The Shantokki Diet Makes You Lose 3 KGs In Three Days, But There‘s A Problem.

TW: Eating disorders


We‘ve all fallen victim to false advertisements at some point in our lives but what happens when an absurd claim proves to be true?



Shantokki Diet is a meal plan created by a Korean YouTuber of the same name. Almost three years later, and the infamous diet still takes the chart as one of the most preferred diet plans because of its incredibly fast result. However, this begs the question: is crash diet actually sustainable in the long run? 



Albeit being the creator of the diet herself, Shantokki warns her audience that it is only intended for a short-term weight loss solution. This is an indirect indication that while one can indeed achieve their targeted weight at the end of a crash diet, it could in all likelihood, impose some serious health issues if prolonged.

This leads to a bigger question: would this contribute further to possible triggers to eating disorders? This type of content, which could appear helpful to an extent, is also at risk of feeding into fragile minds the notion that a starvation diet is acceptable as a practice.

In essence, the topic around weight loss is always a tricky one to maneuver. However, it should be a common rule to practice caution when it comes to promoting any "unconventional" weight loss regime especially when it's hiding behind a pretense of harmless method.
