All About Park Bom

Park Bom's Diet

Recently, YG Entertainment's exclusive trainer, Hwang Sung Chan, revealed the truth about Park Bom's current diet. 2NE1's main vocalist has always been one of the most talked-about celebrities when it comes to diet plans, thanks to the media hype surround her past "Corn Diet", "Lettuce Diet", and more recently, the "Watermelon Diet".

The "Watermelon Diet" first came about during last month's broadcast of SBS's "Inkigayo", where Park Bom said in an interview, "I've been eating a lot of watermelon as a substitute for rice." The media instead relayed this as, "I only ate watermelon", and thus created this mythical "Watermelon Diet". Responding to the intense interest surrounding this so-called 'Watermelon Diet', trainer Hwang stated, "To be honest, watermelon is a great fruit that satiates, and we only chose it to help block out her snacking; it wasn't eaten as a substitute. Park Bom never underwent a one-food diet. I'm worried that the public will read the wrong information and start following it."  

Trainer Hwang then explained that he created a diet plan that would steer Bom away from her past western food diet to a more healthy alternative. Park Bom eats a total of five meals a day - three main meals and two snacking meals. Trainer Hwang created the two snacking meals to allow Bom to enjoy her two favorite foods - corn and nuts. Additionally, Hwang got rid of a strict menu selection in Bom's three main meals in order to alleviate the stress attached to dieting.

Hwang also created a diet planner which includes her daily eating records; he positively reinforces her new pattern of eating by paying her compliments on completed areas of her planner, before ticking it off with his special red marker.

Trainer Hwang also regularly checks up on and approves 2NE1's daily menus via calls and texts. He revealed that because Park Bom avoids his calls so often, he saved her contact number under the name, "Park Bbong"(Bbong = lie) on his cellphone. 

What to eat?

Add lettuce as your side dish or snack and drink 2 liters of water associated with proper exercise.

What's good in this diet?

Lettuce contains a large amount of lactucarium and can help improve those who have symptoms of depression, headache and insomnia. It is very suitable for those who are struggling to keep to their dieting plans. Lettuce also has a large amount of fibre which helps in bowel movement, although it wouldn’t be of much help if one doesn’t take in sufficient water or exercise.

She is one of these female idols that becomes a hot topic every appearance she makes. Bom is known for her love for corn, but also for her diets including lettuce diet and watermelon diet she revealed a couple of times during interviews. Park Bom had a cute moment during debut where she was caught eating corn secretly, and was punished afterwards by her trainer shouting ‘’I do not like corn!’’ as a penalty.

Park Bom’s diets are always the talk of town since her legs are dubbed as the famous ‘’doll-like’’ legs and her ‘’doll-like’’ figure many are envious of. Park Bom showed off her leg stretching exercise during an episode of 2NE1tv on MNET, where she layed down and stretched one of her legs up and down.

The leg stretching exercise works well for some, stretch each leg for about 30-40 times in a set of three or more and repeat every day.  Losing weight doesn’t always effect the inner thigh, so stretching is a good exercise for the inner thigh. You’ll also strengthen the calf muscles resulting in to a beautiful leg line. After you complete stretching remember to lightly stretch afterwards and massage the legs to ease the muscles after the exercise.
