However, another thing that earned her fame is her visuals. On top of her girl-next-door visuals, the idol has always boasted a slim physique that women are jealous of. While it may seem impossible to attain such a figure, it's actually quite simple!

IU's diet secrets for maintaining her slim figure and flawless skin include a regimen centered around three types of food:

1. Apples

IU starts her day with 1-2 apples. Apples are known for their antioxidant properties like quercetin and catechin, which protect against cell damage and lower the risk of chronic diseases. Their high fiber content promotes satiety and aids weight management while enhancing skin hydration and detoxification.

2. Grapes

Often enjoyed as a post-lunch snack, grapes are rich in resveratrol and quercetin, antioxidants that combat aging and protect the cardiovascular system. Their low glycemic index helps stabilize blood sugar levels and the presence of vitamin E supports skin health, shielding against UV damage and reducing wrinkles.

3. Almonds

IU opts for almond milk in the evening, which are rich in vitamins A, D, E, calcium, and magnesium. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant, which is crucial for cell protection and overall skin, eye, and immune health.

Almond milk's low-calorie profile aids weight management by curbing cravings and promoting a sense of fullness, while its unsaturated fats benefit cardiovascular health by improving cholesterol levels.
