According to media reports, a netizen recently posted on Weibo a costume fitting schedule for the Yu Zheng adaptation of The Return of the Condor Heroes dated August 26. The document specifies that Chen Yixin will portray the role of Xiaolongnü, with her costume fitting scheduled for September 2.Previously, speculation swirled about Yu Zheng's potential choices for Xiaolongnü, with names like Angelababy, Yuan Shanshan, Zhang Meng, Zhao Liying, Guo Bitong, Li Xin'ai, Jing Tian, and even Song Qian being floated. The revelation of Chen Yanxi as Xiaolongnü left netizens stunned: "Her face is too round for the role!"Moreover, Chen Yanxi, born in 1983, is now 30 years old, while Xiao Longnu's appearance is maintained at around 18 years old.
Even renowned director Wong Jing was surprised by the casting of this slightly plump "goddess" as Xiao Longnu, unable to resist commenting:A Little Dragon Girl that fat?" After all, according to Jin Yong's descriptions, Little Dragon Girl is not only exceptionally beautiful but also subsists on pastries and cakes, sips a few mouthfuls of Jade Peak Nectar, and sleeps suspended on ropes. She possesses superb lightness kung fu and a naturally slender figure. Netizens dug up Chen Yanxi's ancient costume appearance from another drama, where her round face hardly meets the ancient standard of beauty often described as a "melon seed face."Netizen "PassingByDontStepOnJieChao" bluntly stated: "Chen Yanxi needs to lose weight first. She's really overweight now." Another user, "DemonXiaoYe_reasonChang," compared her to male lead Chen Xiao: "I wonder if the final cut will show us the gentlest Yang Guo ever and the most manly Xiaolongnü in history." Many more questioned: "Will the rope she sleeps on break?"
"How important is weight loss when even Wong Jing criticizes Chen Yanxi's Little Dragon Girl for being too fat?"
It's unclear how the executives of Yu Zheng's version of The Return of the Condor Heroes or Chen Yanxi herself feel about these comments (including Wong Jing's), but this incident does highlight one undeniable truth: weight loss is incredibly important!Setting aside the health risks of excessive weight, consider personal image: elegance for women and handsomeness for men both require a fit physique—Chen Yanxi is a prime example. Even naturally beautiful celebrities maintain strict body standards, making weight management a daily routine.

3. Girls' Generation's 1200-Calorie Menu
Girls' Generation highly recommends their 1200-calorie menu that doesn't require starvation.For breakfast and lunch, they eat brown rice and chicken breast, supplemented with lettuce salad and nuts. Dinner consists of sweet potatoes, boiled eggs, and salad. This balanced intake of carbohydrates, protein, and other nutrients across three meals ensures weight loss without hunger pangs.
4. Lee Hyori's Lettuce Diet
The wild and sexy actress Lee Hyori adopted the lettuce diet. Vegetables contain abundant fiber, which not only increases satiety but also helps eliminate toxins from the body.
The weight loss methods of the above celebrities involve exercise and dietary therapy, which are relatively healthy and eco-friendly approaches to slimming down, making them worth recommending. However, if individuals seeking beauty want to choose a more convenient and effective weight loss method, they may consider medical weight loss. Liposuction and lipolysis are both very popular medical weight loss methods today.
Liposuction employs physical methods like ultrasound or high-frequency electric fields to break down fat cells. A cannula is then inserted through a small incision into the subcutaneous fat layer, where negative pressure suction removes localized fat deposits to achieve weight loss and body contouring.
Lipolysis, a fat-dissolving procedure, is similar to liposuction in targeting localized fat deposits. However, its mechanism differs: it involves injecting agents like lecithin and choline into fat cells to weaken cell membranes, causing the fat tissue to break down and achieve localized slimming.
