The contestant, in their 60s, has tried various methods to shed pounds, capturing the audience's attention. From fasting retreats to liposuction, saltwater diets, and even consuming a spoonful of butter with lemon vinegar every morning, they've tried it all. However, each weight loss success was followed by the inevitable return of the pounds, adding a twist to their story. The repeated failures due to yo-yo dieting have intensified their cravings, prolonging their battle with weight. Will this contestant finally break free from the cycle of yo-yo dieting and regain a healthy body?
Dr. Kwon Yong-hwan, an internal medicine specialist, identifies 'diseased fat cells' as the root cause of recurring weight gain. Frequent weight fluctuations, like those experienced by the contestant, can stress fat cells, impairing their function and making weight gain more likely while complicating appetite control. Dr. Kwon emphasizes that restoring the function of fat cells damaged by yo-yo dieting is crucial, not just losing weight.
The show introduces a '3-Week Fat Cell Recovery Project' for the contestant, with eggplant as a key ingredient in the special solution. Viewers will see how this unique solution impacts the contestant's long-standing battle with yo-yo dieting during the broadcast.
As anticipation builds for the results of the oldest contestant's solution on 'The Birth of a Body God,' the show airs every Tuesday at 8 PM on Channel A.
