Korean Actors Who Gave Up Carbs To Lose Weight: Lee Joon Gi, Kim Sejeong, More
One of the best and safest ways to shed weight is the popular Ketogenic Diet. Not only is it proven but it is also recommended by many popular actors who have tried it.
The diet limits one's carbohydrate intake and allows the body to receive nutrition from protein, greens and natural minerals. Here are four popular actors who gave up carbs to lose weight!
Kim Sejeong
Although singer-turned-actress Kim Sejeong is naturally skinny, she still limited her carbohydrate intake to prepare for her new role in the drama "A Business Proposal."
She would only eat salads, mostly water spinach and lettuce with tomatoes. Kim Sejeong would also munch on baked salmon or any fish available.
Kim Sejeong shied away from carbs to shed a bit of her weight, deeming that her character-which was based on a webtoon-needed to look prettier.
Lee Joon Gi
At the age of 40, Lee Joon Gi still looks as young as ever. But did you know that the "Again My Life" actor hasn't eaten any carbohydrates for six years?
He revealed that although he is South Korean, he maintains his toned body by exercising and sticking to his "no carb diet" which means he doesn't eat rice, pasta or any food with starch.

His small sacrifice shows great results as he's still one of the most sought after actors in the industry today.
Uhm Jung Hwa
Singer and actress Uhm Jung Hwa, nicknamed as "God of Management," has shown immense discipline through the years after avoiding carbohydrates for as long as she can remember.
The 53-year-old star maintains her lean physique and hourglass figure by only eating meat, greens and fruits.
Even in her recent appearance in "Our Blues," the actress looks glowingly gorgeous that anyone can mistake her as a 30-year-old.
Choi Jin Hyuk
Ironically, "Pasta" actor Choi Jin Hyuk hasn't been eating pasta-or any cuisine with starch-since the year 2021.
The actor stated that he is on a Keto diet because he was ashamed of how his body looks, as it was very different when he starred in the said drama.
