Taiwanese singer Xu Zhihao is preparing for his first solo concert in 20 years, titled 'Please Come,' scheduled to take place at Legacy Taipei. To ensure he is in peak condition for the performance, he has undergone a significant physical transformation, shedding 5 kilograms in just over a month.
Xu Zhihao, who admits to being a "carb monster" and having a fondness for late-night hot pot meals, has imposed strict dietary restrictions. He has significantly cut back on white rice, other carbohydrates, and even fruits. Complementing his diet, he has committed to a daily one-hour treadmill routine. This disciplined approach has yielded visible results, with Xu Zhihao humorously noting that even his rumored girlfriend, Weng Yujun, has complimented his improved appearance.
"It wasn't easy," Xu Zhihao shared about his weight loss journey. "I'm a huge fan of rice and noodles, and I love eating hot pot after work. So, besides exercise, the hardest part was controlling my appetite. But I did it!" he exclaimed, highlighting the personal challenge he overcame.
The singer's dedication has not gone unnoticed, as numerous celebrity friends have rallied to support his debut solo concert. Among them are Wu Shenmei, Weng Yujun, Lin Qiao'an, Yan Yonglie, Cai Changxian, Chen Mengxian, and Wang Xingyu, who have all contributed financially to provide meals for him during rehearsals. Additionally, local businesses have offered their support, with renowned baker Chris Wu providing signature bread and the century-old Li Gou pastry shop from Keelung donating gift boxes, demonstrating a strong community backing for Xu Zhihao's milestone event.
