Singer Soyou complained about side effects from dieting.
On the 27th, a video titled 제 몸무게는요.. 역대급 InBody에 충격받은 소유? | 다이어트 후 유지하는 꿀팁 대공개 was uploaded to the "Soyou-gi" channel.
That day Soyou said, "You can tell I've lost a lot of weight. So when I put on my pants they became too big. Today I'm going to check the pants I need to have altered. Honestly, every time I put on pants I feel like I've really lost a lot of weight," and complained, "The situation now is that when I put on pants I don't need to unzip them to go to the bathroom. I can just pull them down and up."
Afterward she selected the pants that needed alterations. When asked why she alters clothes instead of throwing them away, Soyou said, "First, they were pieces with a nice fit. I want to keep that fit. And there are specific things I wear with each item. I really don't shop much. But if I buy again, actually going to try things on is bothersome. Altering these clothes is a little pledge that I will keep this body."
She continued, "At first I thought I'd go back to how I was after album promotions, but no. I'll maintain it. I'm also leaving for a month-long stay, and I'll work out really hard then. I'll build my hips again a bit. I made a promise with my stylist that my butt won't go back to how it was. Back then it was 40 inches. Will I grow it back?? I don't prefer an extremely thin body. People ask if Soyou's aesthetic pursuit has changed, but it's not that; I lost weight because of PDA and it keeps falling off. This is an emergency situation. I must never fall below 50kg, but when I weighed myself a few days ago it exactly read 49kg. No, I can't let that happen, so when I go for the month-long stay I'll work out hard and come back healthy," she said.
When asked which parts she cares about as someone who maintains weight, Soyou said, "First, keeping up consistent exercise. Cardio seems to have a really big effect and I still work out three hours each time. That doesn't mean I take extra protein. I just eat what I want. But it would be like, 'You're already full?' That's about how it is. When measuring a bowl of rice, I don't think I've ever eaten half a bowl. I eat about 1.5/4. At home I usually eat konjac rice if possible. When I was dieting I didn't eat ramen, but now I sometimes leave ramen uneaten. When I cook one packet I sometimes leave some. I tend to keep dinner simple. I eat more for breakfast or lunch," she said.
She added, "If I eat a lot it's like two meals, otherwise it's one. Dinner is just a taste. When you diet, cravings and desire for food grow. Eating only this all the time creates a cheat day moment where you might let yourself go. That's why I eat everything. Once hunger is satisfied I stop. I drink water before meals and that makes me eat less because my stomach feels fuller. So I usually drink a lot of water," and emphasized, "People keep thinking I'm forcing myself to lose weight, but I'm not."
Later Soyou, who also revealed her InBody results, said, "I was surprised that my visceral fat dropped to level 2. Right now I'm 'thin.' Lately I've been working out more intensely, so my body always hurts. Yesterday I did back, lower body and abs and my stomach hurts so much now. I used not to do ab exercises, but now I do. But after losing this much weight, no matter how much I eat my stomach doesn't protrude. That's great. Being thin means I can wear all kinds of clothes. However, as someone who maintains weight I feel like when you lose a lot it keeps falling off scarily. The side effects are severe. Going toward thinness made me dizzy and I developed severe orthostatic hypotension. So when you lose weight you should take supplements and eat healthy food," she offered as a tip.
Regarding her goal as a maintainer she said, "Actually weight itself isn't that important, but 53kg seems just right. As muscle increases weight will rise quickly anyway. Looking now I look thin and weak, right? I don't feel like health is that great, so I want to maintain healthily."
