- Actress Atikah Suhaime believes having no money is the easiest way to lose weight quickly.
- She stated that in the past, financial hardship forced her to skip meals, contributing to weight loss.
- Now, with a stable income, she finds herself spending more on food and coffee, sometimes pretending to be broke to avoid purchases.
Actress Atikah Suhaime suggests that financial constraints can be a surprisingly effective method for rapid weight loss. The 35-year-old Malaysian celebrity, whose full name is Nur Atikah Mohd Suhaime, disagrees with the notion that losing weight requires significant financial investment.

Atikah, who is now married to entrepreneur Datuk Lokman Teh and actively manages a business with him, noted a contrast in her current lifestyle. "Now that I have money, I buy coffee latte more often and frequently have dinner with my husband. Sometimes I have to pretend I have no money or deliberately leave my wallet at home so I don't order that coffee," she admitted.

She humorously concluded, "The trick to losing weight is actually to pretend you don't have money so you won't buy anything. It's really easy to lose weight if you don't have money."
