Jungkook’s Diet

Diet Summary

Jungkook’s ripped abs belie his ability to gain weight. This is not helped by the fact that he loves carbs. To counter this issue, he does intermittent fasting, sometimes fasting for 20 hours a day. He admits that he does this because he feels self-conscious about appearing in shirtless photos. What he eats during his 4-hour window are Korean classics like kimchi, bulgogi, and spring rolls. His idea of a snack is vegetable soup. He supplements with kombucha powder for its health benefits.
