  • Taiwanese entertainer "Yogurt Sister" Lin Peijun has started an 8-week weight loss plan after gaining 7 kilograms due to illness.
  • She experienced a severe allergic reaction, including hives and angioedema, which led to anaphylactic shock and a coma.
  • The weight gain and increased visceral fat have prompted her to adjust her diet, including abstaining from fruits and dairy for 8 weeks, despite the difficulty and ongoing steroid medication.

Taiwanese entertainer Lin Peijun, known as "Yogurt Sister," is embarking on an eight-week weight loss journey after a recent health scare and subsequent weight gain. Over a month ago, Lin suffered a sudden onset of hives accompanied by angioedema, leading to anaphylactic shock and a coma. She narrowly escaped death, crediting her brother's presence and knowledge of CPR for saving her life.

If you also have hives, and medication and injections cannot suppress it and it is accompanied by angioedema, remember to be highly vigilant!

โ€” Lin PeijunLin Peijun shared this warning based on her severe allergic reaction.

Following her recovery and discharge from the hospital, Lin revealed that her illness caused her to gain seven kilograms, bringing her weight to 59 kilograms. Her visceral fat level also increased to 11. This significant change has motivated her to undertake a rigorous eight-week plan focused on dietary adjustments and health management to restore her body to its optimal state.

The most challenging aspect of the plan, according to Lin, is abstaining from fruits and dairy products for the duration of the eight weeks. She explained that the fructose and lactose in these foods significantly impact insulin fluctuations. Additionally, she must shift from frequent small meals to concentrated eating periods within each meal, a change she finds extremely difficult. The first week's goal is to "eliminate sugar" to stabilize insulin levels and rapidly improve her physical condition.

This change in eating habits is really extremely difficult for me.

Lin is currently still taking steroid medication, which her nutritionist warned would make the weight loss process more challenging. However, she remains determined, stating, "It's okay, weight loss is not something to rush!" Her commitment highlights the personal battle she faces in regaining her health and well-being after a life-threatening experience.

It's okay, weight loss is not something to rush!
