Those who like to refer to KMT legislator Lin Yi-shih as a "plump politician" may have to change their description soon, if not now, because the lawmaker has managed to shed 15 kilograms in less than two months, and he is just halfway into his weight loss program.

Legislator Lin Yi-shih proudly unzips his vest to show off his trimmer physique.

His beer belly is gone, and he has lost four inches off his waist.

When asked how he lost the weight, Lin says that he fasts after noon and eats a biscuit or two if he's hungry.

Before his successful weight loss, Lin was often compared to the Maitreya Buddha.

He made a 90-day pact with the deities if they would help him lose weight, and in less than half that time he has already shed 15 kilograms.

Lin previously tipped the scale at 115 kilograms, but now weighs in at a much trimmer 97 kilograms.
