Artists fast and induce vomiting to lose weight drastically, but at the cost of their health

For the sake of their acting careers, it seems to be common for Hollywood stars to gain and lose weight. In Taiwan, many artists also discuss weight loss tips on TV shows and generously share their own successful weight loss experiences. Among them, there are some overly drastic or inappropriate methods, such as vomiting and fasting, which often make them lose weight at the expense of their health.

It is not worth sacrificing your health to gain or lose weight for an acting career.

Xiong Tianping, who became popular in the streets and alleys with "Love Danube" in the mid-1990s, was once given the title of "Prince of Love Songs". However, after encountering a bottleneck in his singing career, he gradually faded out of the Taiwanese music scene. He had a physique that was prone to obesity and because he had no restrictions on his diet, his weight once exceeded 100 kilograms. Later, in order to make a comeback, he began to actively "lose weight" and lost more than 30 kilograms in an instant, which caused a serious imbalance of hormones in his body. Not only was he hospitalized several times, but his hair also fell out in large quantities, which he said he could not bear.

The popular host Zeng Guocheng has reached the peak of his career and weight because of his food show. He gained weight to 87 kilograms at the end of last year. His body shape often makes him "choke" when wearing clothes, and his health check reports have repeatedly warned that his liver index is seriously exceeded. For him, who is nearly 45 years old, it is really harmful to his health.

There is also "Sister Luo" Luo Peiying, who once revealed on the show that she had tried many weight-loss methods in order to maintain a good figure on the screen. The most drastic of them was to drink a large glass of water after a meal and run to the toilet to use her fingers to dig her throat to "induce vomiting", vomiting all the delicacies she had just eaten. When Jolin Tsai first debuted, she was dubbed the "boy killer" for her "baby fat" face. However, in private, she is said to have adopted a "semi-fasting method" of only one meal a day in order to get rid of her "chubby face on the screen." Not only did she lose weight to only 38 kilograms, her gastrointestinal function also developed problems, and she even had stomach pains that made her unable to work. Finally, she chose to use the "water treatment" method to remove the oil from the food, so that she could maintain her figure without damaging her health.

Artists, whether in appearance or inward qualities, are often the subject of criticism or emulation by the audience, and are also the key to determining the success of their performing arts career. However, if one harms one's health for the sake of performing arts, then the loss is truly not worth it.
