This is what YouTuber Tzuyang's new 'moderate' mukbang looks like

YouTuber Tzuyang has shifted to a more moderate mukbang style after eating eight packs of instant noodles at a restaurant in Guri, Gyeonggi Province. On Sept. 21, she said eating a lot was no longer the trend and that she would become a YouTuber who eats in moderation. Her change comes as YouTube has tightened rules on eating disorder-related content and monetization.

Tzuyang previously said she had eaten as many as 20 packs of instant noodles in one sitting.

YouTube expanded its guidelines on eating disorder-related content in 2023.

The platform also said it would not provide monetization for content that depicts potentially dangerous behaviors viewers could imitate, including binge eating, hiding or excessively stockpiling food and abusing laxatives.

YouTuber Tzuyang has shown a markedly different approach to mukbang, or eating broadcasts.

Recently, a video was posted on Tzuyang’s YouTube channel showing her eating at an instant noodles restaurant in Guri, Gyeonggi Province. In the video, Tzuyang ate eight packs of instant noodles of different varieties and even mixed rice into the remaining broth. However, compared with the amount she has eaten in the past, it was a surprisingly small portion. Tzuyang previously revealed that she had eaten as many as 20 packs of instant noodles in one sitting, demonstrating her reputation as an exceptional eater.

On Sept. 21, Tzuyang said, “I heard eating a lot is no longer the trend,” adding, “From now on, I’m going to become a YouTuber who eats in moderation.”

Some viewers commented that her more cautious approach appeared to reflect recent attention surrounding YouTube’s content guidelines.

YouTube expanded its guidelines on eating disorder-related content in 2023. In addition to restricting content that glamorizes or encourages eating disorders, the platform also began regulating eating behaviors that viewers, including minors, could imitate.

Its advertising policies were subsequently aligned with the community guidelines. YouTube said it would not provide monetization for content involving eating disorders that depicts potentially dangerous behaviors viewers could imitate, including binge eating, hiding or excessively stockpiling food and abusing laxatives. Some mukbang YouTubers have consequently experienced temporary suspensions of their monetization features.

While Tzuyang did eat less than she has in the past, eight packs of instant noodles is still a substantial amount compared with a typical meal. Depending on the product, one pack of instant noodles contains about 500 calories and a considerable amount of sodium.

Wheat flour, the main ingredient in instant noodles, is a refined carbohydrate that can cause blood sugar levels to rise rapidly. When blood sugar subsequently drops sharply, the brain may perceive this as a state of insufficient energy even when the body does not actually lack energy. This can increase the secretion of ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates appetite, making a person feel hungry more easily.

Excessive sodium intake is another concern when eating instant noodles. Sodium can contribute to high blood pressure and may also hinder weight management. Sodium is known to speed up the movement of food through the digestive system, causing food to be digested more quickly. This can lead to hunger and encourage people to eat more. Sodium is also known to have properties that promote fat retention, which may make it harder to reduce body fat.

For those concerned about their health, one option is to reduce the amount of noodles by half or replace them with tofu noodles or konjac noodles. If cutting down on noodles is difficult, eating slowly and chewing thoroughly can also help.

The brain’s signals responsible for feelings of fullness do not become active immediately after a meal begins. They generally become activated after about 20 minutes, so eating instant noodles slowly may help prevent overeating.

According to a study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, participants who chewed their food 40 times before swallowing consumed 12 percent less food than those who chewed 15 times, regardless of body type.

Adding vegetables such as onions or bean sprouts to instant noodles can provide dietary fiber that may otherwise be lacking while helping reduce sodium intake. Vegetables are rich in potassium, which helps the body excrete sodium. In particular, quercetin in onions has been shown to help break down triglycerides and reduce cholesterol levels.

YouTuber Tzuyang 在京畿道九里市一家餐厅吃掉八包方便面后，改变了以往的吃播风格。9月21日，她表示，暴饮暴食不再是潮流，她将成为一名适度饮食的 YouTuber。她的转变正值 YouTube 收紧对饮食失调相关内容及盈利的限制之际。

子阳之前曾表示，她一次性吃过多达 20 包方便面。

YouTube 于 2023 年扩大了其关于饮食失调相关内容的指导方针。

该平台还表示，不会为描绘观众可能模仿的潜在危险行为的内容提供盈利，包括暴饮暴食、藏匿或过度囤积食物以及滥用泻药。

YouTuber Tzuyang 在吃播（mukbang）方面展现了一种截然不同的方式。

近日，Tzuyang的YouTube频道上传了一段视频，视频中她在京畿道九里市的一家方便面店吃面。视频显示，Tzuyang吃了八包不同口味的方便面，甚至还把米饭拌进了剩下的汤里。然而，与她以往的食量相比，这次的份量却出奇地少。Tzuyang此前曾透露，她最多一次吃过20包方便面，可见她食量惊人。

9月21日，子阳表示：“我听说吃得多已经不再是潮流了，”并补充道：“从现在开始，我要成为一个适度饮食的YouTuber。”

一些观众评论说，她更加谨慎的做法似乎反映了最近人们对 YouTube 内容准则的关注。

2023年，YouTube扩大了其关于饮食失调相关内容的指导方针。除了限制美化或鼓励饮食失调的内容外，该平台还开始规范观众（包括未成年人）可能模仿的饮食行为。

随后，YouTube的广告政策与社区准则保持一致。YouTube表示，对于涉及饮食失调且可能包含危险行为（例如暴饮暴食、藏匿或过度囤积食物以及滥用泻药）的内容，将不会提供盈利。一些吃播博主因此遭遇了盈利功能的暂时中止。

虽然子阳的食量比以前少了，但八包方便面对于一顿普通的饭菜来说仍然是相当多的。根据产品不同，一包方便面大约含有500卡路里和相当多的钠。

方便面的主要成分小麦粉是一种精制碳水化合物，会导致血糖水平迅速升高。当血糖随后急剧下降时，即使身体实际上并不缺乏能量，大脑也可能将其感知为能量不足的状态。这会增加胃饥饿素（一种刺激食欲的激素）的分泌，使人更容易感到饥饿。

食用方便面时，钠摄入过量是另一个需要关注的问题。钠会导致高血压，也可能阻碍体重管理。众所周知，钠会加速食物在消化系统中的移动，使食物更快被消化。这会导致饥饿感，促使人们吃得更多。此外，钠还具有促进脂肪储存的特性，这可能会使减少体脂变得更加困难。

对于注重健康的人来说，一个选择是将面条的摄入量减半，或者用豆腐面或魔芋面代替。如果减少面条的摄入量比较困难，细嚼慢咽也是个好办法。

大脑中负责产生饱腹感的信号并非在进食后立即激活，而是在大约20分钟后才会开始发挥作用。因此，细嚼慢咽方便面或许有助于防止过量进食。

根据发表在《营养与饮食学会杂志》上的一项研究，无论体型如何，咀嚼食物 40 次后再吞咽的人比咀嚼 15 次的人少摄入 12% 的食物。

在方便面中添加洋葱或豆芽等蔬菜，可以补充可能不足的膳食纤维，同时有助于减少钠的摄入。蔬菜富含钾，钾有助于身体排出钠。特别是洋葱中的槲皮素，已被证明有助于分解甘油三酯并降低胆固醇水平。
