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!

Intermittent Fasting 101: What It Is And How It Benefits You

Intermittent Fasting 101: What It Is And How It Benefits You

Most dieting trends feature lots of restrictions as to what you can and cannot eat. To illustrate, keto says no to carbs, and limits protein and sugar intake. Meanwhile, intermittent fasting only dictates when to eat, and not exactly what you should be eating. During intermittent fasting, you will vary between periods of eating and fasting. It could be eating within 8 hours and then fasting for the remaining 16 hours of the day. However, you will still need to watch what you eat during the 8-hour period.

When combined with a healthy lifestyle, intermittent fasting can be particularly useful in aiding weight loss. Here are some tips to make the most out of your fast:

1. Strive to eat healthily: Consume fruits and vegetables, fibre, healthy forms of protein and healthy fats. Avoid sugar, fast foods, processed foods and refined grains.

2. Let your body burn fat between meals: Restrict yourself from snacking! Instead, stay active by signing up for the best weight loss program to build muscle tone.

3. Experiment to see what works for you: See if you prefer your 8-hour time frame to be from 7 am to 3 pm, or 10 am to 6 pm, as long as it’s not in the evening before you go to bed. This is because nighttime is for resting, not eating. Adding on, those who eat late at night tend to consume more calories instead – which contradicts the purpose of intermittent fasting.

Now, let’s move on to how intermittent fasting benefits in your weight-loss journey!

Decreases calorie intake

Restricting your eating window may naturally decrease your calorie intake! Adding on, it may also increase norepinephrine, which is a hormone that boosts your metabolism to promote the burning of calories throughout the day.

Lowers insulin level

As long as you don’t snack between meals, this eating pattern may reduce levels of insulin. The fat cells with stored sugar will then release them as energy! We lose weight when our insulin levels are down – which is the point of intermittent fasting, as it allows the insulin levels to decrease as much as possible, enabling your body to burn off fat.

Promotes heart health

In our weight loss journey, attaining a healthy body mass index (BMI) is one of the main goals aside from achieving your dream body. Intermittent fasting has been shown to improve blood pressure, cholesterol, inflammation and blood sugar levels which overall, improves heart health. In turn, it also reduces the risk of heart-related diseases.

Conclusion

There are many other health benefits to intermittent fasting, but if you want to see results in weight loss or overall health, it all comes down to nutrition and staying well-hydrated. Sometimes, certain diets won’t work for you, but you won’t know unless you try. Additionally, TCM slimming is also a great way to lose weight. Through the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it serves as an all-natural slimming treatment meant to improve your health and metabolism.
