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! Although our weight loss program will help you achieve results, it is important to stay committed to investing in your overall health by paying close attention to your diet and exercise, both during the treatment and post-treatment. Our weight loss treatments are conducted by trained staff that does most of the work for you, so you can look forward to a relaxing treatment.

Who can benefit from TCM slimming treatment?

Both men and women are suitable for our signature Divine Slim TM program.

Staying Home? Here’s How To Keep Healthy And Active

Staying Home? Here’s How To Keep Healthy And Active

June 23, 2020

As we practise safe distancing by staying at home due to COVID-19, we’re bound to get in a slump. If you’re working from home, then you’d find yourself sitting with your eyes glued to the digital screen for at least 8 hours. As we focus on getting work done, we fall into a monotonous routine of mindless eating, working, sleeping – and repeat.

Staying at home for a long time can be rather challenging for remaining physically active. A sedentary behaviour paired with unhealthy eating can be harmful to your health and wellbeing, such as leading to weight gain. While self-isolating, let’s not neglect our physical and mental health as well. As we stay put, here’s how to keep healthy and active!

Sit less

Take small breaks of sitting in your desk, at least every 20 to 30 minutes. Take a walk around your house or play with your pet. Or, you could perform two tasks at once by sweeping or mopping the house! Not only will that get you up on your feet and moving, but you’ll also spend your breaks productively. Afterwards, you can continue working in a conducive environment.

Stick to an exercise regime

At home, there are many forms of exercises we can do to keep physically active. One of them is callisthenics, which is a form of exercise that utilise your body weight to train. It’s perfect for doing at home, as you can do exercises such as sit-ups, squats and planks. You could even attempt some cardio workouts like running in place and jumping jacks. With many businesses going online, you could also sign up for the best weight loss program in Singapore offered by gyms or slimming centres, for an exercise routine or diet plan for you to stick to. To illustrate, some gym coaches guide you through video sharing platforms like Zoom! And don’t forget to protect your feet from blisters – put on a pair of non-slip socks or clean shoes.

Take a moment to breathe

Yoga is a great way to stay active and flexible. When we’re too overwhelmed with all the events that are going on, take a deep breath as you focus on keeping yourself centred. Additionally, yoga helps to manage back pain on top of relieving stress and anxiety! With the internet, you could go online and search up for yoga channels that you can follow.

An alternative to yoga is putting your thoughts on paper. There’s an activity called ‘morning pages’, where you write anything on your mind for up to three pages before you start your day. This is a helpful exercise as it allows you to unload instead of keeping your thoughts bottled up.

Plan your meals

With trends like dalgona coffee and banana bread brewing up in the kitchen, everyone seems to be more active in preparing their own meals. However, what you eat influences your state of health and mind. If you exercise but eat unhealthily, then it may not have that much effect on your health. By planning your meals, you can aim to have nutritionally well-balanced meals throughout your week. You also save time from frantically thinking of what to cook! However, we highly recommend preparing a grocery list to keep your trip to the supermarket short.

Conclusion

Just because we’re home, it doesn’t mean that our physical activities or healthy eating should come to a halt. This is the time for us to stay healthy so that our internal systems would be healthy and strong! If you keep eating unhealthily without much movement, then it’s bound to take a toll on your mental health too. The journey to losing weight is both extrinsically and intrinsically rewarding. Once everything soothes down, you could even consider going for TCM slimming treatments, available at Slim Couture, which not only focuses on trimming unwanted fat, but also prioritises other factors like improved sleep and stress relief, that influence your health.
