BoA talks about her aversion to vegetables as a result of dieting trauma

Article: 'Please Take Care of My Fridge' BoA blames her diet trauma "I don't eat vegetables often because of it"

"Into my late teens, my agency thought I was too overweight so they made me eat salads for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, or blended drinks. I lost a lot of weight that way but then they said I lost too much weight. Because of that negative experience, I don't eat vegetables much anymore."


1. [+291, -17] No wonder BoA never grew in height, all SM did was feed her salads at an age where she needs nutrients to grow tsk tsk. Greedy SM bastards.

2. [+227, -11] Seriously, listening to the lengths BoA went to with her diets makes my diet pale in comparison ㅠ How can you live without carbs ㅜㅜㅜ It was really cute watching her let it all out on the show though ㅋㅋ

3. [+149, -9] Time flew by with this episode, BoA's so charming. I really liked how she judged each dish with such manners and pointed out the pros and cons. Cool on stage but respectful elsewhere.

4. [+29, -1] She was just chubby then.. can't imagine the stress she must've been under being told to lose weight and then being told she lost too much weight. She was just a kid back then.

5. [+24, -1] I remember when she was promoting 'No. 1' and 'Atlantis Princess', she wore crop tops that showed her stomach and people talked so much about her belly fat showing. She was right at the age where she should be growing too... and then she dropped a ton of weight for 'My Name' and came out with abs.

6. [+22, -4] I felt so bad for her ㅠㅠ but now she's so pretty and respectful ㅎㅎ fun episode today

7. [+17, -4] It's not too late to lose weight after you're done growing ㅠㅠㅠ Look at Sulli, she dropped all the weight after her height was done growing and now she's so pretty...

8. [+14, -0] SM was bad then but so were the hateful commenters who called her chubby and demanded that she lose weight. She was so young back then and wasn't even fat compared to the activities she had to complete with her promotions but people still told her to lose weight... So sad to see skinny stars being forced to diet.

9. [+12, -2] I remember reading that she only ate seaweed for her diet back then, and she was really young too

10. [+10, -0] BoA never grew in height probably because of her diets but also because she started doing hardcore dances at such a young age. She began break dancing and popping since elementary school... Isn't that why Shinhwa's Lee Minwoo never grew either.......

this person can stay, everybody else can go home. it's so disheartening to know that the weight standard for idols is so strict that even an ounce of fat is considered as "chubby," putting such a negative connotation on weight that it can make anyone who can be described as such immediately feel flawed and, frankly, not pretty.

it was like 5 years ago but I still remember the "controversy" about goo hara's "belly fat" from I wanna saaaaaay Lupin? It was so ridiculous

[sadistic-dance.livejournal.com]

Yep and when she was hunched over no less.

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

mte like obviously everything is wrong with idols' "diets", netizen comments etc. etc. but it's so frustrating that people don't even understand stomachs aren't meant to be flat. having stomach fat is indicative of being an average, healthy weight.

I'm never here for vegetable hate. People need to learn that lettuce and tomato aren't the only vegetable and seasoning is a thing. There are thousands if not millions of salads in the world, Boa's problem is that she was probably forced to eat the exact same salad forever.

amen, i love me some veggies

[pentrue.livejournal.com]

give me a bit of caprese with avocado and i'm good. seriously though, vegetables need to make a comeback (and not in smoothie/juice form ffs)

people also need to realise you don't need to chew on a lettuce leaf to lose weight.

I love vegetables.

i used to hate veggies as a kid but after i started living away from home, i dieted hard and kinda forced myself to eat them. i still cant stand tomatoes (but i drink tomato juice cause it has lycopene) but i even ate spinach. then i had issues like becoming obsessed with not losing any more weight, its a long story.
rn im back to that hate stage since im living with my parents and they are the type to have rotten fruits in fridge... and arent bothered to clean it up, it just makes me sick :/ and even if i volunteer to tidy it up, im told its not my bussiness? i need to lose weight but i cant get myself to eat veggies, seeing all that unsanitary stuff.

Maybe it would be a good idea to invest on a smaller fridge for your stuff alone, even if you have to keep it on your own room. Letting food rot in the fridge, yikes...

Even a freezer would help.

I found this while looking for stuff for my own doctor appointed diet and while I'm not sure how accurate it is, it could help you out.




Sorry for spamming your inbox with edits, lol.

She's always looked beautiful to me. Even when she had phases that did not give me the 'my boo is soooo sexy' feels (LOOKING AT YOU, GIRLS ON TOP MULLET!!!), I never thought of her as 'overweight.'

It does help explain why she didn't do a single song from Atlantis Princess at her 2013 live concerts. I just got my copy on DVD on Wednesday. Good times.

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's the reason :/ she talked about it some time ago http://omonatheydidnt.livejournal.com/14091577.html

[setsuna16.livejournal.com]

I would have loved it if she did a song from every album, but what can you do.

The older I get the more I like veggies. But I have to eat them raw, I don't like the taste of cooked veggies/fruits. I've lost the taste of meat, I really have to be in the mood for it #ShitOldPeopleSay

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

lmao Get that raw food life!
#ActuallyIt'sShitYoungHipstersSayLol

[4minutesluts.livejournal.com]

i just eat them raw so that i have something to do while im cooking everything else + because im too lazy lmao

[myiuchan.livejournal.com]

lmao are you me? sometimes i want to snack so i go to the kitchen get a green bell pepper and eat it like i'd eat an apple hahaha my friends are always like "are you crazy???" it's shitty how much pesticide they use to grow bell peppers cause they are my faves :(((

[lydiasummer.livejournal.com]

I used to hate veggie, but since I started college, I love veggie more and more. But seriously, veggies are kinda expensive..lol

[bumbummie.livejournal.com]

this is terrible. hope she's gotten better at eating healthy and has a balanced diet

[lucyownsjoaquin.livejournal.com]

i hate lettuce unless it is drenched in dressing lol but i love everything else especially tomatoes, onions, garlic, broccoli, spinach and heart of palm yessss

[timetobegin.livejournal.com]

How can you live without carbs

You can't, that's the thing. Any sort of healthy eating should contain a certain amount and type of carbs. You need that stuff to keep you going - veggie's are fiber and will fill you up for a while, but one needs protein and carbs.

[obscureauthor.livejournal.com]

They didn't care about her health they just wanted her to be thin tbh

[timetobegin.livejournal.com]

And that is what's so incredibly disturbing about our obsession with (perceived) physical beauty, that we don't give five shits about our actual health, as long as we ~look good~ who cares that you're rotting inside?

[obscureauthor.livejournal.com]

I used to hate vegetables as a kid but indian veggies are awesome btw. There are so many ways to eat em...

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

Ooooo what kinds of Indian veggies??? I'm always on the hunt for new, fresh veggies to add to my diet.

I remember once reading that it's hard for women to have completely flat stomachs since our bodies naturally retain a small pouch of fat in our lower bellies to prepare for future pregnancies. I didn't find a direct study, but I thought this (http://www.humankinetics.com/excerpts/excerpts/learn-why-women-carry-more-fat-than-men) was interesting.

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

Because having boobs isn't enough! Lol.
Ah, nature, thank you.
