To fit the 'skinny' image of Chinese showbiz, actress Li Yitong once lost weight from 60 kg to 42 kg with 3 simple habits.
1. Eat egg and bean soup instead of rice
During the rapid weight loss period, Li Yitong favored protein-rich, low-calorie ingredients such as egg whites, tofu, konjac... Her favorite dish is soft tofu soup cooked with vegetables. She applies a high-protein, low-calorie menu 4 days a week; the remaining 3 days are used to adjust the amount of nutrients. Li Yitong also focuses on eating slowly and chewing thoroughly so that the body can easily recognize the feeling of fullness, thereby controlling cravings and avoiding overeating.
Li Yitong often prepares healthy snacks such as konjac and avocado to eat during the day. These dishes do not contain many calories, and avocados are also rich in good fat, ideal for keeping fit and skin care.
2. Drink green tea every morning
Ly Nhat Dong said that every time she watched touching movies, she cried so much that her face was swollen the next morning. A friend advised her to add lemon juice to green tea and drink it during the day to improve the swelling.
Since then, Ly Nhat Dong often mixes this drink every morning with about 400 ml of green tea and a little lemon juice, and can add honey to enhance the flavor. The actress believes that this drink not only helps her reduce facial swelling after waking up but also promotes metabolism, thereby losing weight and fat more effectively.
3. Climbing stairs
The beauty born in 1990 believes that climbing stairs is the most effective weight loss exercise. She once climbed 22 floors, repeating 6 times a day for 3 consecutive months to burn excess fat. Li Yitong noted that you should not climb stairs when you are hungry or too full and should pay attention to protecting your knees to avoid injury. Beginners can start from 10 to 20 minutes, then gradually increase the intensity when the body is used to it.
The actress also often takes advantage of the break time between filming sets to do sit-ups, limiting fat accumulation as well as strengthening the core muscles to be stronger and firmer.
Originally a dancer, Li Yitong is remembered by the audience for her slim, graceful appearance, but few people know that she once weighed up to 60kg.
Li Yitong was born in 1990 and graduated from the Beijing Dance Academy. She played in Ban Yeu Khuynh Thanh, Anh Hung Xa Dieu (as Hoang Dung), Hai Duong Kinh Vu Yen Chi Thua, Kiem Vuong Trieu, Thoi Dai Cua Anh, Thoi Dai Cua Em... She was once in the Top 10 most favorite mainland celebrities in Hong Kong in 2017. Recently, she attracted attention when participating in the Chinese TV series Thu Quyen Nhat Mong.
