How C-Drama’s Sexiest Stars Stay Slim: A Look at Their Fitness and Diet Routines

Article (news)

<p>Entrenched in<strong> Chinese culture</strong> is a profound appreciation for a <strong>well-balanced, nourishing diet</strong>. While this culinary philosophy might seem abstract at first glance, zooming in reveals a mindset that can radically shift how we perceive calories and consumption. And no, it&#x27;s not a diet filled with Yang Chow Fried Rice or Sweet &amp; Sour Pork!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1779169493730METRO.STYLE BEAUTY BANNER-11.png" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Tian Xiwei, Esther Yu, and Zhao Lusi in their sexiest look yet</span></span></span></div><p>Have you ever wondered how our favorite Chinese stars maintain their stunning figures? It isn&#x27;t just about fasting or following the <strong>OMAD (One Meal a Day)</strong> trend seen on TikTok. Instead, their approach is rooted in a deep cultural appreciation for a well-balanced and nourishing diet. Their diet isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our bodies are different, especially for women, when hormones play a pivotal part in balancing weight. That&#x27;s why these stars follow a unique fitness and dietary regimen that personally works with their body to maintain a model-like physique. Their enviable curves aren&#x27;t the result of all-day lounging on the couch but rather a testament to a dedicated commitment to health that keeps them looking both ageless and radiant.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Tian Xiwei</strong></div><p>Despite Tian Xiwei’s petite and delicate frame, many fans wondered how she was able to carry Zhang Linghe on her back during that famous scene in &#x27;Pursuit of Jade&#x27;—and now we know the secret! Xiwei maintains an incredibly active lifestyle. As seen on her social media posts on Weibo and Instagram, she is constantly on the move, whether she is surfing, snow skiing, or playing tennis.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1779101829799Xiwei 1.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Tian Xiwei | Photo via @vv.tian</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://metro.style/beauty/2026/4/20/pursuit-of-jade-s-tian-xiwei-is-china-s-ultimate-it-girl-1100" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">READ: Pursuit of Jade’s Tian Xiwei is China’s Ultimate IT Girl</a></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Dilraba Dilmurat</strong></div><p>Dilraba’s fitness and diet are the secrets to her goddess physique and glowing skin. One contributing factor is her pork-free diet, mainly due to her Uyghur ethnicity and Muslim beliefs, which steer her away from these types of meals. That means her main dishes are composed of veggies, omega-3 fats, and high-protein foods! </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1779101926130Dilraba.jpg" style="width:700px;display:block;height:auto" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Dilraba Dilmurat | Photo via @dilrabaxx63</span></span></span></div><div> </div><div><strong>Zhang Ruonan</strong></div><p>Zhang Ruonan’s willowy figure is a result of her dedication to eating greens and soup-based foods.

Her first rule of thumb? Eliminating refined sugar, which triggers bloating and adds empty calories. She paired this with a strict low-fat diet, swapping heavy, high-cholesterol meals for crisp, leafy greens and nutrient-dense whole foods.</p><div><br style="caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1779159928785Esther Yu.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Esther Yu | Photo via @estheeerrrrr</span></span></span></div><div><br style="caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"/></div><div><strong>Wang Churan</strong></div><p>While Wang Churan keeps the specific details of her strict pre-role diet under wraps, she hasn’t been shy about sharing her fitness routine on social media. To stay beautifully sculpted for her on-screen roles, she commits to a well-rounded gym regimen. Her sessions typically combine weight training, targeted leg exercises, and cardio, ensuring her body remains strong, healthy, and perfectly toned.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1779163695715Churan.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Wang Churan | Photo via @churan00</span></span></span></div><div><br style="caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"/></div><div><strong>Zhao Lusi</strong></div><p>When Zhao Lusi shared her go-to herbal drink on social media, it instantly went viral, sparking a wave of DIY recreations across the internet.
