To keep to his lean 67kg frame, he works out six to seven days a week and follows 18- to 24-hour intermittent fasts.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nZermatt recently hopped onto Reddit for an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on r\/SingaporeEats, where he answered netizens\u2019 burning questions on everything from his food challenges to his workout routines, and even his, um, post-challenge toilet situation.<\/p>\n
For Zermatt, the toughest challenges aren\u2019t always the biggest ones. Protein-heavy or processed foods like pizzas, hamburgers and steak are his real kryptonite.<\/p>\n
He can polish off 8kg to 9kg for rice and noodles, but for extremely meaty items, 6kg to 7kg is his limit.<\/p>\n
Was there ever a time he ate until he felt like dying?<\/p>\n
\u201cAll the time,\u201d Zermatt replied. \u201cFor shoots that I push myself, I tend to be suffering towards the end.\u201d<\/p>\n
When one netizen asked if he\u2019d ever had a dangerous or unexpected physical reaction, Zermatt revealed a story that made us wince.<\/p>\n
Many years ago, he attempted a burger way beyond his comfortable limit, and his \u201cstomach got distended it crushed [his] pancreas.\u201d<\/p>\n
He ended up in the ER, was warded for three days, and spent two weeks recovering from pancreatitis.<\/p>\n
His own summary: \u201cInsane.\u201d<\/p>\n
The most upvoted question of the night? Whether he gets stomach issues like acid reflux from eating too much.<\/p>\n
Surprisingly, no. Just cramps, if he goes \u201cbeyond a certain threshold.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for the TMI question about what happens in the bathroom after challenges, Zermatt says it\u2019s pretty \u201caverage\u201d. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI typically go up to three to four times a day after a food challenge,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n
And when a netizen prepping for a Christmas buffet<\/a> asked for tips to maximise their makan haul, Zermatt offered this gem: \u201cAim for the proteins (like your fave type) and keep going at it. I doubt you can beat the buffet but if you strategise properly, I think you can break even.\u201d<\/p>\nHonestly, this might be the most motivational quote of December.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
