Wu Qili lost 13 kg by eating only biscuits and tofu

Artists really try every possible means to lose weight! Hong Kong star Wu Qili, who gave birth to a daughter for Jackie Chan out of wedlock, was once so fat that her neck was invisible. In order to survive in the entertainment industry, she began to actively lose weight last year, eating only a small amount of biscuits and a piece of tofu every day. She is now skinny and looks haggard, and netizens described her diet as a "crazy weight loss method." Nutritionists warn that this method can lead to malnutrition and even anorexia, so people should not try it lightly.

Psychopathic diet! Wu Qili eats 1 piece of tofu every day

It is understood that Wu Qili, who is 41 years old and 173 cm tall, said in February this year that for the sake of her acting career, she started to lose weight since last year. She only ate 2 packs of soda crackers a day, and a piece of tofu and 2 dishes at night. She continued for 4 months and lost about 7.71 kg. Her weight dropped from 63.5 kg to 55.79 kg, only slightly heavier than the 54.43 kg before her daughter was born.

Due to the serious lack of food portions and nutritional intake, netizens described it as a "crazy weight loss method." Although Wu Qili has publicly reminded the public not to imitate her, believing that weight loss requires a balanced diet and exercise, she has insisted on her own way and even has a tendency to make it worse.

Wu Qili said at an event on September 10 that her current method of losing weight is to eat a pack of wafer biscuits and a piece of tofu every day, exercise regularly, and occasionally eat diet meals. Compared to my heaviest weight last year, I lost a total of about 13.6 kilograms. According to estimates, Wu Qili's current weight should be less than 50 kilograms.

Healthy weight loss should include balanced nutrition and exercise. If you rely on a single food method to lose weight, you are prone to malnutrition in the long run.

Eat cookies and tofu to lose weight! Long-term malnutrition can harm your health

Nutritionist Zhao Hanying said that wafers only contain a large amount of carbohydrates, a small amount of fat and protein. Adding a piece of tofu every day lacks fresh vegetable and fruit fiber, protein and essential fatty acids, which can easily cause malnutrition in the long run, and lead to intestinal aging, constipation, loose and sunken skin, immune disorders, endocrine abnormalities, osteoporosis, and early menopause.

This malnutrition-based weight loss method is effective in the early stages, but in the long run, due to the body's lack of nutrients to maintain normal metabolism, weight loss is prone to stagnation and weight regain. If you continue to go on a vicious diet or induce vomiting after eating, it may lead to psychogenic anorexia. Once you become skinny and bony, it will be difficult to recover to a healthy state in the future.

If we estimate based on the calories, a serving of tofu is about 50 to 70 calories, and a pack of wafers is about 500 to 800 calories, which does not seem low. However, nutritionist Zhao Hanying reminds us that this is a "calorie trap". Even if you eat enough calories, but the six major nutrients are unbalanced and insufficient, it will affect the normal functioning of the body and will not be able to effectively metabolize excess fat in the body, affecting weight loss results and physical health.

In addition, nutritionist Zhao Hanying reminded that parents are role models for their children, and teaching by example is very important. If mothers use unhealthy methods to lose weight, their children will imitate them, which will affect their growth and development in the long term and may harm their children's lives.
