The Secret Behind The Extreme Weight Loss
When Kim Sun-ah became a guest on JBTC’s talk show Let’s Eat Dinner, she revealed everything she had to do to make her body to suit the role of the dying woman, Lee Yeon-jae. She said, “…For four months, I ate rice once a day and slept for about two hours a day. It was really difficult, but I wanted to devote myself to the role. It was very painful and intolerable.” She added. “To be honest, a lot of people ask me about my diet, but I truthfully do not want to tell them. More than anything, I am afraid of people of following me because the diet is not a healthy one.” After hearing what she said, it was obvious that her diet wasn’t healthy to give a high result in a short time. She definitely did not want people to follow her, because it was dangerous for her health. Only eating rice once a day wouldn’t give all the nutrients your body needs. Having a balanced diet and doing routine exercise is the best thing to do to control your weight. For people who are concerned about her healthiness, she wanted to end the suffering as soon as she done with this project. She said, “I really enjoy exercising, but given the conditions, I couldn’t do it often. After I’m done with this project, I plan on using that chance to train my body again. My mental health is still good.”
