Broadcaster Pungja revealed his dieting method.
On the 16th, the "Pungja TV" channel uploaded a video titled "It's a diet, so simply 20 rolls of gimbap."
That day Pungja held a gimbap mukbang he made himself with staff. He asked a staff member who, like him, succeeded in dieting, "Tell me the secret to losing 21kg," and the staff explained, "I eat one meal a day and exercise two hours. I take something like PT classes and ride the Stairway to Heaven for about 40 minutes."
Pungja said, "It's the same as me," and added, "But I felt something this time. While dieting this time I was almost always at the PT shop. Just do PT. If it's too hard, even if you use your phone there, go. Do that and really eat one meal a day and keep fasting as long as possible. The problem is that when you diet, the textbook methods seem to work cleanly. I lost weight while exercising this time. There were times I didn't want to do it for ten or fifteen days and skipped, but I don't gain any weight at all," saying he is making smooth progress with his diet.
A staff member agreed, "You don't really gain weight if you burn it off by exercising. Even if it's a real hassle you have to go with the mindset that you'll at least do 30 minutes of cardio," and Pungja nodded, saying, "That's what works for me."
He said, "And the good thing is that because I exercise my body feels less stiff. I like that. I never thought I'd have this kind of conversation," and confessed, "Dieting is hard to commit to. I know the process well. No one who diets doesn't get more irritable. But I don't get more irritable. Instead I have less energy. (As I age) it doesn't come off easily. When I was young, after drinking for two days and just sleeping I would lose 3kg. If I fasted for two days 2–3kg would drop quickly."
He continued, "And another thing I realized: if you can't maintain it in the first place, maybe it's right not to lose it. The yo-yo effect is so severe. The yo-yo comes back twice as badly, and I hate that. But now I've lost exactly 22kg. After that I don't go hard. If I feel stiff I go to PT. When I eat, I eat like this. So these days I just try not to gain. There are days I gain about 1–2kg. Then I immediately slim down tightly. But exercise will never become a hobby. I'm just going at a sort of rehabilitation level," he said.
