How this Hong Kong executive lost 32kg in 8 months through exercise and a diet overhaul
Two years ago, Keizer Cheng had 37 per cent body fat, aching knees and trouble sleeping. Now he’s sculpted and doing Hyrox races
At 25, Keizer Cheng was living a typical life as a young Hong Kong professional: working long hours with relentless deadlines and the constant hum of pressure. On paper, he was a successful executive. In reality, his body was buckling under the weight of his choices.
His wake-up call came in a moment so ordinary it was almost absurd: he was sitting on the toilet, his stomach pressed against him so tightly he felt suffocated.
“That’s it. I can’t live like this any more. Something has to change,” Cheng vividly recalls thinking.
Over the following eight months – from August 2024 to March 2025 – he shed 32kg, his weight dropping to 65kg and his body fat percentage to 12.5 per cent.
