Hye-ryun revealed that she has completely cut out snacks and alcohol, a discipline she maintains even in the weight maintenance phase. "I don't eat snacks, and I've quit drinking," she stated. This strict adherence to her diet is key to her sustained results.
She also highlighted the critical role of protein intake, particularly as people age.

To ensure adequate protein, Hye-ryun makes a point of consuming foods like boiled eggs.
