Chinese Singer Reveals Scary Weight Loss Diet; Loses 8kg By Eating 1 Meal A Day

How far will you go to lose weight? Well, Sing! China star Li Ronghao will go pretty far. 

Who is Li Ronghao? 

Ronghao is currently a coach on Sing! China alongside many big names such as Wang Leehom and Na Ying. 

Other than being a coach, Ronghao is also is a C-pop singer-songwriter. Some of his more popular songs include ‘Li Bai’ and ‘Can’t Bear It’. 

Ronghao is currently on his ‘If I Were Young’  world tour and will be performing in Singapore’s Indoor Stadium next Saturday. You can purchase tickets to his concert here.

His Weight Loss Journey

A few days ago, Li Ronghao took to Weibo to share with his fans his insane weight loss routine. 

His diet had the eight following steps: 

1. He ate one meal a day, lunch, and he mostly ate broccoli, chicken breast and sweet potato, all boiled. 
2. He quit eating starch-based food like noodles and rice
3. He exercised for an hour once a day doing either weights or cardio
4. He slept early stating that it was more effective for his body than exercising
5. He said that when he was hungry late at night, he would think of how his fats were burning to remind himself that it will be all worth it
6. He advised people to persevere for at least a month, stating it was useless to just do this for a few days 
7. He then suggested that people change their beauty ideals if the diet doesn’t work after a month and try to believe that they will look better if they are fatter if this doesn’t help them lose weight
8. He also left a disclaimer that this was not scientifically proven. This diet just worked for him so if people want to try it out, they should do so with caution.

Okay. Wow. That is kind of intense.

But did it work?

By sticking strictly to his diet, Li Ronghao managed to lose 8kg in just a month. 

This caused his fans to worry for his health as they were scared he was taking his weight loss way too far. 

His diet plan also received a lot of backlash as many flooded his Weibo with comments about how this could be harmful to people’s health if they tried it out. 

Some warned that the diet is so intense that girls who try it “won’t get their period” and others pointed out that this could cause acid reflux since the intake of food is so little. 

Why is Li Ronghao doing this? 

While he did not publicly state a reason for his sudden want to lose weight, many speculate it has something to do with his upcoming wedding with Chinese Singer Rainie Yang. 

Well, it seems like not only his fans are worried because even his fiancé, Rainie, said that she will remind Ronghao not to go too far with his dieting and to eat well.

It is completely fine to want to lose some weight but quick fixes through crazy diets could be detrimental to one’s health, hopefully Ronghao will soon realise that he already looks perfect and that he doesn’t need to do this to look amazing!
