“Anyway, it’s something we do every day on the show, right?”

When Baek Woo-jin and Choi Mi-kael stepped forward to persuade, I let out a hollow laugh.

“It seems like I’m getting more and more work.”

“The captain usually has a lot to do.”

“I’m going crazy.” Got it. Got it.

When pushed once more, they reluctantly accepted.

“But what about the menu?”

Baek Woo-jin brought up the main point again.

“You have to give him chicken breast, you know?”

“That’s just like you, bro.” Older brother, people who go to the gym must be fed up, right?

When Cha Ji-chan expressed his opinion, Baek Woo-jin scolded him.

“That’s true.” I bought it thinking it was a delicious diet lunchbox, but how would you feel if it had chicken breast in it?

I also chimed in.

There is a lot of animosity towards chicken breast.

“Perfect for failing.”

When Joo Ji-seung revealed that he shared the same thought, Cha Ji-chan pouted and turned around.

“First of all, we agreed on three side dishes, right?” You can’t avoid some overlap in the ingredients.

“Because of the cost?”

“Right.”

Joo Ji-seung and Baek Woo-jin reached a consensus.

For example, if you’re making mushroom bulgogi, you also make stir-fried mushrooms. You can use the mushrooms, onions, and carrots that go into bulgogi for stir-fried mushrooms too.

Now that I think about it, the costs will definitely go down.

Even if you buy the same ingredients, buying in bulk can lower the unit price.

“Instead, the remaining side dishes should be something else.”

“I wish we had kimchi.” If we have mushroom bulgogi and stir-fried mushrooms, it would be nice to have a spicy and refreshing side dish.

“Right.” It seems like your side is more balanced.

“Chicken breast.”

Just when I thought the meeting was finally progressing, Cha Ji-chan brought up chicken breast again.

When everyone glared at him, Cha Ji-chan raised both hands and shook his head.

“It’s not something to oppose without reason.” What do people think a diet lunchbox is? When you think of dieting, isn’t chicken breast the first thing that comes to mind?

“You hate it the most, don’t you?”

If a lunchbox is to sell, its image is also important. Earlier, why did the topic about Ji-seung’s image come up?

It’s not that I’m stubbornly insisting on chicken breast for no reason; it seems like there’s a good reason behind it.

“Do you know how insect food is sold?”

As I nodded, intending to keep listening to the story, Cha Ji-chan leaned on the desk and began to explain.

There were those who sold it in powder form so that the shape or texture of the bugs wouldn’t be noticeable. There was a place that made and sold food where the insects were visible just as they were. Which one do you think succeeded?

Of course, it’s advantageous for the side that doesn’t retain any form.

“Oh, I know this.”

Baek Woo-jin stepped forward.

Jujiseung also let out a groan and rubbed his chin, as if he knew the story.

“I heard that people who eat bugs actually prefer to keep the insect shape because they want to feel like they’re eating bugs in the first place.”

It was an unexpected event, but upon hearing it, I thought it might be possible.

“Okay.” In the first place, people looking for diet lunch boxes are thinking of eating chicken breast or salad, you know? How about giving those people something similar to a regular meal? The satisfaction level is decreasing.

“Oh~”

When Baek Woo-jin and I admired it at the same time, Cha Ji-chan felt a bit embarrassed.

“That’s true.” I didn’t think of that.

“Ji-chan hyung has a point.” In 1992, a product called Crystal Pepsi came out, and it was literally crystal, clear cola.

Baek Woo-jin, who loves to explain, started the engine.

“We developed a product that was different from the existing cola, but we totally messed it up.”

“Why?”

“Because of the image that cola is black.” Transparent carbonated drinks make you think of cider and Sprite, right? So, people who wanted to drink cola didn’t even glance at Crystal Pepsi.

“Ah.”

So, a diet lunchbox that tastes as good as regular food for people looking for diet lunchboxes. Delicious side dishes can become something to avoid, you know.

“Wow.”

As I admired, Baek Woo-jin lifted his chin and acted smug.

“As Woojin said, we know that we need to consume a balanced and adequate amount of nutrients, but there are still people who don’t know this.”

Cha Ji-chan added a word.

“Should I upload a video?”

Joo Ji-seung came up with the idea.

It’s simple, but it’s the fastest and most certain method we can use.

“A diet plan or something like that.” We’re all standing on one foot, aren’t we?

The banchan store that used to be a mukbang channel has long since switched to diet and storytelling content.

Even though Banya Sikgyeong is a cooking channel, it is related, and Jimgun, while currently focused on exercise and travel, was originally a channel for building a healthy body.

Eugene has been sharing various bits of knowledge, so it will be useful for existing subscribers as well.

“Okay.” Anyway, I was planning to post diet methods starting next week.

I brought up the topic because I plan to make proper dieting methods the new content starting next week, and the three people just stared at me.

“Why?”

“The person speaking is also important.” Right.

“Right.” When this guy talks, it feels like a scam.

“Chanyong, wouldn’t it be better for you to step back?”

Baek Woo-jin, Cha Ji-chan, and Joo Ji-seung took turns scolding him.

“What’s wrong with everyone?” What did I do?

“Listening to what you say, you sound just like a cult.”

“I know it’s nonsense, but it sounds so convincing that it makes me angry.”

“Right now, Chan-young’s body doesn’t really lend much credibility to his talk about dieting.”

These guys are unbelievable. Where can you find someone as genuine as me? “Would a person with diabetes lie about their diet?”

The three people ponder for a moment and then nod.

I’m slightly annoyed.

“So?” How are you preparing for it?

The monk asked.

“At first, I thought about why I made so many mistakes, and it turned out that my perception of dieting itself was wrong.”

Right. Not just you, but quite a few people misunderstand. I did too.

“So, I’m thinking of clearing up that misunderstanding first.”

“That’s fine.” If you need anything, just let me know.

Cha Ji-chan stepped up confidently.

In terms of knowledge related to dieting, you are the most knowledgeable among us, so if any difficulties arise, I should ask you.

“But when are we going to decide on the menu?”

Everyone fell silent at Baek Woo-jin’s question.

“How about mushroom bulgogi for now?”

I can’t think of a better idea, so I’m just staying put, and it seems like Cha Ji-chan and Baek Woo-jin are the same.

“Let’s just make it and eat it first, then think about it.” Anyway, I was planning to make shiitake mushroom bulgogi today.

Bulgogi with shiitake mushrooms?

Today, I will feast.

Please provide the text you would like to have translated.

***

As a result of what I learned from Joo Ji-seung, Cha Ji-chan, and Baek Woo-jin, and the information I gathered on my own about dieting.

I realized that I had completely misunderstood dieting all this time.

Not just me, but probably many people have similar misunderstandings, so I have prepared new content to correct them.

Monday.

As soon as I got to work, I had my first meeting with Mukji.

As I mentioned last time, this content will be uploaded in three parts. The broadcast will continue uninterrupted.

“Yes.”

“Misinformation about diets, commonly misunderstood diet facts, and finally, we plan to proceed with the correct diet methods.”

I skimmed through the research documents that Mukji had handed over.

“Where should we set the goal of dieting?”

To address the misconceptions about dieting, one must understand how people generally perceive dieting.

“It’s about getting slim.”

“That’s right.” So, what do you think is the standard for being slim?

“I believe the BMI should be around 12 to 13.”

“Yes?”

I was taken aback and asked back.

The WHO (World Health Organization) classifies a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 18.5 or higher but less than 24.9 as normal.

A BMI below 18.5 means underweight, but the 12-13 that Mukji mentioned is at a starvation level.

“How tall are you, PD?”

“It’s 160 cm.”

“To have a BMI of 13 at that height, you would need to weigh 35 kg, right?”

Mukbang nodded instead of answering. I feel a strange sense of pride.

I knew I had an eating disorder, but it’s more serious than I expected.

I haven’t meddled in personal issues until now, but if the person preparing this content with me has the wrong ideas about dieting, it won’t work out.

“PD, we definitely need to address this.”

“Yes.”

If the BMI is between 12 and 13, it’s a state of starvation. It’s dangerous.

The aged kimchi is staring at me intently.

Judging by the way they usually speak so clearly, it seems more like they can’t accept what I’m saying rather than having any complaints.

“I know that my standards are different from others.”

Should we just let it go for now?

Mugunji swallowed his words for now as he continued the conversation while looking at the materials.

“Generally, the standard for a slim and pretty body seems to be around 45kg to 48kg.” Because of this, many celebrities have listed their weight as 45kg or 48kg on their profiles.

That’s it. That’s what I’m saying is wrong.

“That’s right.” It should weigh around 35 kg.

“No.” No. No.

I urgently blocked the words.

“Based on PD’s height of 160 cm, at least 50 kg is the minimum normal weight.” Up to 58 kg is normal.

The aged kimchi opened its mouth.

It seems like they don’t believe it.

It’s strange how I handle other things reasonably well, yet I don’t know why I’m so extreme about my weight.

“It’s a figure set by the World Health Organization.” Actually, it varies depending on muscle mass, but at 160 cm and 50 kg, it is considered quite thin. Even so, I think of it based on 45 kg. “Why is that?”

“CEO, may I ask you something before that?”

“Yes.”

“Are you planning to conduct this content like the Baekban Debate?”

“No?” “Why?”

The aged kimchi hesitates rarely.

“It’s okay.” “Go ahead and say it.”

“It’s hard to believe that my ideal weight for my height is 58 kg.”

“Yes?”

“You’re saying that on the air.”

“Broadcasting?” How is it?

“Defamation, threats, slander, incitement, fraud, intrigue, schemes, etc.”

I’m at a loss for words.

I was so dumbfounded and flabbergasted that I wanted to retort, but I had done something wrong, so I couldn’t.

“That’s right.” Okay. That’s true, but this isn’t right. It’s true.

The way he squints his eyes and looks at me makes it clear that he can’t possibly believe me.

I find and show the BMI standards published by the WHO on the tablet, and only then does he nod his head.

Anyway. We need to understand why 45 kg became the standard for being slim. As a guess.

“It’s because of the camera.”

I think the same.

The field of view changes according to the change in the lens focal length. Broadcast cameras have a noticeable difference.

It is already widely known common knowledge.

“That’s right.” So, there are many reviews saying that celebrities look much thinner in person. In reality, even ordinary people look bloated on broadcast cameras.

“That’s right.”

“So, since they lived in front of the camera, they had to lose weight to the point of starvation to look slim on broadcasts.”
