Actress Cheryl Yang Warns Against Extreme Weight Loss, Advocates for Liver Health

Taiwanese actress Cheryl Yang, serving as an ambassador for liver health education, has revealed her past struggles with extreme weight loss tactics. She confessed to becoming obsessed with weight numbers, leading her to try various unconventional methods, including a "weight loss penalty competition" with celebrity friends.

Thin does not equal healthy.

While she achieved initial weight loss and won prize money, the intense pressure caused her menstrual cycle to become irregular and her physical stamina to plummet. This experience served as a wake-up call, making her realize the dangers of blindly pursuing a number on the scale.

Yang now promotes a new perspective on health, emphasizing that "thin does not equal healthy." She highlighted the risks of visceral fat accumulation and fatty liver disease, even in slender individuals, often referred to as "puff pastry people." Consequently, she has avoided using a weighing scale for years, preferring to monitor her waistline, body fat percentage, and liver health.

Happy weight is also fat!

As a dedicated ambassador, Yang has launched the "Liver Health Challenge," encouraging regular health check-ups and waist measurements. She humorously called out her husband for using "happy weight" as an excuse for his physique, insisting that all fat is still fat and urging him to join her in mutual health monitoring. Yang stressed that true health lies in reducing visceral fat and protecting liver function, not just in achieving a low weight.
