Gillian Chung jokes she gains weight just by breathing, shares smart tips to curb cravings

(Hong Kong, 22nd) Singer-actress Gillian Chung has long drawn attention for her fluctuating weight, often managing to slim down shortly after gaining. Recently, she shared her personal weight management strategies in a video, emphasizing that consistency is the true key, along with practical ways to handle cravings.

Gillian revealed that while many assume she can “gain or lose weight at will,” the reality of having an easy-to-gain body type is far more challenging. “It’s not just about self-control. Even when I eat normally or relax slightly, my weight steadily increases. It feels like I gain weight just by breathing—and losing it is even harder,” she admitted.

To maintain her physique, she rarely cooks and instead manages her calorie intake through controlled food delivery choices. She practices eating until about 80% full, following a simple rule: half portion of carbs, sufficient protein, and double portions of vegetables. She also opts for sugar-free drinks and prepares cucumber-infused water to stay hydrated while enhancing satiety.

She further noted that dieting often fails not due to hunger, but cravings. To counter this, she drinks diluted apple cider vinegar and even brushes her teeth as a psychological signal to stop eating. “It sounds a bit extreme, but it works—once you brush your teeth, you don’t feel like eating again,” she explained.

Reflecting on weight management, Gillian emphasized mindset: “The more anxious you are, the easier it is to lose control. The more you rush, the more likely you’ll fail.” For her, sustainable habits, normal eating, and a stress-free approach are the true keys to maintaining balance with one’s body.
