EXCLUSIVE: Jeric Gonzales admits losing weight and joining the K-drama craze amid quarantine

By Cara Emmeline Garcia

A leaner Jeric Gonzales is seen in GMANetwork's Give Me 5 video as he lists down the five things he's grateful for amid the enhanced community quarantine.

According to the Magkaagaw actor, his slender physique is all thanks to his more balanced diet and the exercise regimen he regularly follows while in lockdown.

He mentions to the camera, “Mas balanced 'yung diet ko ngayon unlike sa taping na lagi kaming puyat at pagod. And then, kailangan mo ng energy kaya kumakain kami ng junk food at ng sweets.

“Ngayon, well-balanced na ang diet ko dahil lutong bahay at luto ng nanay ko. Puro gulay! So, mas okay siya.

“Puwede rin akong mag-cheat day. Minsan kumakain kami ng mga nake-crave naming food tulad ng banana cue. But we're leaning more on eating fruits.

“Nakakapag-exercise din ako ngayon araw-araw na hindi ko nagagawa dati. Gustuhin ko man mag-workout pero 'di ko nagagawa.

“Ngayon ang dami kong time para mag-workout and mag-exercise.

“I feel good because I lost weight.”

Aside from eating a well-balanced meal and exercising regularly, he also keeps up with the latest in entertainment by binge-watching Korean dramas on Netflix.

He confesses that he'd become a fan of the genre after watching a few shows on the streaming site.

“Nagkaroon ako ng time manood ng maraming movies, series, but more specifically Korean dramas.

“Mas marami akong napanood na K-dramas na nakakarelaks, nakakakilig, at maganda rin siyang stress reliever sa pagka-bored natin.”

Catch Jeric's return on Magkaagaw soon on GMA.
