Songwriter Yoo Jae Hwan revealed the unsustainable diet that had him regain his lost weight.
Previously in 2019, Yoo Jae Hwan showed off his glow-up after losing 34kg (about 74 lbs) from 104kg in just 4 months.
On the March 18th episode of MBN's variety program 'Transplanting Club', however, Yoo Jae Hwan shared that he could not sustain his diet so he gained all his lost weight back. He said his diet restricted carbs to a minimum, saying he ate only 6 small rice balls per day. He also added that he was practically starving himself because he also didn't eat much protein.

Since he didn't eat much carbs or protein he probably also lost a bunch of muscle mass. His metabolism likely suffered too. Sustainability is everything. If one wants to lose fat and keep it off, it has to come from a lifestyle change, not a quick diet fix. A bunch of idols do this too. They barely eat anything and do a ton of cardio. Good luck trying to sustain that because you'll need to eat less and less and do more and more cardio to keep losing weight, and a lot of it will be muscle mass, not fat. In the end, your body composition will be the same, if not worse. Having balanced meals (ratio should be about 1/2 vegetables/fruit, 1/4 protein and 1/4 carbs for the majority of meals) and mainly doing resistance training with some cardio mixed in is a much better solution.
