Yes, it is excellent for weight loss because it is incredibly low in calories and the fiber keeps you full for longer. The probiotics also help with bloating and digestion. Just drink enough water as the salt content in kimchi can sometimes make you retain water.

I have seen many people in our health group benefit from adding kimchi to their diet. It adds a lot of flavor to plain meals like rice or boiled chicken without adding fat. Try making a small batch at home so you can control the salt levels.

While trying foods like kimchi for weight loss is fine, please get your thyroid and lipid profile checked first. I spent a year just changing my diet thinking I was lazy, but actually my metabolism was totally down due to a medical condition. Get checked by a doctor first.

In our time we relied on simple home-fermented kanji and dahi for digestion and health, which kept our weight in check naturally. Kimchi works on the same principle of fermentation. Eat simple, natural foods and stay active, weight loss will follow.
