Female Idol Known for Her Figure Reveals Unusual Diet Tip

ITZY’s Chaeryeong is turning heads with her surprising take on dieting and food. Known for her slim, well-maintained figure, she recently shared her unusual food beliefs that have fans buzzing.

The controversy began when Chaeryeong appeared on Hyeri’s YouTube channel, reacting to a spread of dishes including chicken gizzards, chicken feet, tripe, and fried chicken. Instead of avoiding fried foods, she claimed meat doesn’t cause weight gain.

“I think meat is food that doesn’t make you gain weight.”

She even went further:

“I even think fried chicken is diet food. Pizza makes you gain weight, but chicken doesn’t.”

Fans quickly reacted to her relaxed attitude toward eating, especially since she’s often seen as a “small eater.” Chaeryeong cleared that up:

“I’m not someone who eats small portions, but I’ve been completely labeled as a ‘small eater’ image. Among the ITZY members, I actually eat quite a lot.”

She also revealed her strict avoidance of carbs, emphasizing protein over rice.

“I can eat two servings of meat but I don’t eat rice. Protein doesn’t make you gain weight, but carbs do.”
