ChuanDo Tan is a 51-year old Singaporean professional photographer. Looking handsome and sporting a perfect body, he has become a popular figure on the internet where he doesn’t mind sharing his secret formula with netizens.
Measuring 1.85 m tall and weighing 78 kg, Tan has a perfect figure. In an interview with the Singpaore Straits Times, he says his youthful appearance can be attributed to his diet (70%) and his exercise (30%).
“You are what you eat. So you don’t want to look like a hamburger, do you?” he asks rhetorically.
He insists he is not on a diet, but he would try to eat healthy, and focus on high-protein food, such as egg, chicken, and fish soup. He emphasizes the importance of watching one’s rice intake.
He was found to be eating a piece of toast and some grilled vegies for breakfast. He also ate six poached eggs, but only took two of the yokes.
He adds he avoids tea and coffee, but drinks a lot of water. But occasionally, he would spoil himself with junk food. He has a soft spot for ice-cream, and durian is his first love.
Tan exercises three to five times a week with each session lasting up to 1.5 hours; sometimes he also swims. Because of his tight working schedules, he is happy if he can manage exercising thrice a week. He adds that due to a previous injury to his knee cap, he shuns jogging, and instead walks briskly on the running machine.
Looking like a 20-year old, Tan says he doesn’t apply any skin care products because of his sensitive skin. When asked if he has undergone plastic surgery, he confesses that he once tried Botox, but was unhappy with the result, so he has never done it since.
Some netizens accuse him of engaging in self-promotion on the internet, but he couldn’t be bothered. “One is so insignificant that it is impossible to please everybody,” he says. “As long as I’m good to those around me and to God, that’s enough!”
