How does weight loss work?

Weight loss works based on “calories in, calories out”, i.e., you need to be burning more calories than you take in through your daily food intake. The key to managing your weight successfully is in ensuring that the calories that you consume do not exceed the calories that you use. There are also other factors to consider such as your age, body type and metabolism, on top of lifestyle factors such as your daily habits that all come into play into weight gain or loss.

What is the best weight loss treatment?

There are plenty of weight loss treatments available, but TCM slimming is one of the safest and best ways to lose weight. Our Divine Slim TM weight loss program encourages steady weight loss for effective and sustainable weight management. As compared to fad diets (diets that eliminate 1 or more food groups) that leave you feeling hungry and lethargic, or having to rely on machines to see results, our methods are backed by sound TCM principles that focus on facilitating your weight loss goals as well as cater to your overall health needs.

How does TCM help me lose weight?

Following the perspective that excessive weight gain is a symptom of a greater underlying health problem that needs to be addressed, TCM believes that excessive weight gain is due to a Qi deficiency in the spleen, resulting in a slow metabolism, water retention and weight gain. Using Guasha, a form of treatment used in the practice of TCM, special apparatus is used to attain preventive or therapeutic slimming effects. Not only does the treatment regulate blood circulation and detoxify the body, but it also improves your metabolism and digestion for slimming effects. No need for painful surgery, unnecessary machines or intensive diets!

Why should I choose TCM slimming over other weight loss methods?

TCM slimming focuses on returning your body to a balanced, healthy state – so, you can look forward to not only looking good but also feeling good about yourself!

Coconut milk is the white watery substance that is found inside the coconut. It is very rich in nutrients which keep the electrolyte balance in normal range. Coconut milk is both delicious and nutritious, but it is being more commonly used now not for these benefits alone, but also as a dairy substitute along with soy milk and rice milk. Patients suffering from lactose intolerance usually turn to one of these substitutes to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort that affects them when they consume milk or dairy products. Others are milk substitutes including coconut milk for search of a healthier alternative to milk which carries some saturated fat.

Coconut milk may be nutritious, but it certainly is not a weight loss friendly milk substitute. Coconut milk and its products are considered both high calorie foods and high fat content foods. Fats constitute 20% of coconut milk which is a huge percentage as compared to cow milk which carries 3% fat. Coconut milk contains medium-chain fatty acids and lauric acid which is responsible for raising cholesterol level in the blood. The high cholesterol has a bad impact on the cardiovascular system.

Various studies have showed that each cup of coconut milk contains about 550 calories. High calorie content in addition to the high fat content stimulates weight gain in the body, especially in the adipose tissues. Each cup of coconut milk contains about 52.5 grams of fat, 46.5 grams of which is saturated type of fat. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, coconut milk provides the body with 250% of its daily saturated fat requirements, which is a very large percentage especially if the coconut milk is consumed on regular basis as a dairy substitute.

The saturated fat has been linked to many diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Coconut milk also contains approximately 25 grams of sugar per cup. That large amount of sugar is converted in the body to fat, also increasing the weight. People who regularly consumed coconut milk were found to have raised level of low density lipoproteins (LDL) to about 12 %.
