Now, for those who may not know, K-pop diets are diets curated by different IDOLS in the industry and what they follow to get (or stay) slim. These are very restrictive almost all the time and can be tough to get through. So I thought why not? We love self punishment on this blog! \u2665<\/p>\n<p>There are many different types but I am going to be following one by JENNIE from BLACKPINK. *insert cheers* Picture for reference&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/57\/07\/50\/57075028c4bc5db1eaa4fb853d8d3cfc.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" data-wp-editing=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Also, I can not tell you to not try this diet because that is exactly what I did. Please keep in mind however that trying this diet for a prolonged time can really mess up your metabolism and digestive system.

Then, I started it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Well, the diet focuses on reducing general bloating and detoxing the stomach. Real good stuff ya know? The meals kind of have some wiggle room, but a main factor is to have no sodium. (So like no salt) An avocado salad has to be included and a lot of teas good for detoxing. (I used green tea) and TONS of water.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Besides food and drink, the diet also consists of needing to work out a LOT. K pop stars dance and rehearse for more than 10 hours a day most of the time. To try and measure up to that I did some of BLACKPINK&#8217;S dance practice videos and gurl&#8230;when I tell you&#8230;they are difficult. My little two step didn&#8217;t get me nearly enough body comprehension for those.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, I started to journal my emotions in real time, so I could deliver the most raw and authentic feelings. I forgot to do the first morning cause i didn&#8217;t come up with the idea to journal until later&#8230;*<em>bad blogger check<\/em>* \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n<p>So yeah. I had a lot of water for breakfast and then lunch was the avocado salad. I actually stayed feeling full and drank my green tea and water consistently. Pretty okay, and the workouts were so so so much more fun than I thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Maybe this wouldn&#8217;t be so bad.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10-27-20 Tuesday ( \ud654\uc694\uc77c )<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>9:57 I&#8217;m feeling rough. I got some chicken to eat with sticky white rice but\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 they got me gal. The chicken I got had broth and sea salt frozen with it.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u2265\u2264 I keep wanting to add extra ANYTHING to &#8220;make-up&#8221; for the chicken.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0For dinner, I&#8217;m eating finely chopped yellow onions, carrots, celery, and\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0half a bowl of rice. No seasonings, more water.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I keep getting grouchy, and I know it&#8217;s the hungry brain. This is gonna be\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0a long three days.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>10:10 I literally got up to get water because my cup was low, and my food\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0was ready, right? Then next thing I know I&#8217;m stopping my desperate\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0hand from grabbing something inside a fridge I didn&#8217;t even remember\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0opening-<\/p>\n<p>10:29 SO&#8230;I was only able to eat half of the bowl.

I\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0toats forgot what I was doing.
