South Korean singer and actress NS Yoon-G has publicly shared her recent weight loss journey, aiming to shed 4 kilograms in just one week. In a YouTube video titled 'Lost -4kg in a week, I can't believe I'm doing this again,' NS Yoon-G revealed her current weight of 51.65 kg on the scale.
"Okay, let's try to lose it," she declared, expressing her determination. Pointing to a slightly protruding stomach, she admitted, "I'm embarrassed." NS Yoon-G explained that her weight gain was a result of consuming many unhealthy foods while in the United States. Following her return home, she managed to reduce her weight to 47.60 kg through consistent exercise and dietary management.

However, the article stresses that rapid weight loss over a short period is less important than establishing sustainable lifestyle habits. The U.S. National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) identifies healthy eating, physical activity, continuous management, and post-weight-loss maintenance plans as key components of successful weight reduction programs.
I'm embarrassed.
Experts advise setting realistic goals rather than overly ambitious ones from the outset. The NIDDK typically recommends a weight loss of 5% to 10% of starting body weight over approximately six months. Harvard Medical School, in its 2022 health information on diet and weight loss, also emphasized the significance of healthy eating habits that can be maintained long-term over extreme short-term dieting methods.
"The best diet is not a trendy, extreme weight loss method, but rather creating habits that you can sustain for a long time," Harvard Medical School stated.
