On October 29, Xia Yan, a senior student at the School of Fine Arts, Anqing Normal University, shared her transformation from 190 jin (95kg) to her current fit physique on social media, sparking widespread attention. Netizens were astonished to see that the beautiful instructor, standing 170cm tall and weighing only 50kg with visible abs, was once quite overweight. Due to her weight, Xia Yan struggled to find suitable clothing and was often mistaken for a boy. Her obesity even caused dizziness and fainting episodes in high school. After the college entrance exam, determined to start university with a fresh look, she committed to a strict regimen of diet control and exercise. Regarding her diet, she strictly limits carbohydrates and meat and avoids high-calorie foods. "I haven't had a carbonated drink in three years; I only drink plain water or a little yogurt when I'm thirsty," Xia Yan shared. By engaging in at least two and a half hours of daily exercise—including running, jumping rope, and dancing—She transformed from an uncoordinated freshman into a dance instructor for two classes.
