Fan Bingbing Shares How She Lost 6kg In 7 Days; Gets Slammed By Netizens For Setting A Bad Example

Chinese actress Fan Bingbing recently took to her Douyin to share that she's lost 6kg in seven days. 

The 40-year-old actress, who documented her entire weight-loss journey in detail, said that she susbsisted on liquids the entire week, triggering a flurry of criticism from netizens who said that she was setting a bad example, especially for impressionable young people. 

Seriously?

According to Bingbing, she's undergoing a fasting technique called "bigu", or grain avoidance, though it sounds like she's avoiding more than that.

Bingbing emphasised that her weight-loss technique is catered to her personal body type, and also repeatedly reminded netizens not to follow her diet, and she did not mention if this was a medically sound way to lose weight. That said, it does sound like a nutritionist's worst nightmare.

Her diet included only a variety of drinks, such as apple cider vinegar, lemon and passionfruit water and red date water. Uh huh, no food. On top of that, she also did brisk walking and hot yoga over the course of the week.

The actress claims that her exercise and diet regime helped her to lose 6kg in seven days, and that she did not feel hungry until the third day.

Not hungry meh?

Bingbing confessed: "By the third night [I] felt a little hungry. I didn't [update my progress] yesterday, but I felt that everything was normal on the second day."

Netizens disagreed with her, though.

Some thought that Bingbing started looking "sluggish" and "listless" by the fifth day, and criticised that her weight-loss technique is very unhealthy. A netizen also shared her personal experience with a similar diet, claiming that it resulted in hair-loss and caused her to miss her periods.

"Especially for the highly impressionable young people, this kind of extreme [diet] might lead to other eating disorders," wrote one netizen.

Stick to a balanced and healthy diet instead, people.
