Celebrities are no strangers to dieting, and some develop bizarre eating habits to prep for their acting roles. Davichi's Kang Minkyung has proven that she is no exception, especially when it comes to crash dieting

Kang revealed that by eating just half a sweet potato a day, she lost six kilograms (13 pounds) in just two weeks before shooting advertisements for the vitamin drink Miero Fiber.

“I love chocolates and cookies, but instead of snacking, I would have a bite of an uncooked sweet potato instead,” Kang said on SBS’ “Night of TV Entertainment” on March 21.

Her second secret to weight loss: “black food.” The singer said that she saw actress Lee Mi Sook have a concoction of black sesame, black beans and black rice blended with milk, and decided to try the concoction for herself. The two co-starred in the drama “Smile, Mum” in 2010.
