Comedian Kim Young-hee reveals extreme diet led to ER visit

Comedian Kim Young-hee revealed a harrowing experience where extreme dieting led her to the emergency room. She recounted how, in an effort to rapidly lose weight, she resorted to consuming only protein shakes for her two daily meals. This drastic measure, however, had severe repercussions.

“

I went to the emergency room because I didn't eat at all and didn't lose much weight.

Kim described becoming increasingly irritable and unwell after just two days of this restrictive diet, ultimately requiring an IV drip. Reflecting on the ordeal, she expressed a newfound resolve: "Let's just eat now." This sentiment marked her decision to abandon unhealthy dieting practices.

I drank shakes for two meals a day, saying I was dieting. I did it twice. Then I became irritable and ended up going to get an IV drip that day.

Model Lee Hye-jung, who appeared on the YouTube channel 'Hye-jung, What are you doing today?', visited Kim's home and offered advice on healthier approaches to weight management. Observing soy milk in Kim's refrigerator, Lee inquired about her dieting intentions. Upon hearing Kim's past struggles, Lee emphasized that such extreme methods are detrimental.

So I said, 'Let's just eat.'

Lee then demonstrated a healthy way to diet by preparing a summer health food using ingredients from Kim's refrigerator. The dish, a cold soybean noodle soup with chicken breast and abalone, was designed to be nutritious and satisfying, proving that healthy eating can be enjoyable and effective.

You shouldn't diet like that.
