Keeping a very slim figure is highly expected of idols. There is much pressure on them to uphold an image of being slim and sexy, therefore careful diet planning and fitness is a normal part of idols lives… however some idols underwent extreme diets that forced them to very minimal amounts of food per day. These 7 diets idols attempted are not likely to be recommended by dieticians, and may have left them thinner, but could have taken a toll on their health as well.

1. Sistar – Soyou
Soyou has followed a “one-meal-a-day” diet. Brown Eyed Girl’s Ga In aand Secret’s Hyosung have also follow the same diet.

4. After School – UEE
UEE keeps a very lean and toned figure and many people always show curiosity to the way she diets. She calls it the “1000kcal diet”. You are allowed to eat anything you want throughout the day, so long as the 1000kcal limit is not surpassed by the end of the day. (That is half the recommended amount of daily calorie intake)

5. 2AM – Changmin
Most people are oblivious to the fact that Changmin used to weigh over 100 kg (220.462 pounds). He is now known for rocking a sexy, ripped figure. The way he did it was by eating only two blocks of tofu a day, and running 6 hours a day.

7. Sistar – Dasom
Dasom revealed that she went on a ‘one food diet’ to lose 10kg in 3 weeks and the super-food responsible for this weight loss was cucumbers. While going on a raw fruit/vegetable fast is good for your health, it’s only recommended for a short period of time. 3 weeks of only cucumbers could be dangerous for your health.
