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.

5 Weight Loss Tips That Are Scientifically Proven To Work

5 Weight Loss Tips That Are Scientifically Proven To Work

Nowadays, you can find many ways to lose weight on the internet. Just with a click of a button, you will be able to find countless diet plans, supplements or hacks to lose weight. But – not everything you read online is factual.

Here we have 5 effective weight loss tips that have been tested and proven!

1. Have an efficient amount of sleep

Getting enough sleep is an important factor when it comes to weight loss. When your body doesn’t get enough sleep, you are running on low energy and will feel lethargic. Studies have shown that there is an increase in late-night snacking and you will tend to eat foods that are high in carbohydrate, calories and fats.

Being fatigue will also decrease your chances of getting any form of exercise because you will be less motivated. It is recommended to get at least 7-9 hours of sleep if you are trying to lose weight.

2. Increase your water intake

Water suppresses your appetite as it fills up your stomach and helps you burn calories. Studies have shown that drinking more water has a significant influence on the reduction in weight loss, body mass index (BMI) and body fat. An extra tip – cold water will give you more impressive results as your body uses extra calories to warm the water up to body temperature!

3. Drink some green tea

This is different from the sweetened drinks you get from your convenient stores! Green tea is one of the healthiest drinks, but adding sugar in them would lead to more unnecessary calories! Green tea contains caffeine and catechin (an antioxidant) which have been found to help speed up metabolism, thus having a small but positive impact on weight loss. So if you’re limiting yourself to sugary drinks but have gotten bored of just drinking water, try having some green tea!

4. Manage your stress levels

When you are stressed, your body releases a hormone called cortisol which causes your blood pressure to rise. This will lead to an increase in your appetite and cravings for sugary food, causing you to overeat or eat unhealthily. Now you know why you always crave for ‘comfort food’ when stressed! So don’t forget to destress and take a breather when needed! Here are some ways you can reduce stress levels:

• Yoga
• Meditation
• Exercising
• Doing the things you love
• Breathing techniques

5. Take Spicy food

Numerous studies indicate that spices like cumin, capsicum and peppers can raise your metabolic rate while slowing down your appetite. Spicy food can help decrease caloric intake, reduce body fat tissues, and have been shown to fight obesity. But remember not to go overboard!

Conclusion

There is no short-cut when it comes to losing weight. Although the above suggestions made have all been scientifically proven to work, a healthy diet and regular exercise are important too.
