Yeongho from Solo 20th class unexpectedly released a photo from before his diet.

Over the past three days, 20th class Youngho conducted a "Ask Me Anything" session on his Instagram. When a netizen asked, "I'm curious about your diet method! Duration, diet plan, exercise—how did you do it?" Youngho revealed his own diet method. He said, "I'm the type to go all out once I set my mind to something, and overall in life, dieting has been a continuous process for me," adding, "When I was a student, I did a diet with a meal plan, two hours of weight training, and one hour of cardio, but after becoming a working adult with a lot of work and not enough energy to exercise, I recently lost a lot through diet alone." He also mentioned, "In the end, I realized that 80% of my results came from eating and 20% from exercise. I ate one apple and soy milk in the morning, two packs of chicken breast sausage, cherry tomatoes, and soy milk for lunch, and either skipped dinner or drank soy milk." Along with a photo of himself looking quite plump, almost bursting out of his shirt, he added, "This was during the time of President Suryong's body," and "It took about three months to lose 30kg." We take a closer look at the effects of Youngho's revealed diet plan.

Eating an apple in the morning is good for dieting. This is because eating an apple in the morning gently stimulates bowel movements, promoting defecation. Especially, it is better to eat the apple with the skin on. The apple skin is rich in dietary fiber called pectin. Pectin produces a lot of beneficial bacteria in the intestines and then helps eliminate harmful substances from the body through stool. According to a study by Pennsylvania State University in the United States, the group that chewed and ate apples reduced their calorie intake by about 15%. Additionally, the 'quercetin' component in apples helps prevent skin aging and protects against physical decline.

Chicken breast is effective for dieting. 100g of chicken breast contains about 23g of protein. Protein has a low calorie content relative to its volume, which helps you feel full for a longer period of time. Additionally, since protein is an organic compound formed by combining numerous amino acids, it helps increase muscle mass. Chicken breast also has a low fat content. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), eating low-fat foods can help reduce body fat. In fact, a study by NIH researchers involving 19 people over two weeks showed that those who ate a low-fat diet experienced a reduction of 463 grams in body fat.

A single cherry tomato contains about 2 kcal, making it very low in calories and effective for dieting. Its high water content provides a strong sense of fullness, and it is rich in antioxidants, offering excellent health benefits. In particular, tomatoes contain a powerful antioxidant called lycopene, which removes active oxygen that causes aging, making it effective in preventing aging and cancer.

Soy milk contains a high amount of calcium and protein. The rich dietary fiber in soy milk helps eliminate cholesterol accumulated in blood vessels and also aids in blood sugar management. The main ingredient of soy milk, soybeans, acts as a substitute for female hormones and is beneficial in alleviating menopausal symptoms in women.
