Mimi, a member of girl group Oh My Girl, has revealed how she maintains her 47-kilogram figure.

A video titled "How to eat bread like crazy and still not gain weight" was recently uploaded to the YouTube channel Bibo TV.

During the segment, hosts Song Eun-i and Kim Sook were sharing a viewer's message about struggling with bread cravings when they called Mimi, widely known in the entertainment industry as an avid bread lover.

When Kim Sook asked, "I heard you really love bread that much?" Mimi replied, "I eat it like crazy. Bread is basically all I eat."

Kim Sook expressed envy, saying, "How are you so slim?" Mimi said she works out just as hard, avoids late-night snacks and has cut out rice entirely. "I can't quite remember when I stopped eating rice, but I eat bread instead," she said. "When I eat rice, I gain weight really fast."

When Kim Sook wondered whether eating bread still leads to weight gain, Mimi said, "Rice makes me gain a lot of weight. These days I have so many favorite breads — it's hard to choose."

Song Eun-i then said the key question on Friday was how to keep the weight off without giving up bread, to which Mimi replied, "The answer to staying in shape is moving. Both exercise and everyday movement."

She added that fasting from 6 p.m. is essential. "You can really eat as much as you want until around 3 p.m. After 3, start cutting back a little, and from 6 p.m. stop eating altogether," she said. Mimi also said she does a wide range of workouts — boxing, yoga, swimming, weight training and running — all to keep enjoying her beloved bread.
