Multiple Injuries Among Participants...Local Controversy Grows

A female BJ lost her life at a 'Spartan-style diet camp' in China. This camp is known for its grueling schedule aimed at achieving rapid weight loss goals.


On the 13th (local time), the US media outlet Insider reported on the death of Chuihwa (21), a famous female BJ in China, at a diet camp. Weighing 156 kg, Chuihwa entered the camp to lose over 90 kg in a short period and achieve a slim figure.


Known for its intense exercise and strict diet management, the camp reportedly focused the residents' lives solely on fitness during their stay and implemented a closed lodging model.


Chuihwa shared the process of undergoing high-intensity exercise and diet management after entering the camp on her broadcast. These videos reportedly gained great popularity among local netizens. The broadcasts also captured her suffering from the stress of exercise and diet management.

The camp's diet schedule initially showed some effectiveness. According to Shanghai Morning News, the first media outlet to report the incident, Chuihwa claimed to have lost about 26 kg in the first two months.


However, shortly after, Chuihwa began to experience abnormal symptoms and eventually passed away. The exact cause of death has not been revealed. Most of her diet videos posted on her Chinese social media accounts were reportedly set to private.


The bereaved family expressed, "We thank everyone who sent support and love to Chuihwa. Our child has gone to heaven," and added, "We hope that malicious rumors do not distort the incident and cause harm to the parents and family."


News of Chuihwa's death sparked controversy in China. One netizen commented, "The rapid weight loss was probably too much for her heart to handle," and questioned the camp's safety protocols, saying, "No fitness coach should recommend such a high-intensity diet."


Meanwhile, according to media reports, high-intensity weight loss camps are very popular in China. These camps have residents stay in one lodging facility for several months, training and eating daily with trainers and other trainees.



However, safety concerns about these camps continue to be raised. In March, it was reported that residents at several diet camps across China suffered muscle injuries or contracted fatal diseases.
