About Royce Lee: A Singapore #Fitspo in Focus
Royce Lee, age 33, is a host and content creator. Standing at 1.68m and weighing 60kg, he maintains a high protein diet and exercises five to six times a week. Despite his love for noodles, pasta, and bread, Royce has embraced a healthier lifestyle, making conscious food choices and following his fitness regime, paving the way for his physical transformation.
Royce Lee’s Journey to Fitness
Royce’s journey to fitness started when his friend Hazelle recommended her personal trainer, Lucas from FITLUC. Together they began with home-based online personal training sessions during the COVID-19 pandemic. This laid the groundwork for Royce’s love for fitness and he continued to incorporate exercise into his lifestyle, even when life got busy. Royce’s workout routine typically involves intense weight training and inclined walking.
The Transformation Challenges
Royce’s biggest challenge during his transformation was his diet. It was hard for him to cut down on carbs and sugar, but he found that once he got used to it, it became easier. His biggest realization was that in order to see a change in his physique, he needed to commit to a diet that was sustainable for him. He tried the ketogenic diet, which left him feeling light-headed, and realized that a high protein diet was the best choice for him.
The Impact of Transformation
Royce’s transformation drew comments about how skinnier he looked. He started sharing his fitness regime and diet tips with those who asked him about his weight loss journey. The support from his friends and being held accountable helped him to stay on track with his fitness regime.
Future Fitness Goals
Royce’s personal trainer encourages him to bulk up by eating more clean food. Despite the challenges of bulking up, Royce hopes to gain more muscle mass in the future. His transformation journey has taught him that fitness is a lifestyle rather than a phase, and he aims to maintain a sustainable fitness routine.
Despite working in the media industry, where there is pressure to look a certain way, Royce believes it is most important to be happy with your own appearance. He concludes that there is only so much you can do to change your appearance, and being content with the way you look is what matters most.
Maintaining a Healthy Diet and Exercise Routine
Since Royce’s work involves a lot of travel and food tastings, maintaining his diet and exercise routine can be challenging. However, he tries to do bodyweight exercises in his hotel room when he doesn’t have access to a gym. He is more mindful of what he eats and makes every food count.
Royce is also a co-founder of an F&B outlet, @momshug.sg, which sells customised healthy wraps and bowls. This allows him to have access to healthier food options around his workplace.
Boosting Self-Esteem Through Fitness
Royce has always been confident about his appearance, but he admits that his self-esteem was boosted when he started receiving positive comments about his transformation. He encourages others to brush off negative comments and take them with a grain of salt. His journey to fitness has taught him to look at the glass half full and not let the negative comments of others affect his self-esteem.
In conclusion, fitness is about maintaining a healthy lifestyle and being content with one’s own appearance. If there’s one thing that Royce’s journey to fitness has taught him, it’s the importance of being disciplined with his diet and making fitness a part of his daily routine.
