Weight loss and dieting have claimed another victim, with famous
Taiwan singer Panda Xiong being admitted to hospital after excess
dieting.
The veteran singer felt unwell on Tuesday, sweating profusely
and nearly fainting on the set of CCTV's "Tonight" program.
Xiong's wife immediately sent him to hospital. According to his
doctor, Xiong had unhealthily low levels of blood sugar due to
excess dieting.
Xiong admitted that since making his comeback in the
entertainment industry, he has gone on a strict diet in order to
lose weight. He has not eaten a main meal for over a year and
sometimes only eats liquid food to survive.
