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.

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!

5 Important Factors For A Successful Weight Loss Journey

5 Important Factors For A Successful Weight Loss Journey

Unfortunately, reaching your weight loss goal isn’t always the reality once you’ve reached the end of your weight loss journey. It’s a journey that’s full rewarding up and frustrating downs; and at times, you’d be tempted to go on a crash diet for the ‘easy’ results. However, science and personal anecdotes have denounced this method as not only will you regain back the weight you’ve worked hard to lose, but it also changes the entire physiological composition of your body, including increasing metabolic and sex hormones.

If you wish to lose weight in a safer and lasting manner, you can’t run away from making gradual and permanent lifestyle changes that are beneficial to your wellbeing. Here are 5 vital factors to help you start losing weight successfully in a healthy and sustainable manner.

1. Eat clean

It’s no secret that healthy meals make up the foundation of your weight loss efforts. Depending on the diet of your choice, you’ll need to alter your current diet accordingly. For instance, you’ll want to abandon all processed sugar, processed foods, grains and dairy if you’re opting to incorporate the Paleo diet. If you’re going for the ketogenic diet, your diet will involve reducing your carbohydrate intake whilst increasing your fat intake.

Of course, not every diet can give you your desired results. You’ll need to figure out which diet works best for you and your body. At the end of the day, ensure that you don’t neglect the essentials required for bodily functions. Besides, also take note of your portion and cut down if you exceed your maximum calorie intake for the day.

2. Exercise regularly

A weightloss journey is not complete without any physical activity to burn the calories stored in your body. This coupled with the decrease in the number of calories you eat, your body will end up in a calorie deficit, resulting in weight loss.

If engaging in a full workout sounds intimidating, you can begin by doing light exercise such as taking on long walks or even doing your daily household chores! Refrain from being inactive at all times, and increase your exercise levels gradually.

3. Drink up

There have been studies that support the theory that drinking water is the fundamental keys to losing weight. Apart from being a natural appetite suppressant, drinking water also promotes the thermogenic state, which increases the rate of your metabolism. This means your body’s resting energy expenditure also increases, thus you’ll burn more calories even whilst you’re resting. More importantly, the burning of fat cannot be done without water. The metabolising of fat requires hydrolysis, whereby water molecules will interact with fats to create glycerol and fatty acids.

On the flip side, numerous drinks people sip on regularly like fruit juice, soda and energy can result in weight gain and therefore, sticking to water will be beneficial.

4. Get sufficient sleep

Apart from clocking a full 8 hours of interrupted sleep, you’ll want to ensure that your circadian rhythm is not disturbed either. The circadian rhythm refers to the 24-hour body clock, which helps control your daily schedule for sleep and wakefulness. Changes to the circadian clock are associated with temporal alterations in eating patterns and increased weight gain.

5. Stress less

High levels of stress have a positive correlation to gaining weight for a few reasons. High levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, will cause a surge in insulin levels. As a result, your blood sugar drops, and you’ll naturally crave sugary, fatty foods. Moreover, to abate the stress, you may also turn into indulging in foods, ultimately increasing your portions.

Consider other methods to reduce your stress by exercising or confiding in your loved ones in stressful situations.
