f(x)’s Luna Reveals Her Key to Losing Weight and Staying Healthy

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

f(x)‘s Luna revealed the key to her diet on the recent broadcast of SBS PowerFM‘s “2 O’clock Escape Cultwo Show.”

On February 9, Luna answered a question regarding her diet, saying, “I did lose a lot of fat. But my weight didn’t change much. I completely changed my diet. I don’t eat midnight snacks and I can’t drink alcohol well, so I rarely eat at night.”

She continued, “My key is not eating anything too salty, sweet, or spicy. I usually eat healthy stuff. I stick to a low-salt diet.”

Meanwhile, Luna is currently promoting her upcoming film “Lightning Man’s Secret,” which was originally a children’s TV show in 1999. It will air in November.



Article: Luna's secret to her drastic weight loss, "I switched to a low salt diet, lost a lot of weight"



Newsen:
1. [+1,041, -45] Ehh... your legs did not look like they were simply the help of a low salt diet

2. [+947, -20] Eating a low salt diet does help you lose weight... but it does take away your will to live too. And you never really feel satisfied with anything you eat either.;

3. [+775, -29] Don't forget you got surgery on your legs to remove the muscle

4. [+41, -2] What she and another actress got is an extremely dangerous surgery that removes muscle from your legs. I understand that their jobs require them to look beautiful in front of the public but the operation itself is intensely dangerous. I feel so bad for celebrities who get judged on their looks instead of their skills... All of the comments on Luna's articles only ever talked about her muscley legs instead of her skills.

5. [+33, -3] Just be honest, say you got shots!!!!!

6. [+33, -6] She lost so much.. even if she got shots and surgery, it all still requires a ton of effort on her behalf.

7. [+26, -1] I'm not trying to be hateful but she did not achieve this body by just changing what she eat. She has slimmed down to the point where she looks like she doesn't have any muscle but the muscle she had before was the type you just couldn't lose like that. I do tons of leg work outs like squats so I have a lot of muscle that I just can't seem to lose through dieting and cardio. It's just a part of who I am.

8. [+24, -0] She does look prettier now but the impression she gives off has gone down... she looked so bright and happy before but now she looks like she's about to cry all the time

-

Naver:
1. [+2,673, -69] Sometimes the easiest thing is the hardest thing to do

2. [+1,482, -136] It's really apparent how much effort she put in. Do well, Luna.

3. [+1,098, -44] Luna was never fat, she just had a lot of muscle

4. [+854, -130] Pretty Luna...

5. [+765, -176] Her body looks so pretty now

6. [+294, -29] Anyone can tell that she got plastic surgery, why is she denying it...? What is there to be ashamed of? What idol hasn't gotten work done lately? Why can't Krystal just admit that she got double eyelid surgery, why blame it on weight loss? And everyone knows that Luna was never fat, she just had a lot of muscle, and she got a shot to reduce her muscle... you don't lose muscle by just dieting like that.

7. [+191, -14] I wish celebrities would just be honest. Yeah, I got shots. Yeah, I went under the knife. People, please realize that simple dieting does not achieve these results...

8. [+186, -19] It's not just weight loss. Luna used to be famous in the past for how muscley her legs were.

9. [+144, -7] I can't imagine that her diet was high salt to even begin with... I bet she just calorie restricted..

10. [+154, -21] In her older pictures, there were very consistent bruises that I think were from carboxy shots

luna sis...

i mean it's not like she owes us an explanation but she definitely got those shots

[chastainy.livejournal.com]

"[+775, -29] Don't forget you got surgery on your legs to remove the muscle"
lmao is that even possible???

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

yes google her, she had legs like champion soccer player now Betty spaghetti.

[chastainy.livejournal.com]

yeah i just googled calf muscle reduction... honestly it sounds so scary

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

lmao what

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

yes (http://kpsurgery.tumblr.com/post/35604978828/what-do-you-think-about-lunas-legs-i-think-now)

[chastainy.livejournal.com]

crazy! i didn't know you could remove muscle safely

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

when celebs get bruises all over their legs its probs from botox injections

[carra-mia.livejournal.com]

After such a visiable change she won't run away from questions about her weight, but it's also not like SM will let her announce left and right "Yeah, I've got them shots", like is there any SM idol who's straight up admitting to getting things done, aren't they all super savy about it?
Yet the girl still has to answer somehow so we got statement like that etc.

[dbsk-2pm.livejournal.com]

Well, if it matters, some guys from SJ admitted to getting things done (Kyuhyun, Shindong, can't remember others). I don't know about the rest of the groups, but SJ were pretty honest when it came to this.

[carra-mia.livejournal.com]

SJ always seems like some weired exception when it's come to SM, I feel like they generally let them fly quite freely with Heechul and all lol (decade of being there aka "Idgaf anymore" + being men probably also contribute)

[dbsk-2pm.livejournal.com]

Well, DBSK could be on the same level of freedom with them, but SJ were quite frank from the start and it didn't seem like SM cared or had too much control over them (with all the project thingy and them being a failed experiment or smth).

[iskerplunk.livejournal.com]

hyoyeon talked about getting surgery once i think, she vaguely(?) addressed it on some tv show

also she talked about getting her eyebrows fixed on beatles code. ofc she did get her eyebrows done but she also had some surgeries too; the eyebrow thing seemed to be a catch-all explanation for her appearance from 2011 onwards

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

she's beautiful no matter what, but her legs were so gorgeous. i wish there was more appreciation for different body types

[sethelaezekiel.livejournal.com]

can't believe she was ever considered the ugly member she has always been beautiful and her body was amazing shes so thin now:(

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

mte

[angela-derp-otp.livejournal.com]

She was cute and so fit before, now her face looks all wonky :(

5. [+765, -176] Her body looks so pretty now


She just has has thin arms, thin legs, thin hair, thin everything lol...

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

I don’t eat midnight snacks
lol I used to do that a lot before but I cut it out and I lost a bit of weight indeed. Healthy diet + exercising is basically the only key to lose weight and sometimes you don't even lose that much. I've had times of losing only 500 g per week or so despite the diet and the exercise.

[cindersam.livejournal.com]

I agree. I tried the Goop Way (lol, yes I know) of cutting sugar and mostly doing alternatives to make food tastier and it was a real torture not that I even consume a lot of really sweet stuff but it was part of my detox plan... anyway, it was useless if anything it made me crave junk food

[tungatunga.livejournal.com]

This chopstick legs ideal freaks me out a bit matched with so called baby face, when they try to erase cheekbones with fillers.
But it's hard not fall down this rabbit hole if you are surrounded by people pointing constantly at you "flaws" and pushing toward easy "solution" like cosmetic procedures.

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

More like shave cheekbones off... Fillers sometimes are injected below actual cheekbones to make cheeks look more balanced or people get fat graft. Usually when people get their jaw muscles "softened" with botox or mess with bones, their cheeks "puff up" and they get a bit of babyface going on. Paried with forehead implant (them squares are so easy to spot :/) it kinda changes one's face drastically...
People think that ps is a easy solution but honestly it's more of a lifetime commitment, you need to keep your implants in good shape etc.

[tungatunga.livejournal.com]

I'm in that maybe slightly delusional camp, that believe that permanent surgery especially involving messing with bones and nerves is last resort, most idols opts for quick fix that doesn't require so much healing time ;)

With the cheekbone thingy I thought about ones like Woohyun, VIXX's Leo, Solji or recently Hyuna, they have visibly something under that cheekbones and they have quite prominent cheekbones and their faces didn't change that much compared to old photos.

[labellavitaaa.livejournal.com]

Forehead implants when obvious are so terrifying jfc

[ocean-pig.livejournal.com]

What's done is done and I hope she's happy with the results. I just wish she'd stop playing it off as some healthy exercise and diet regime. It's unhealthy for impressionable people to think they will get her results by avoiding salt, alcohol and snacks. You can't get those results doing what she said she did.

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

all of this. 100% this.

[velvetpocket.livejournal.com]

smh at so many netizens going 'oh she was never fat, just muscly' and 'she used to look so bright and happy' yeah well half of you were part of the people yelling at her for 'being fat', lbr, I too indeed sometimes miss the brightness she had, it's still there but less frequent I feel, and it's really saddening. She was always my fave and I was always bitter at others for shitting all over her and it's even more bittersweet now that everyone's acting like this

yeah yeah I know not everyone is guilty but i'm just bitter poor girl felt like she had to do leg surgery to please those fuckers

[impatiences.livejournal.com]

i agree with your entire comment tbh.

[iskerplunk.livejournal.com]

this, all of this. i'm glad she's getting a lot of opportunities to showcase her talent now, but it still seems like she's not being pushed hard enough

[slowitdownbaby.livejournal.com]

+100000
K-Netz always labelled her as the "ugly one" and now they're suddenly concerned? FOH.

[921227.livejournal.com]

I'm just glad that she seems happier with her body and looks now, no matter what she did to achieve it

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

ok @ her key to losing weight but no @ "and staying healthy" bc....

[cindersam.livejournal.com]

The immense pressure really got to her though and having to admit that she got something done might just amplify the scrutiny.

As long as she's on a healthy regime and feels confident

[fallendaydreams.livejournal.com]

I wish people would stop talking about her looks. After years of being consistently talented and genuinely kind-hearted, appearance is still the only thing they focus on when it comes to her.

[senshicalico.livejournal.com]

lol netizen 2 is full of crap tbh. I've never felt better since going low sodium since it's apparently my mortal enemy. I want to cut back on sugar eventually but one thing at a time tbh. Sodium is in EVERYTHING ugh.

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

but I wish you well in all your future endeavors!

[lycorisc.livejournal.com]

it's really a lose-lose situation for her to admit it. she denies it and people rag on her for lying, but if she admits it they'll say she's a plastic surgery monster. ugh. SK's standard of beauty is so upsetting i'd probably end up being depressed if my worth is measured merely by how pretty i look.

still permanently rooting for luna

*edit - my legs look like hers pre-procedure so this is affecting me a bit

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

my legs look like that as well... hard to find pants, hard to look at yourself in the mirror... and i dont seem to be able to get rid of this muscles, like the form by just breathing, fuck

[lycorisc.livejournal.com]

same. i really want to wear skirts/dresses often too but when i hear ppl say how masculine/muscular my legs are i'm put off from wearing them again

[kitty9163.livejournal.com]

She was never fat to begin with, i think she looked the best during RPPP + Red Light era, she's too thin now :(

[labellavitaaa.livejournal.com]

I can't believe this is the same girl on that episode of Happy Together I watched with TVXQ & Onew like wtf

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

Welp, we* dun did it. We done crushed a young girl's spirit and self esteem.

[sayuri-rose-k.livejournal.com]

Looking at what the netz said about Luna makes me think of what they would say about me. They'd probably say I'm a whale and should be hunted.
