Yoon Kyesang loses 14kg in 3 weeks...The one food he chose?
[Celebrity Health] Singer and Actor Yoon Kye sang's Diet Secrets
Yoon Kyesang recently revealed that he lost 14 kg in just three weeks for his role as an elderly person with dementia in a drama. He explained, "In the drama, my character, Sangjun, appears as an elderly person 20 years in the future. I wondered what he would look like if time stood still for him. I decided it would be good for me to lose some weight for the role."
Yoon Kyesang mentioned that he lost the weight by eating only chicken breast. He said, "I ate just one chicken breast a day and basically starved myself. If you control your appetite well, anyone can lose weight."
Risks of Eating Only One Type of Food for Diet
Many people try to lose weight by eating only one type of food, like Yoon Kyesang did. This method can work for a short period, but it's harmful to health in the long run. Diets that involve eating only one type of food, like chicken breast, can lead to weight gain again (yo-yo effect) and cause nutrient imbalances.
Chicken breast is low in fat and calories, making it a popular choice for weight loss. It's rich in protein, which helps build muscle and can reduce appetite and maintain fullness. However, eating only chicken breast can lead to deficiencies in vitamins and minerals. For example, chicken breast lacks vitamin C, which is important for the immune system. This can result in lower immunity, fatigue, and constipation.
Eating only vegetables and fruits, another type of one-food diet, also has problems. While these foods provide fiber, vitamin C, and other nutrients, they lack protein. A lack of protein can weaken the immune system, cause hair and skin problems, and lead to fluid retention and swelling.
Healthy Weight Loss Tips
For a healthier approach to weight loss, it's better to aim for gradual changes. Instead of rapid weight loss, aim to lose about 10% of your body weight over six months. Ensure you get enough protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Combining a balanced diet with both cardio and strength training exercises is important for burning fat and building muscle.
