The physical appearance of actress and former member of the idol group I.O.I, Kang Mina, has recently caught the public's attention. In a conversation on the Kian84 YouTube channel, the star of the drama If Wishes Could Kill finally shared the secret behind her weight loss of 10 kilograms.
Contrary to the common belief that drastic weight loss always requires intense physical training, Kang Mina emphasized that she did not undergo any special exercise routine. Her main focus lay in regulating calorie intake through disciplined portion control.
"I don't exercise. My strategy was to divide a single portion of a sandwich into two parts to be consumed in the afternoon and at night," explained the 26-year-old actress. However, she admitted to remaining flexible with her menu choices, occasionally enjoying typical Korean dishes like Kimchi Jjim or tteokbokki if she felt she needed them.
Preparation for her latest acting project, Back to Work!, required her to lose 13 kilograms. Mina firmly dismissed all speculation regarding the use of medical procedures or slimming injections, emphasizing that the entire weight loss process was carried out purely through a consistent diet over two to three months.
Although Kang Mina's diet method seems promising, health experts still emphasize the importance of balance between diet and physical activity. Consuming nutritious food such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and low-fat protein remains the primary foundation of health. Nutritionists remind us that exercise is not only for weight management but is also crucial for maintaining muscle function, mental health, and reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome.
