Personal Trainer

• Lee confessed that she has a natural tendency to gain weight and has to diet and exercise rigorously to stay slim and energetic for stage performances. During the early years of her career when she was still a teenager, the pressure to lose weight made her starve herself and exercise so intensely that she nearly pushed herself to partial deafness.
• Post-treatment and recovery, Lee restricts the duration and exercises in the gym and relies more on a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables prescribed by her nutritionist to stay lean. The singer has a sweet tooth and an even greater fondness for eating meat. She consumes her favorite foods in moderate portions only when she is not touring, traveling or promoting.
• Lee normally consumes 3 meals a day at a fixed time –
  • Breakfast – 10 am
  • Lunch – 1 pm
  • Dinner – 4 pm
• In case of unexpected hunger pangs, she usually eats half a sweet potato with 3 cherry tomatoes as a mid-meal snack.
