Kim Hee-sun: Sweetly and happily slimming down.

>

It's hard to imagine that Kim Hee-sun, South Korea's number one beauty, was an unremarkable "chubby girl" before entering the entertainment industry.

Later, a friend introduced her to the honey diet, which helped her maintain her attractive figure.

>

She explained that the method is actually very simple: just mix 1 tablespoon of honey with 1 liter of water (you can also add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar for flavor), drink it for 2-3 consecutive days, and you will have unexpected results.

Although honey does contain a lot of sugar, it is rich in vitamins, and people who are overweight or in poor health can choose honey to replace regular meals.

>

In addition, she also likes to drink lemon tea to help eliminate waste from her body, reduce toxins, and consolidate the weight loss effect.

Soak the lemon in hot water for a short time, then slice it and steep it in water. If the taste is not good, you can add some honey. Drink it before exercising at night and after exercising in the morning for better weight loss results.

**Michelle Reis: Saying Goodbye to Snacks**

>

Michelle Reis's tall and slender model figure has given her a lot of confidence.

She said it was because she rarely ate snacks.

Because most snacks are high in sugar and fat, such as candy, pastries, and dried fruit.

In particular, the refined sucrose and glucose in these foods are easily absorbed by the human body and converted into fat, thus causing fat to accumulate in the body.

Fried snacks are high in fat and often high in sugar.

>

Therefore, snacks sometimes contain even more calories than regular meals-no wonder Michelle Reis avoids them.

>

**Brigitte Lin: The Unfailing Myth of Beauty**

>

As Brigitte Lin enters middle age, she pays close attention to her diet in order to maintain a fit and slender figure.

>

Brigitte Lin's breakfast consists of just one banana, which only contains 8 calories and is enough to fill her up.

Whenever she craves chocolate or ice cream, she drinks water instead.

If I want to eat steak or meatballs, I'd rather have them grilled than fried.

>

Brigitte Lin also likes to eat carrots, green peppers, cucumbers, cauliflower and celery cut into strips as snacks, or store them in the refrigerator for easy access, or carry them with her as snacks.

She usually carries chewing gum with her and eats a piece when she's hungry to suppress her appetite.

>

**Cecilia Cheung: 24 Pounds for a Peach Blossom Face**

>

In "Wish Upon a Star," Cecilia Cheung still had a cute, round face, but now she's become the spokesperson for a face-slimming and belly-slimming cream, having lost a full 24 pounds at her thinnest.

So how did she manage to lose weight successfully in six months without spending much money?

>

(1) Abstain from meat and eat vegetables.

For the past six months, Cecilia Cheung has completely given up eating meat and has switched to boiled vegetables and soup as her staple food.

She said the key to successfully losing weight is to be patient.

Once you reach your desired weight, you can reward yourself by eating some of your favorite foods in moderation.

>

(2) Running and dancing.

Cecilia Cheung runs on the treadmill at home whenever she has time, and she does this for an hour every day.

If you work in another city, swim instead.

She also learns to dance and practices with a line dance teacher, dancing for an hour each time, which is very helpful in maintaining her body shape.

>

(3) Increase the workload appropriately.

When work gets busy, there's no time to think about what snacks to eat, and your willpower to control your diet also increases.

Therefore, during her weight loss period, in addition to filming movies, Cecilia Cheung also released a new album, making her workload twice as heavy as usual.

>

(4) You must persevere.

Losing weight is not easy; you'll definitely suffer some hardships, but if you stay firm in your beliefs and stick to your decisions, you'll eventually see results.

>

(5) Lose weight without medication.

Cecilia Cheung also used foreign drugs to lose weight. Although the weight loss was fast, it felt very unhealthy and the weight rebound was very easy.

Therefore, she no longer believes in weight loss drugs, as they are prone to side effects and the effects are short-lived.

Sammi Cheng: The Magic Rules of the Magic Kitchen

>

Sammi Cheng's slender and graceful figure has always been the envy of many women. Now let's take a look at how she maintains her good figure.

>

> (1) Choose low-calorie cuts of meat.

In fact, animal protein does not necessarily cause fat accumulation in the body, but fat attached to meat will definitely make people gain weight.

Therefore, when eating meat, Sammi Cheng removes the fat and only eats the lean meat.

>

(2) Steam, not fry.

One-quarter of the calories in fried foods are absorbed from the oil.

Therefore, it is much better to replace fried food with steamed or boiled food.

>

(3) Choose more high-quality protein foods.

Besides meat, tofu is also a high-quality protein food.

Mix tofu and shiitake mushrooms to make tofu balls, which are a delicious low-calorie, high-protein treat.

>

(4) Choose big over small.

If she absolutely had to choose fried food, Sammi Cheng would choose large pieces because large pieces have less oil than small pieces, and small pieces are easier to eat, so she wouldn't feel the effects even after eating a lot.

When eating fried food, she would remove the surface oil or squeeze out the oil from the fried meat.

>

(5) Use kitchen utensils with less oil.

Sammi Cheng highly recommends using non-stick pans or microwave ovens for cooking, as this allows you to make delicious meals with just a small amount of oil.

Even if you must use oil to stir-fry the vegetables, you can use chopsticks to hold absorbent paper around the vegetables after they are cooked to absorb the excess oil.

>

(6) Walk and dance on time.

Sammi Cheng enjoys walking, jogging, and dancing. She believes that walking after meals is very beneficial for weight loss. She believes that walking or jogging every day will make a person exude a beautiful charm. Dancing can also have a weight loss effect and can exercise a person's muscles.

Therefore, she created a "fitness schedule" for herself, including regular walking and dancing.

Gigi Leung: The Pyramid Diet for Weight Loss**

>

Gigi Leung has a secret to losing weight: sticking to a pyramid-shaped food structure.

In other words, the most consumed foods are the foundation of the "pyramid," while the least consumed foods are located at the top.

The base of the tower mainly consists of food: bread, cereals, and rice.

> At the bottom of the tower are vegetables and fruits, and above that are dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt, as well as meat, poultry, fish, dried beans, eggs, and nuts.

The top of the tower is made of fat, oil, and dessert.

>

In addition, she would drink plenty of water before meals, which would make her feel less hungry, reduce her food intake, and achieve her goal of weight loss.

Lai Ya-yen: "Taiwan's Dae Jang Geum" Herbal Slimming Treatment

>

Lai Ya-yan, whose family owns a Chinese medicine shop, grew up surrounded by the unique aroma of Chinese herbs. Through this exposure, she gradually learned about this ancient science and used the principles of traditional Chinese medicine to regulate qi and blood from the inside out to slim down her body, thus avoiding the harm caused by blindly dieting.

This greatly helps her maintain her model figure; she believes that as long as she puts in enough effort in "drinking," she can have a good figure.

>

Megan Lai's Top Picks:

>

(1) Winter melon and red bean slimming soup:

>

Soak 60 grams of red beans for half a day, cut 500 grams of winter melon into small pieces, cook them together until soft, and add a little rock sugar.

>

(2) Roselle slimming tea:

>

Add 50 grams of dried red guava, dried tangerine peel, and hawthorn to three large bowls of water (enough for two days) and simmer for 30 minutes.

Drink a cup before dinner every day, and you'll see results after a month.

>

> (3) Prepared Aconite and Euryale Seed Decoction:

>

Boil 15 grams of prepared aconite root, 50 grams of fox nuts, and 10 grams of fresh ginger in boiling water for 30 minutes. This can be drunk as an alternative to roselle tea and is very effective in reducing edema.

**Ji Minjia: Losing weight is a battle against yourself**

>

Ji Minjia participated in two seasons of Hunan TV's "Super Girl" competition. In 2004, she won fifth place in the Chengdu division but failed to qualify for the national finals.

After her defeat, she felt that her weight of over 130 pounds was hindering the realization of her dream. Before participating in the competition in 2005, she underwent a six-month weight loss plan and successfully reduced her weight to 105 pounds.

>

After failing to lose weight through exercise alone, she realized that she had to adjust her diet and say goodbye to the lifestyle of "ice cola in one hand and spicy hot pot in the other".

>

Eating plenty of vegetables and fruits at each meal increases satiety and can suppress carbohydrate intake.

From being starving at the beginning to finally adapting to a list diet, Ji Minjia successfully defeated herself.

>

In addition, whenever she achieves a milestone, she rewards herself by eating hot pot without dipping sauce to satisfy her cravings, but she knows that there are things she shouldn't eat, and she really shouldn't eat them.

>

Ji Minjia also puts photos of each stage on her computer to remind herself that victory is just around the corner; she asks her mother to monitor her eating habits; and she exercises with friends to adjust her weight loss environment.
