Lee Hyun-yi has successfully completed her 'quick weight loss' diet.
On the 11th, Lee Hyun-yi's YouTube channel 'Working Mom Lee Hyun-yi' posted a video titled '※Must Watch for Beginner Dieters※ How Super P Working Mom Lost 4kg in 12 Days (Cardio, Diet)'.
Lee Hyun-yi embarked on a diet to prepare for an awards ceremony. With 12 days left until the event, she weighed herself. After enjoying delicious food during her vacation in Vietnam, her weight was 58.7kg. Lee Hyun-yi stated, "When I fitted the dress for the awards, I was around 55kg. I need to lose 4kg in 12 days."
After returning from soccer training, Lee Hyun-yi prepared a diet meal using a recipe shared by Son Dam-bi. It was a cabbage pancake with cabbage and eggs. She managed to lose 1.5kg in just one day, bringing her weight down to 57.2kg.
A few days later, Lee Hyun-yi was spotted drinking late at night. She explained, "I couldn't have dinner, and it's already 10 PM." Her weight was 56.5kg at the time. Lee Hyun-yi said, "Hongpapa hasn't had dinner yet either, so I ordered a simple meal to eat together because I'm on a diet." However, the late-night menu included sea squirt, oysters, fried food, and pancakes. She momentarily forgot about her diet and enjoyed the meal.
The day after the late-night meal, with a week left until the awards, Lee Hyun-yi shared, "Our stylist suggested we try the dress fitting again two days before the event, just in case it doesn't fit." Five days before the event, she focused more on soccer training than ever. Her dinner was a chicken breast and pepper salad. Lee Hyun-yi mentioned, "They say eating fiber first during meals helps prevent weight gain. It doesn't spike blood sugar."
Four days before the event, she concentrated on upper body workouts to burn body fat. Three days before, Lee Hyun-yi said, "I ate very little," and weighed herself. Her weight was 55.7kg. She expressed joy, saying, "The dress will fit. It's worth the day of fasting." However, she couldn't resist the temptation that comes every three days and decided to eat ramen, as if the awards were already over, and indulged in a feast.
On the dress fitting day, her weight was 55.6kg. Lee Hyun-yi said, "Although I haven't lost the last 600g, the dress seems to fit," feeling relieved. Arriving at the stylist's office, when asked if she had dieted well, Lee Hyun-yi admitted, "Honestly, I don't know much about dieting," and added, "Numbers don't mean much. The fit of the clothes is important. Visual assessment is crucial."
Seeing the black dress, Lee Hyun-yi worried, "Who would fit in this? A leek might fit. It's only a handspan wide. If it had tension, it would hold the body, but it's too thin. It reveals my body entirely." Fortunately, she stylishly pulled off the outfit. In the backless dress, Lee Hyun-yi commented, "The size hasn't changed much. The size is the same, but the problem is I haven't exercised, so the flesh is sagging. That's how I feel. It's like slime." However, those around her were amazed by her muscular back. Lee Hyun-yi stated, "The diet is 90% complete. I'm going to PT later to make sure not a single bit of flesh sags on my back."
On the day of the awards, Lee Hyun-yi said, "I lost the last 1kg. There's nothing protruding anymore," expressing satisfaction with her dress fit. After the ceremony, she humorously remarked, "I'm going to eat ramen."
