Lee Ming-chuan drops 14kg after triglyceride scare, reveals hidden danger of living alone in mountains

Director and producer Eric Tsang has gathered over 100 internet celebrities for a charity reality competition program titled "The Distance Between Internet Celebrities and Goodness." The show's recording on August 11 featured singers Wang Tong and Lee Ming-chuan as judges. The program celebrated a milestone, with single episodes achieving over 150,000 YouTube views and 1.56 million IG impressions.

Lee Ming-chuan appeared significantly thinner, revealing he has actively lost 14 kilograms in recent years. This drastic weight loss was prompted by a concerning health check-up where his triglyceride levels reached an alarming 700, far exceeding the normal range of 80-90. The clinic even called him back for a follow-up, emphasizing the severity of the situation.

Normal people are 80, 90, I was 700!

Determined to manage his health without immediate medication, Lee Ming-chuan focused on dietary and lifestyle changes. After more than a year of adjustments and blood tests, his triglyceride levels have decreased to around 300. He admitted that high triglyceride levels run in his family, suggesting a possible genetic component, though doctors still recommended weight loss.

I really didn't pay much attention to being fat or thin before, but after middle age, I feel that diet and lifestyle habits really need attention.

Over approximately two and a half years, Lee Ming-chuan shed 14 kilograms, bringing his current weight to 69 kilograms. His clothing size has shrunk from L/XL to XS in European and American brands. He acknowledged that he hadn't paid much attention to his weight before but now recognizes the importance of diet and lifestyle habits in middle age.

Lee Ming-chuan also shared that he was born prematurely and has a heart condition. Living alone in the mountains further heightened his awareness of personal safety. He avoids drinking alcohol or exercising at home, fearing delays in emergency services if an accident occurs. He now pays close attention to small details, such as habitually holding handrails when going up and down stairs, a habit adopted after a fall when he first moved to the mountains.

I don't drink alcohol or exercise at home, because if something happens, I'm afraid the ambulance won't make it in time.
