Bergüzar Korel, who has recently drawn attention with her physical transformation, has broken her silence regarding the rumors about her. In a program she attended, Korel explained the changes in her health and lifestyle habits, and firmly denied the rumors circulating on social media that she had "used weight-loss injections" or "had gastric surgery."
Bergüzar Korel made statements about this new chapter in her life during a talk show hosted by her friend from the Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University State Conservatory, Esra Ruşan. Stating that she now pays more attention to her health, the famous actress said, "I am in a period where I am taking care of myself; I don't have a problem with my physical appearance, but as I get older, I take care to stay healthy. I am approaching 44 and I am a mother of three. I didn't have this awareness before, but now I am putting in the effort, and it makes me feel good."
Giving a witty response to a question during the program asking, "Did you lose weight with injections?", Korel said, "No, I had my stomach removed. I could have lost weight with injections, it wouldn't concern anyone. I even considered losing weight with injections, but I had a serious eating disorder. I was really eating too much. I later realized it was an emotional eating disorder. I gained 25-30 kilos when I had my two children; then I lost it, and gained it back again."
Korel shared her experiences during the weight loss process, saying, "I think the main reason the weight I lost attracted so much attention is that I exercise a lot. The body is a very good mechanism. I stayed hungry a lot, there were times I cried from hunger. I would finish eating at 3:00 PM. I had no social life at all."
Following her words "I had my stomach removed," which caused a great stir on social media, Korel completely rejected the claims with the statement, "I didn't have my stomach removed, heaven forbid. I was being ironic." Stating that she realized too late that she was joking, the actress responded to her followers humorously, saying, "I wish I hadn't done it."
Stating that she lost approximately 20 kilos in a short period of four months, Korel reiterated that intense exercise and a balanced diet were behind the weight loss. The famous actress, who stated that she has made healthy living and regular exercise a part of her life, added that her weight change had nothing to do with any medical intervention.
