The otaku goddess Michelle Chen became a huge hit after filming the movie "You Are the Apple of My Eye". She is often magnified and scrutinized in front of the media cameras. Sometimes, when she encounters "venomous" media, they even make fun of her naturally round face and say that "she should lose weight." However, she doesn't care too much about it, because Michelle Chen said that she is losing weight through a proper diet and exercise, and hopes to lose weight healthily.

Chen Yujuan, attending physician of the Department of Traditional Medicine at Taipei Medical University, said that among the "weight loss secrets" that Michelle Chen revealed to the public, some of them are good practices, but there are also some methods that must be used with caution not to overdo them, to avoid losing weight but ending up with nutritional imbalance, which would be counterproductive.

Here are some tips for Michelle Chen to maintain her health and control her weight through food:

1. Eat low-fat fruits and vegetables

Insist that the food does not contain too much fat, carbohydrates and other high-energy foods, and instead replace them with some green, low-fat vegetable foods. Sometimes, I can't resist the temptation of delicious food and just eat some low-fat foods like cod.

【Nutritionist’s words】

Vegetables are great weight loss foods, high in fiber and low in calories. As for fish, most of them are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which are easier to absorb and are a source of high-quality protein. As for fruits, because of their sweetness, they often contain a lot of calories.

2. Drink slimming tea after exercise

I will use the free time in my work and life to find some simple exercises to do, such as stretching and jumping exercises during work breaks. This way I can burn the fat in my body. Then I can drink a cup of slimming tea, which can not only replenish water but also help me lose weight.

【Nutritionist’s words】

The metabolism speeds up after exercise, and taking fat-reducing tea does help lose weight. However, it depends on the gastrointestinal function. People who are prone to stomach acid may eat a lot and consume more calories after drinking fat-reducing tea.

3. Take a hot bath to lose fat

Whether it is after filming or at home, you must take a hot bath every day. In this way, the fat in the body will be burned along with the hot water.

【Nutritionist’s words】

Taking a hot bath can temporarily increase the body's metabolism and promote fat burning. In addition, taking a bath can also help the body excrete and consume fat. However, the water temperature for bathing should be moderate, not too hot so as not to damage the skin. It is best to apply some lotion after washing to replenish the loss of skin lipids.
