Karppausaalto (ihka ehta runsaselukkarasvainen LCHF-karppaus!) pyyhkii yli Etelä-Korean. Voin ja sianlihan kysyntä ovat kasvussa. Karppaus on suosituin dieetti. Toiseksi suosituin on pätkäpaastoilu.
Korea Joogang Daily 5.3. 2017: Health enthusiasts flock to trendy low-carb high-fat diet : Despite controversy, butter and pork see increase in salesLainaa:

A diet craze has swept the nation with its promises for weight loss using rather unconventional means. The so-called low-carb high-fat (LCHF) diet, similar to the Atkins diet or the recently popular ketogenic diet, was introduced to Korea through a three-part television documentary special aired late last year by author and documentarian Hong Ju-yeong.
Her documentary series became a hot topic of discussion, especially as the participants of its study claimed to have recorded a drastic weight loss while eating as much butter and pork as possible, which seemed almost too good to be true for most dieters. The fantastic claim and biggest appeal of LCHF was written in bold on the cover of Hong’s book released last month - “Forget about calories, the only thing to remember is low carbohydrates and high fat!” Heh, "diettihullutus"

. Sikaa ja voita mielinmäärin. Tästä perinteisesti karnivorit korealaiset tykkäävät. Etelä-korealaisten naisten eliniänodote pompsahtaa yli 90 vuoen alta aikayksikön. Karppaus pitää terveenä ja pätkäpaastolu nuorena. Hyvin menee Etelä-Korealla.
