On the March 23rd episode of KBS‘s ‘Star Life Theater‘, 2AM‘s Changmin sat down for an interview and honestly discussed his experience with weight loss.
After spending the day with 2AM, reporters noticed that while the other members freely ate ramen as snacks between meals, Changmin would insist on snacking on chicken breasts or sausages.
Changmin explained, “I used to weigh over 100 kg. I lost 18 kg in three weeks and about 30 kg in six weeks. I only ate two blocks of tofu and ran six hours a day. After that, I ate healthily and exercised often to keep the weight down.”
He continued, “As a singer, showing myself to the public is a part of the job. The stage is not just about your song, as it’s actually a combination of visuals and sounds.”
For the past four years, Changmin wakes up at 6:30 a.m. on his own and makes sure to get daily exercise into his busy schedule.
Netizens commented, “30 kg in six weeks? He must’ve worked really hard,” “He could accomplish anything with that determination, makes me reflect on myself.”

But of course, people are going to think these results are something to reach for.
I've lost 12lbs in the past 10 weeks. Still coming off, I'm no rush, but it's better just to go slow or else you will crash and then go back up again.
1-2 lbs a week is the best way to go!!

Date: 2012-03-25 09:23 am (UTC)I take these claims with a grain of salt, same as with Kangin and TOP. Yes they lost large amounts of weight, but did they really do it in the time frame the media claims?

Date: 2012-03-25 05:57 pm (UTC)The best thing is to go to a profesional, and even in those cases you might experience problems with a big weight loss in a short ammount of time, like happened to me for being too strict with myself.

Everyone needs a copy of Medical Nutrition (http://www.amazon.com/Medical-Nutrition-Disease-Case-Based-Approach/dp/1405186151/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332655997&sr=8-1) ffs. Especially the Korean media.

Date: 2012-03-25 06:28 am (UTC)I feel like korean stars get a lot of shit from koreans when they're "overweight" and they get shit from other people for being crazy about their diet plans. Its so hard for them to please viewers.
I can understand why so many stars try to lose weight because as humans, looks are the first things we notice :(
