IU, practicing the 'natural weight loss' diet with boiled eggs and olive oil

IU recently introduced their diet and health management methods directly during a meeting with fans. On September 20th, IU attended the stage greetings for the films ’IU Concert: The Golden Hour’ and ’IU Concert: The Winning’ held at CGV Yongsan I’Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, where they communicated with fans. When asked by fans about their dinner menu that day, IU mentioned their diet, saying, ″Well, I think I would probably just eat boiled eggs.″ They continued, ″It’s filling. If you eat two boiled eggs with a drizzle of olive oil, you won’t feel hungry all day.″ They also advised, ″Try it once. Olive oil is important. I think having some fat is essential. If you eat like that in the morning, you won’t feel hungry all day.″ IU’s diet has recently become known as the ’natural Wegovy’ recipe. This diet involves eating 2 to 3 boiled eggs with a tablespoon of olive oil or perilla oil and pepper, sometimes adding fiber-rich foods such as avocado, nuts, and blueberries. During the stage greeting, when asked by fans for menu recommendations, IU said, ″Earlier, I recommended tteokbokki to the front audience, but here I want to suggest something else. What would be good? How about something like this? Boiled eggs with sliced cucumber and bibim noodles.″ They also said, ″After watching the movie, when you start to feel a bit hungry, it would be nice to enjoy some delicious food while chatting about the film.″ IU is well known in the entertainment industry for being a slow eater. Actor Son Junho shared on SBS LoveFM’s ’Yoo Min Sang’s Hungry Radio’ last May, ″IU was chewing on kimbap for over 30 minutes,″ and added, ″They are very slim and small-framed, so I thought, ’They eat more than I expected.’ When they got up to leave, they said ’Take care’ and left, but the kimbap was still there. They had been chewing on one piece of kimbap for 30 minutes.″ IU revealed on a channel in 2024 that they chew about 150 times per bite. Also, on the YouTube channel ’Yoo In Radio’ hosted by actress Yoo In Na, IU said, ″Today, I ate apples and blueberries,″ and when Yoo In Na asked, ″What kind of bird feed did you eat? Did you peck at it? Are you okay after pecking like that?″ IU replied, ″That’s why my stomach might make some noises.″ IU has revealed that their weight is 44 kg and is known to maintain approximately 44 kg regularly.
