A 26-year-old woman in Hangzhou, China, identified as Xiaoyu, developed prediabetes after undergoing an extreme diet to lose weight for her best friend's wedding. Determined to slim down from her initial weight of 65kg at 160cm tall, Xiaoyu lost 15kg in two months by drastically restricting her diet to small portions of vegetables and chicken breast, while almost entirely cutting out staple foods. This "devil weight-loss plan" ultimately backfired, leading to the prediabetes diagnosis. The incident has sparked online discussion about the dangers of crash dieting.
