Red Velvet Wendy weight loss

The Red Velvet Wendy Diet

19. März 2019SebastianKpop Dietkorean diet, kpop, kpop dietLeave a comment

Wendy is a member of the Korean girl group Red Velvet and her appearance over the last couple of months left many fans speechless. It seems like she has lost a lot of weight compared to prior appearances. According to Wendy herself, her weight is changing a lot in both directions for different reasons. But it does look like she is on a strict diet. Especially, before their comebacks. 

The truth is that nothing is really known about what Wendy eats and how much she eats on a daily basis. But it looks like that Red Velvet Wendy diet contains only 350 calories a day according to sources in the industry. If this is true, it is a super unhealthy way of eating. This eating habit would contain almost no nutrients and wouldn’t give your body enough energy to operate properly throughout the day. 

There is no question that you would lose a ton of weight, if you would do the Red Velvet diet. But the health factor is more important here. As we laid out in other articles, there are better and healthier ways than starving yourself. Starving yourself will never be a long term solution for your fat loss. The Red Velvet Wendy weight loss seems to be one of these crazy Kpop diets that should have nothing to do with your daily diet. 

If you want to learn how to lose weight without starving yourself, while eating super delicious Korean food, make sure to have a look at our Korean diet guide. 

Additionally, it seems like as if the workout part of a successful diet often gets overlooked by many. If you look at a Kpop group like Red Velvet. What do you think they do during most of their day? Thats right, they dance and workout. I am sure they don’t spent all day in the gym, but they do spent a lot of time learning their choreographies and dance their butts off. 

If you want to lose weight than you have to understand that less food alone will not cut it. You have to eat the right food, the right amount of food and you have to exercise. 

The Red Velvet Wendy diet is just an extreme Kpop-ish way of dieting. I am sure you would like to know what exactly Wendy eats and how much she eats on a daily basis. But for now, we have no information on that. In case you are interested what other Kpop idols eat, make sure to check out our articles about the best Kpop diets. 

Dieting has always been a huge part of becoming and being a Kpop idol. But the trend in recent years seems to be a more sporty body compared to a skinny body. If you have a look at different idols these days and compare them to idols from a couple of years ago, you will see the difference. I think that workouts become more and more important for idols. Sure, there will always be extreme approaches like the Red Velvet Wendy Diet or this crazy Kpop diet, but the body image has definitely changed over recent years. 

This is something you should take in mind, if you want to lose weight. Don’t starve yourself! Eat the right amount of healthy food and find a workout that you enjoy and that you can stick to for a long time. The perfect body that you dream about doesn’t appear over night. It takes patience and dedication. Even the Red Velvet Wendy weight loss didn’t come over night. 

What do you think about the Red Velvet weight loss situation? Would you consider eating like this, or are you rather focusing on good food and a strong workout? Please let me know in the comments below. Let’s talk.

The IU diet and her weight loss explained

5. Juni 2017SebastianKpop DietIU Diet, IU weight loss, korean diet, kpop diet23 Comments

The IU diet is a weight loss journey that you should know more about and we will also show you, how you can implement her eating habits and exercise routine into your daily life. Learn how the IU diet plan looks like and make sure to include the right parts of it into your life.

But wait, who is IU? For the few who don’t know her, she is one of the most popular and most beloved Kpop idols of these days. And she is also one of the prettiest Korean celebrities out there. Before we get into the diet and exercise details, here are some body facts about IU, to make sure you know exactly how and if you can compare yourself to her:

[agni_list icon=“ion-heart“]
  • Height: 162 cm
  • Weight: 45 kg
[/agni_list]
[agni_section_heading divide_line=““ heading=“This is the IU Diet“]

The following is the diet IU goes through, when she has to loose weight quickly. For example, before a photo shoot or before filming. So please take in mind that this is not a long term fix for your daily diet and should not be done without consulting your house doctor. The IU diet is basically structured like this:

  • 1 apple for breakfast
  • 1 sweet potato for lunch
  • 1 proteine shake for dinner

This is really not much to eat, when you consider that Kpop idols also have an extreme exercise and practice routine. The three meals together make for about 700 calories a day, which could vary depending on the portion shake she was drinking for lunch. We are not sure which protein shake IU was drinking during her diet, but we would recommend a misugaru shake, if you want to stick with Korean food.

As you can see, this is not a long term fix for your daily food intake and IU herself admitted that she received treatment for bulimia, in the past. So anybody who wants to copy her diet, should be aware of the risks and should consult a doctor about this.

This is quite the extreme Kpop diet and we don’t recommend you be on this weight loss experience for long. What we alternatively recommend for you is a healthy Korean diet that will provide you with tasty and healthy food, while you loose weight in the long term. You should also check out this 2-Week diet that will change your life.

[agni_image img_url=“4485″ img_link=“1″]
[agni_section_heading divide_line=““ heading=“The Korean Diet is the solution „]

Alternatively to one apple, one sweet potato and one protein shake per day, we recommend our Korean diet plan, which will help you in a meaningful way. If you want a quick and not so healthy solution for your weight than the IU diet might be for you. But if you have a few more days of patience and some love for your health and body, you should really check out our diet plan.

We build a diet that is based on healthy and delicious Korean food and an easy to follow Kpop workout. You can find all the details and the diet plan for the first week here.

By the way, if you need some good music to work out to, why not use this song by IU:

[agni_video auto_play=““ mute=““ url=“https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42Gtm4-Ax2U“]

One last thing, before you start the IU diet or try our Korean diet plan. We believe that good food habits, some exercise and Korean cosmetic 😉 can get you the body you desire. In the end its all about changing your current habits and try something new. We hope we can help you with your weight loss and please let us know in the comment section below, if you have any further questions or thoughts about the IU diet and her weight loss.

Hyuna Weight Loss and Diet

10. August 2016SebastianKpop Dietdiet, Hyuna, korean diet, kpop diet, Weight loss1 Comment

Losing weight can be hard but some Kpop idols make it look so easy. The Hyuna weight loss is one of those cases. But was it really that easy for the former 4Minute member to lose all this weight? We will take a closer look at her diet, on the how and how fast Hyuna lost weight. The purpose is to show you how she did it and how you can copy it and integrate the Hyuna diet into your daily life. So you too can have the beautiful body you desire and deserve.

Here are some Hyuna body facts that might help you to put her weight loss into the right perspective. Don’t forget that everybody is different:)

Hyuna Body Facts
Height: 164 cm
Weight: 50 kg
Measurements: 86-63.5-86 cm
Dress Size: 6 (US)
Bra Size: 32B
Shoe Size: 9.5 (US)

Hyuna Weight Loss Secrets

If you followed Hyuna’s career you can see that she lost quite an amount of weight more than once. She, for example claimed, that she lost 17 Kilograms since primary school. Which is quite the achievement. But how did she do that? According to herself, she took the stairs instead of the elevator every time she had the choice. We think that is a great idea and very easy to implement into your daily life.

The other thing she did was a little bit more dramatic: She cut out all flour-based foods. Living in Korea, we can easily see how this is possible. Because most of the meals here are not made out of flour. Which makes it rather easy to follow this kind of diet. I

f you don’t live in Korea you might have some difficulties with this method though. Because, especially in the US and Europe, bread is the basic food you can get everywhere. And it might seem difficult at first to get around that. But it is definitely possible and if you want to achieve Hyuna weight loss, you can be successful this way. If you need some scientific proof or some explanation why you should cut out foods made out of flour read this book. It is full of good advice on how to eat healthier.

In addition to cutting out flour-based foods of her diet, Hyuna also decided to eat many small meals instead of a few big meals. You should try this out as well, for a few weeks and see if it helps you with your weight loss.

Finally, dancing had a huge impact on her weight loss. She danced and practised almost every day to make her dream of becoming a Kpop idol come true. That is great news, if you love dancing. Make sure to dance as much as you can and as hard as you can. Alone with friends, just with anybody. Be assured that you will lose weight this way.

If you are not into dancing, don’t worry! Any sport or exercise will help you during the Hyuna diet. How about soccer, basketball, tennis, pilates, yoga or some gym time? The most important thing is to do it regularly and to make it a part of your life.

Bonus: Hyuna also said that she lost all the weight because of Shin JungHwan who she was compared to back in the days. This motivated her even more to lose weight. What does that mean for you? It means that you need a motivation! Why do you want to lose weight? Ask yourself and let us know in the comments below. Motivation is key to fat loss, because their will be days when you don’t feel like exercising and you really want that cake or tasty bread. Your motivation will keep you going!

Korean Weight Loss

Why you shouldn’t take Korean diet pills and what to do instead

19. Oktober 2015SebastianKorean Dietkorean diet, Korean Diet Pills, kpop dietLeave a comment

Korean diet pills seem to be a nice shortcut for a lot of people, who want to lose weight quickly. I understand that many of you would like to kickstart your diet with a little helper. Trust me, we all have been there. It just sounds so good, losing a few pounds by taking a few pills. But there are problems that cannot be fixed with a pill, no matter how many good reviews that product has. And diet pills from Korean are no exception.

I want to give you a few reasons, why you shouldn’t take Korean diet pills, to spare you problems and grieve. But I will also give you an alternative to the pills which will help you to finally lose weight and be healthy.

Lets start with the three reasons why you shouldn’t take Korean diet pills:

1. Only a quick fix

Sure, you can take diet pills and it might help you to lose weight for a while. A few days, maybe even weeks. But as long as you don’t change your entire diet, you will always come back to the starting point. Some might call that the jo-jo-effect, I just call it a bad diet. If you want to fix your weight for a short period of time, go ahead and purchase a couple of pills. But if you really want to lose weight and slim down, you should rather invest the money and the time into something that will actually work longterm and change your life.

2. Risk your health

Yes, there are pills which seem to be save and approved by certain institutes and standards. But they are mainly just blocking your appetite, meaning you just don’t want to eat. And your body needs food to make sure that he can go an entire day. Don’t do this to yourself and your body. It will not last anyway and it is super unhealthy.

The even bigger risk with Korean diet pills, or any other, is the danger of health-threatening products. What if you try that amazing new pill that seems to help everybody and you afterwards have to live with horrible consequences because the product ist just a mixture of bad ingredients. And some of them might even be dangerous to you. An increase in heart attack risk is one of these dangers, to just name one example. Do you really want to take this kind of risk? You don’t have too.

3. Getting addicted

This is not only a problem for people who are easily addicted to anything. It could also become a problem for you. Some of the ingredients are highly addictive, which makes sense because they want to sell you a lot of them. So stay away from them in the first place and don’t take such a risk.

I hope that these three reasons are enough to keep you off any Korean diet pills. If you are still interested in some pills, please comment on this article and some of our readers might be able to give you some advice and share experiences with you.

What can you do instead of taking a Korean diet pill?

Looking around on our website, you can find a lot of helpful advice and case studies from Kpop idols and how they lost weight. Read some of them and learn from their lessons.

Other than that there is only one way for you to get that sexy, skinny Korean body that you have been desiring for years. Change your diet! This doesn’t mean that you have to starve or that you have to quit your favourite food. It just means that you have to make a few small changes in your life. Our article about the Kpop Diet might do wonders for you.

Don’t get me wrong, some Koreans and Kpop idols do take diet pills to lose fat. And Kpop singers are well known to starve themselves to the limit. But you should stay away from these ways of losing weight. We recommend you go the long distance and you will get rewarded a slim and healthy body eventually.

It is all about your daily habits, the food you eat, how much you exercise and how much you really want that desirable body. And you don’t have to risk your health to get to your goals. Please let me know, in the comments, about any experiences you had with diet pills and what our readers should do instead.

SNSD Diet Plan

7 Diet Lessons You Can Learn From SNSD

15. Juli 2015SebastianKpop Dietgirls generation diet, korean diet, kpop diet, SNSD, SNSD diet, SNSD diet plan2 Comments

The girls from SNSD are not only famous for their wonderfully bubble gum like music, but also for their fascinating ways of dieting. We talked about the SNSD diet before and decided, due to great demand, to give you more information on this particular Kpop diet. We decided to start it off with 10 diet lessons we all can learn from Girls Generation. There will be more content in the future, but let’s get started with this list of actionable weight loss advice.

SNSD Diet

1. The right amount of food matters

You will not lose a considerable amount of weight, if you are not able to control your meal portions. You have to be as strict with yourself as Jessica was reportedly with herself by only eating half an egg instead of an entire one. This might sound crazy, but it shows that you have to limit your portions.

2. Eat more than 3 meals a day

Tiffany went on record and said that the girls „definitely eat more than 3 meals a day“ and specifying it by adding that “We eat 5 meals a day.” Which is reasonable and understanding if you take in consideration that they workout a lot. So rather go for five small meals than for three big ones. According to research, it is very healthy to spread out your meals throughout the day.

SNSD Diet

3. You have to exercise

Hyoyeon mentioned that the girls „exercise when we think we have gained weight“. I think that this is quite an understatement though. Because the girls are busy with their dance workouts every day and this is a fantastic way to burn some calories. Tiffany also does yoga which seems to help her quite a bit to stay in shape.

4. Genetics and metabolism matter

A strict diet and a hard workout regime will not have the same results for everybody. All members of Girls Generation seem like they have the perfect metabolism. But not everybody is that lucky. So it might take you some more work than it takes them.

5. Drink a lot of water

Tiffany said in an interview with Elle Magazine that she drank 1500ml of water everyday before a video shooting. It is also backed by scientific research that the right amount of water can have a big impact on your weight loss goals.

SNSD Diet Plan

6. You are not a girl group member (supposedly)

When starting your diet, you have to take in consideration that you don’t have the same schedule as the girls from SNSD. You don’t have to make it through 3,5 hours of a dance-heavy show on a regular basis. Meaning. you have to adjust your diet to your life.

7. You need a good motivation

Some of the girls don’t have to worry about staying in shape at all. Others such as Jessica and Tiffany did have to put a lot of effort in their diet. And they did it because they knew they had to. They wanted to look good n their videos and on their tour. They were really motivated. You will need a very strong motivation as well.
