Shila Amzah sheds 12kg for upcoming concert, credits husband's encouragement

Shila Amzah is focusing on weight loss to ensure she has the stamina for her "Shila Amzah KITA: 25 Tahun Bersama" concert on August 15. The concert will feature 40 songs, requiring her to be in peak physical condition.

"I am losing weight for the concert because I will be performing 40 songs. I need to ensure my stamina and physical condition are at their best," Shila stated. She explained that her previous weight made it difficult to maintain vocal quality and stamina throughout her performance.

Having already shed 12 kilograms, Shila clarified that she did not undergo intestinal or bariatric surgery. Instead, she adopted a healthy diet and rigorous physical training, comparing her routine to that of an athlete. "What's certain is that I did not have my intestines cut. At over 30 years old, there are many things we must pay attention to," she said. She also takes supplements and currently weighs 64 kg, with a target of 60 kg. Her larger frame means even a five-kilogram loss is noticeable.

Her husband, Ubai Amir, who is eight years her junior, also provides significant motivation. "My husband is eight years younger than me. I don't want to look old quickly. So, this is my way of looking younger," she shared. He also encourages her to cycle, often extending their rides beyond the planned distance.
