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.

4 Lifestyle Changes You Can Make To Help You Lose Weight

4 Lifestyle Changes You Can Make To Help You Lose Weight

To lose weight within the shortest time, most people resort to intense short-term eating plans, also known as crash diets. These diets are inappropriate for those with a history of eating disorders because of their restrictive nature. Furthermore, your weight is likely to rebound after you’ve finished the program, making these diets unhealthy, ineffective and unsustainable in the long-run.

What you’re losing when following such eating plans, is water weight, not body fat. Drastic weight loss in such a short period lowers your insulin level, flushing out glycogen which is stored carbs which hold three times their weight in water. Reduced insulin leads to your kidney shedding excess sodium, therefore resulting in a drop of water retention.

Evidently, following such diets will cause detrimental and adverse effects. Instead, here are 4 ways you can make changes in your lifestyle that can help you to lose weight in a healthy manner.

1. Avoid consuming carbs and more lean proteins

Research has proven that you’ll definitely lose several kilograms just by simply following a low-carb diet. Apart from being effective, this also improves your health. Don’t forget to eat plenty of protein as they can further reduce your appetite while boosting your metabolism at the same time. At the same time, increase your intake of lean meats, egg and fish! Try to eliminate starchy carbs and sugars for the next few days and replace them with low carb vegetables.

2. Opt for whole foods and shun processed junk foods

Eat a simple diet on whole foods which allows you to lose weight quickly. As these meals tend to be filling, it’s easier to consume lesser calories without feeling hungry. Aim to consume mostly single-ingredient whole foods and avoid foods that are highly processed. Your health can stand to benefit from eating low carb vegetables and lean proteins.

3. Try high-intensity interval training and lift weights

Exercise is proven to be one of the best and most effective ways to burn fat and at the same time, improve your appearance. A prominent example of resistance training is weight lifting, which results in a sharp decline in weight. Furthermore, lifting weights can protect your metabolism and hormone levels. High-intensity interval training, HIIT, is another efficient method. Research has shown that 5 to 10 minutes of HIIT daily can lead to more significant health benefits and weight loss, which are five times more effective than regular exercises.

4. Increase your daily activity

How active you are throughout the day, excluding exercising, also plays a vital role in weight loss and obesity. For instance, there is a huge difference of 1,000 calories daily between a desk job and manual job, which also equates to 90 to 120 minutes of HIIT. From today, make simple lifestyle changes like taking the stairs, going for walks, standing more, or even cleaning the house.
