Lim Ji-yeon's keto diet experience gets renewed attention

Artist Company posted a video of Lim Ji-yeon on its official social media on the 9th with the caption, 'What scent is actor Ji-yeon? Her beauty is Artist Company's type.' In the video, Lim appeared with long straight hair and natural makeup, wearing a floral-pattern crop top and skirt.

Lim's slimmer appearance in the video drew attention to the keto diet she had previously discussed. She had spoken about trying the diet during an appearance on an SBS variety program.

Lim said she stopped the diet about ten days after starting because her weight dropped faster than she had expected. The remarks have been mentioned again alongside attention to her recent appearance.

The keto diet sharply reduces carbohydrate intake and increases fat intake so the body uses fat instead of glucose as an energy source. It generally minimizes carbohydrates such as rice, bread and noodles, while centering meals on foods rich in fat and protein, including meat, fish, eggs, cheese, nuts, avocado and olive oil.

Although Lim previously said she had stopped the keto diet, her recently shared slimmer look has also drawn attention to her self-management methods, including regular exercise and diet management.
