KPop Diet #15: T ARA's Hyomin So Crazy Comeback Diet

You can't deny how amazing T-ARA's body figure looks in their most recent So Crazy MV. Hyomin shared on her Instagram (@hyominnn) the diet she was on whilst preparing for the comeback.

The diet includes cucumber, sweet potatoes, eggs and watermelon.

In the second photo, she has chilli sauce instead of watermelon. She also practised choreography along side the diet. I think she probably ate this for breakfast and lunch. As a dinner it has way too less calories (but then again Kpop idols do go on super extreme diets ;__;).

Would you ever try this diet? Lemme know in the comments below~
I'm quite tempted to try it out but knowing me, I will not last longer than a few hours. xD

LA Tone Slim Chewing Gum Review - Does It Work?

Of course in this generation; with such busy lifestyles or maybe we're just plain lazy, we try to opt out for easier routes. When it comes to losing weight; its not any different, a lot of people including myself are too lazy to exercise, so we try to find substitutes. SlimGum is basically chewing gym that is enriched with weight-loss promoting ingredients. So chewing good to lose weight sounds pretty good huh? Simple and easy to do.

As the packaging states it has active weight-lost promoting ingredients:

Green Coffee Bean Extract
Chromium
L-Carntine

^ Those 3 may help to burn fat

Green Tea Extract
Biotin
Thiamine

^ Those 3 help to support metabolism

The purpose of SlimGum is to help reduce your appetite so that you eat less (thus weight lost/management) with its ingredients, while promoting fat in the body to burn. The gum has minty taste which will fade after 5 minutes of chewing. The gum has a rough texture, as you can see in the photos above. But the major question that everyone wants to knows, is weather it actually works or not?.

The answer varies on numbers of conditions. If you were depending on the gum alone for weight lost, the ingredients in the gum aren't high enough for you to see results in a few days or weeks time. You would need to chew these over for 1 month or more, which can be costly as it recommends you to chew 4 per day and you only get 10 in one packet. Of course how much you chew per day can alter the results too.

If you were to chew this along with a diet and exercise, it can be effective as it reduces your appetite. However you could also reduce your appetite with normal regular chewing gum which is a much cheaper alternative.

So does it work? Yes it can. But I personally think it's pricey and not worth the money as it offers the same effects and results that normal chewing gum would.

So what do you guys think of this idea of chewing gum to lose weight? ^_^

KPop Diet #3 - Ga In Gentlemen, HyoSung, Soyu's "One Meal Diet"

This diet has been very popular among Kpop stars such as - Ga In, Hyosung, Soyu and many more.

Ga In spoke about it with OSEN through a phone interview stating, "One week before filming, I received the offer to appear in the music video. I was more nervous when I prepared my own album. I had to wear clothes that revealed a lot of skin, and one week was too short of a time for a proper diet. I ended up eating only one meal a day. More than having a good effect, i chose that diet to console myself."

Hyosung shared "Before the one meal a day diet became popular, I started eating one meal a day since last year. Because I like rice so much, I just ate one good meal a day and lost 5kg after a year of doing so."

Soyu shared "I stopped eating salty foods and limited my intake of carbohydrates. I would sometimes do 1 meal a day, and when I would get hungry, I would eat eggs or sweet potatoes"

The diet is straightforward, eating one meal a day. Since its one meal it would be suggested to eat it middle of the day between 12pm -3pm. This diet will work if you are dedicated to do this long term run.

However there are many pros and cons to this diet.

Pros

Will help weight loss overtime and may see results within a few weeks depending on your weight, exercise and what you eat.
No restrictions, can decide on what you want to eat

Cons

May slow down metabolism, since youre only eating one meal a day and not several.
Some people may not select healthy foods to eat.
No breakfast in the morning, so you'll be tired and have no energy.
Can be unhealthy as you'll be putting your body in a bit of starvation mood.

So would you try this diet or have you already tried it? ^^ I personally dont think I would try this as the cons overweight the pros.

KPop Diet #2 - Nine Muses' Paper Cup Diet & Weight Profile

Earlier this year, Nine Muses grabbed the public's attention with their weight lost. Sera especially revealing that she lost 20kg since debut days! This diet is more for maintaining weight but it should also help lazy ones (like me haha) lose a little weight in general. ^_^ It works by portion control by preventing over eating. The great thing about this diet is that theres no restrictions, so you can still enjoy your meals. But dont be silly and eat cups full of fat lol.

Starting with some of the Ninw Muses member's weight:

Sera: 50kg

Jae Kyung: 50kg

Eunji: 48kg

Hyuna: 50kg

The diet method is super easy and simple, you just prepare 3 paper cups and fill them up.

Cup 1: Fill it with rice (preferably brown or mixed grain)

Cup 2: Fill it with fruit or vegetables (any fruit&veg would be fine ^_^)

Cup 3: Fill it with side dishes (try avoid foods high in salts and fats)

This is not required but to keep it healthy as possible, for side dishes I recommend foods such as skinless or grilled chicken, fish (for your dose for omega 3) kimchi, loads and loads of veggies! etc

Have Fun with this diet haha, I think its quite interesting so I would deffo give it a go soon. ^^ Let me know how it goes for you if you decide to try it~ :3

Note* it will take a while before you start to see results.
