Areum recently revealed her diet process through her Instagram. Areum, who said she lost 25kg from 70.8kg in 8 months, summarized a list of diet-related questions she usually received from fans.
First of all, Areum advised, “Rather than thinking about dieting, I’ve been thinking that I should pay more attention to weight control and line management. You can imagine the figure you want first, draw it in your head then think about making your current body become like that.”
During the weight loss period, she kept an empty stomach for 22 hours with intermittent fasting, and only ate between noon and 2 PM. She also did a detoxifying cleanse once a month and exercised every day.
Areum said, “I was so busy that I didn’t have time to eat, but as I wanted to live, I ate chicken breasts and brown rice balls. I rotated this method according to my condition. Some days, I ate as much as I wanted. Instead, I kept an empty stomach for 18~20 hours the next day, and exercise is essential.”
She continued, “Every person has a different physical condition, so you shouldn’t blindly follow it. You have to take care of your body and mind to be healthy. It’s useless if you lose your mental and physical health. First of all, I think you need to put steady efforts in the way you take care of yourself.”
She pointed out that dieting is a matter of will. Areum emphasized, “Even if you can’t go far, all you need is a space where you can freely use your arms and legs. Not having time is an excuse. That’s what I said to myself. If you have will, you can do it.”
Areum, who succeeded in losing 25kg after steady efforts, encouraged, “Exercise helped me endure when I was mentally exhausted, so maybe now, my body seems to look for exercise first when I get tired. Everyone can do it.“
Along with this, Areum revealed the slim body that she achieved through dieting. The solid abs without any flab and the arm line with fine muscles aroused admiration. In particular, Areum caught the eye with a pleasant smile as if she was satisfied.
Netizens showed enthusiastic reactions such as “You’re really cool“, “Dieting is a matter of will! I’m reflecting on it“, “I’ll try my best too“, “Your body is no joke“…
Arum joined T-ara in 2012 and promoted “Day by Day” as an eight-member group with Eunjung, Jiyeon, Hyomin, Qri, Boram, Soyeon and Hwayoung. However, she left the team in July of the following year.
Areum, who tied the knot with businessman Kim Young Geol in 2020, now has two children. Last year, the two made headlines by appearing on TVING’s original program “Between Marriage and Divorce Season 1”.
