A Shanghai man who wanted to gain weight spent 10,000 yuan (US$1,500) on online health products he thought would do the job only to end up losing 6.5kg in a month.

Liu, a truck driver, who is 1.78m tall and weighs 63kg, always thought he was too thin.
In March, he saw the social media account of an influencer surnamed Chen who shared her knowledge about helping people put on weight.
