Kim Ji-Seok, who shares the same Jeon Hyo-Sung agency, recalled their last dinner of the company, noting, “Have you even eaten a single piece of meat? Keep drinking Aesabi (a dietary drink) from your glass. ” Jeon admits, “It was a desperate struggle to avoid gaining weight. I have to continue to manage myself. “
Explaining his motivation, he said, “I want to present the best version of myself to the fans and spectators who waited for me. When I can’t do it, I feel guilty. “ He also detailed his low carbohydrate diet, underlining the importance of monitoring net carbohydrates. “If a food contains 30 g of carbohydrates, 10 g of fiber and 5 g of sugar alcohol, net carbohydrates would be 15 g. Consumption of less than 100 g per day is considered a low carbohydrate diet. “
In December, Jeon revealed on “Bodymentary: Confessions about Fat (Tentive Title)” to have developed an obsession for weight control as an idol. “Weight gain seemed to fail my professional duties “, He admitted, describing a cycle of binge, Yo-Yo diet and hatred for themselves.
