Korean Switch-On Diet: Lose 4.5kg in 4 Weeks? Experts Weigh In

  • The Korean Switch-On diet, created by Dr Park Yong-Woo, promises to eliminate stubborn fat without muscle loss in just four weeks by activating metabolism.
  • Key rules include strict elimination of processed foods, caffeine, alcohol, and excess sugar, focusing on high-protein foods, 2L water, 6+ hours sleep, supplements, and high-intensity workouts.
  • The diet incorporates intermittent fasting, starting with 10-14 hours daily, and progressing to 24-hour and multi-day fasts in later weeks.
  • The four-week plan involves a gut reset (Week 1), escalating intermittent fasting (Weeks 2-4) with specific meal and shake guidelines.
  • Experts caution that this intense program may not suit everyone and advise consulting a healthcare professional before starting.

Why It Matters: The Korean Switch-On diet offers rapid fat loss but is intense; professional consultation is advised.
