Shila Amzah discusses weight loss and health struggles

Singer Shila Amzah has shared details regarding her past struggles with weight management and physical health. She revealed that her weight previously reached 84 kilograms at a height of 165 centimeters, which caused physical ailments including knee and ankle pain.

Amzah identified emotional stress and lack of sleep as primary factors contributing to her weight gain, particularly during the Movement Control Order (MCO) period. She noted that she has since lost 12 kilograms through healthy lifestyle changes and dietary management rather than surgery, aiming to improve her stamina and vocal performance.

In response to criticism labeling her personal disclosures as ‘toxic,’ Amzah clarified that she was merely sharing her own lived experiences with body dysmorphia and health neglect. She emphasized that her comments were intended to reflect on her own journey and the reality of her physical pain, rather than to judge or target others.
