Shawn Yue shares the story behind his new body image
13 Jan - Shawn Yue might have dropping jaws left and right with his new toned body and muscular physique, but according to the actor, getting to it was no easy feat.
As reported on Liberty Times, the actor, who worked out and trained hard for the last ten months to build his body for the upcoming movie, "Wu Kong", admitted that he had to follow a strict diet that prohibited him from consuming starch and sugar.
"It was hard, because I like all things sugar and starch," he said.
Shawn said that his new menu also consists of eating only six berries for dinner, and that he had since learned how to make it more bearable.
"I would eat one by one slowly, and would take up to ten minutes to finish all of them, just to trick my body into thinking I am full. I was so hungry," he said.
He admitted that due to the strict diet and rigorous training, there were a few times that he nearly gave up.
"One time, I even got angry at my trainer, but he told me, 'You don't have to like me. As long as other people will like you, that's good enough for me'. I was moved," he said.
Shawn admitted that the result of his hard work really gave him a sense of pride, and added that he learned one will be able to do it if one only overcomes one's limit.
