Hyoyeon of Girls’ Generation said in January that she succeeded in losing 9kg thanks to intermittent fasting prior to GOT the Beat’s activities, a group formed through gathering female artists from SM Entertainment. Appearing on a radio program at the time, she explained the reason she went on a diet was that “I don’t care if I’m chubby because I’m promoting solo. But during [activities for] GOT the Beat, my fellow members were too slender”.
Hyoyeon said she started intermittent fasting with Seohyun, a fellow member of Girls’ Generation. Intermittent fasting is a diet method that limits glucose intake and uses fat stored in the body as an energy source to lose weight.
Hyo-yeon said, “I saw Seohyun fasting intermittently, and it was very effective,” and added, “I was satisfied because I kept my hunger for 16 hours and ate everything I wanted to eat for the rest of the day”. “Maybe it’s because my body has been adjusted, but it’s good that I don’t gain weight easily”, Hyoyeon added.
