If you’ve been following Benjamin Kheng on social media lately, you may have noticed that he has been looking noticeably leaner.<\/p>\n
From joining run clubs to doing Hyrox with former national swimmer Pang Sheng Jun, the multi-hyphenate has been leading a rather active lifestyle.<\/p>\n
When 8days.sg last spotted Kheng at 987 DJ Sonia Chew’s wedding in May, we also noticed he was looking noticeably different. A fellow guest even commented that he looked particularly fresh that morning.<\/p>\n
In a TikTok video addressing comments about his weight loss, Kheng quickly shut down rumours that he took weight loss medications, such as reta, short for retatrutide. He also thanked everyone who had commented about his weight loss.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t have the time or the money,\u201d he said, referring to weight loss medications.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat I am on, if you would like to try, is a lot of running. 60 kilometres a week because I\u2019m training for my marathon block,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Kheng went on to reveal that his lifestyle changes were triggered by a health scare last year.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause last year I had a high cholesterol (reading). I had an LDL reading of 252, which, if you know anything, is really, really, really bad,\u201d he said, adding that he is on lifelong medication.<\/p>\n
LDL refers to low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and is widely known as \u201cbad\u201d cholesterol. Anything above 130\u2013159 mg\/dL is considered borderline high.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
