After giving birth in 2025, Son Dam Bi revealed her weight had climbed to 67kg — but through steady diet management and consistent exercise, she shed 21 kilograms and has been turning heads ever since. Now, she’s sharing exactly how she keeps it off without resorting to extreme or unsustainable methods.
Three Habits That Actually Work
The first habit she highlighted was simple: “moving consistently, even if just for a short time.” She explained that on days she exercises, she focuses fully on her workout — but on days she can’t make it to the gym, she still moves her body at home, even just a little. Rather than taking a complete break because she lacks time for a long session, she makes frequent small movements part of her day.
The second habit was observing a 16-hour fasting window between meals. Son Dam Bi clarified that she doesn’t force herself to skip necessary food — she makes sure to eat two proper meals a day, simply adjusting the spacing between them in a way that suits her routine.
The third point was refreshingly human: enjoy what you want to eat in moderation and don’t force your diet. “I don’t completely deny myself the foods I like,” she said. Instead of wrecking an entire diet over one indulgent meal, she enjoys her favorite foods in moderation and simply returns to her usual meals the next time she eats.
Sustainability Over Speed
The throughline of Son Dam Bi’s approach is sustainability. She stressed the importance of creating habits that can be maintained long-term without overexertion — arguing that a management method suited to your lifestyle beats rapid, short-lived transformations every time.
Son Dam Bi married former national speed skater Lee Kyu Hyuk in 2022, and the couple welcomed their daughter, Hae Yi. Her honest, no-crash-diet philosophy has resonated with fans who are tired of extreme postpartum weight-loss stories, offering instead a realistic blueprint: move a little every day, eat mindfully, and never punish yourself for enjoying food.
