With fair skin, a fresh face, and a slender figure, Zhao Lusi is often mentioned as a natural beauty icon among young Chinese starlets.
Despite her weight peaking at only 47 kg, the star of "Hidden Love" maintains a strict body management regimen to achieve a toned physique, long, slim legs, and a slender waist.
Here are four tips the actress uses to maintain her lean body.
Avoid extreme fasting to prevent your body from "rebelling"
Zhao Lusi once attempted a "water-only diet" for weight loss but quickly failed. She shared, "Fasting leads to uncontrolled rebound eating. The body cannot endure prolonged deprivation; eventually, you will eat more than you did before attempting to lose weight."
According to the actress, sudden cravings sometimes stem from stress that needs to be relieved. At such times, instead of reaching for food, she often takes a walk or finds something to do to divert her attention, helping to alleviate pressure in a healthier way.

Reduce sugar and high-calorie foods
Instead of excessive dieting, Zhao Lusi focuses on eliminating harmful factors for her physique: sweets and oily foods.
"I tend to completely cut out sweets and high-calorie foods. Things that are too sweet or too fatty are a burden on the body," she stated. Her regimen includes:
Reducing carbohydrate intake from white rice by 50%.
Completely avoiding fried foods and refined sweets.
Always checking ingredient labels to control calorie intake when snacking.
The "small bowl" rule and a 3 kg/week diet plan
To control her portions, Zhao Lusi often uses small bowls to establish portion control habits. Her principle is: Eat a variety of foods during the day and keep meals very light in the evening.
Her evening menu typically consists of cucumber mixed with bean sprouts, wood ear mushrooms, or various vegetable juices. The actress once revealed a diet plan that helped her quickly lose 3 kg in one week: Eat normally (but healthily) during the day, and only consume green vegetables or low-sugar, low-calorie fruits in the evening.
Beauty-enhancing apple drink to regulate qi and blood circulation
The beauty-enhancing apple concoction that's currently a hit on social media actually originated from Zhao Lusi's daily routine. She stated that she drinks this concoction every day to improve her complexion and physique.
The recipe includes:
one apple, skin on.
three slices of astragalus.
3-4 red dates.
three longan seeds.
A small handful of goji berries and ophiopogon japonicus.
All ingredients are simmered with 600 ml of water over low heat for 10 minutes. This drink is not only pleasantly sweet and easy to consume but also helps regulate qi and blood circulation, enhancing skin beauty from within, making it especially suitable for women's physical constitution.
Born in 1998, Zhao Lusi is a prominent Chinese actress of the post-1995 generation. Audiences love her through many historical and modern dramas such as "The Romance of Tiger and Rose", "Love Like the Galaxy", and "Hidden Love". With her sweet beauty, fair skin, and approachable demeanor, Zhao Lusi is often mentioned as a symbol of natural beauty, not following cosmetic surgery trends. Beyond acting, she is also popular for her healthy lifestyle and youthful, positive image.
