KUALA LUMPUR: Hong Kong actress May Chan has wowed netizens with her dramatic transformation in only a year.
8Days reported yesterday that 39-year-old Chan embarked on her weight loss journey due to health problems.
The former TVB star, who once weighed 130kg, reached her target weight of 59kg, successfully shedding 71kg.
This has transformed her appearance and improved her health tremendously.
Chan said that her medical report last year showed that she no longer suffers from high blood sugar, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
The actress recently marked the anniversary of her weight loss journey with two photos on Instagram – one showing her at the start of her journey and the other her most recent photo.
"Finally, I can show off my waist! This summer, I should be able to wear the waist-revealing swimsuit I've been dreaming of," she said in her post.
Chan has decided to set a new goal – shedding an additional 13kg.
"Losing another 13 kilograms would make it perfect," she said.
In a previous interview, Chan said that she eats 50 per cent vegetables and 40 per cent protein.
The actress avoids consuming carbohydrates at night. She also reduced foods high in sugar and oil.
Many netizens praised Chan for her commitment and discipline, with several reminding her not to push herself too hard.
