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?

4 Reasons You’re Not Losing Weight & How To Overcome Them

4 Reasons You’re Not Losing Weight & How To Overcome Them

Keeping to an exercise regime while watching your diet, in pursuit of weight loss is easier said than done. When the results don’t come as quickly as we had hoped, it’s inevitable for feelings of disappointment to arise. But have you wondered what exactly is keeping you from losing weight? Identifying and addressing these sneaky problems could help ignite your progress. So, here are some possible reasons why you might not be losing weight, as well as tips to overcome them.

1. You lack quality sleep

If you want to lose weight effectively, you’d need to ensure a good night’s rest with at least seven hours of sleep. This is because lack of sleep could make you feel hungry more regularly. Also, when you feel more tired, you’re less likely to have the energy to move around more often, which results in burning lesser calories.

To clock in more hours of good sleep, avoid drinking caffeinated beverages several hours before bedtime. Try to be consistent with the time you sleep and the time you get up each day too, to set a mental routine for your body.

2. You lead a sedentary lifestyle

With most of us still working remotely, our outside activities have reduced significantly. To add on to that, it means that we’re sitting down most of the time. Unfortunately, logging in an hour of exercise only at the end of work, might not be enough to compensate for the time spent being sedentary.

Instead, what you can do is to get moving within your four walls. While working, set a timer as a reminder for you to get moving every hour, for at least two minutes. You can jog on the spot or pace around your house. This way, you’re also getting more walking steps.

3. You’re under too much stress

Feeling too stressed and gaining weight go hand in hand. One of the many reasons is your eating habits. Whenever you’re under too much pressure, you tend to find yourself reaching for “comfort foods” that are often high in sugar, sodium and fat. Even if you don’t let your cravings get the best of you, stress can still stall weight loss through the overproduction of cortisol, which slows down your metabolism.

Check in with yourself throughout the day to take note of how you’re feeling. Dedicate 10 to 20 minutes of mindful medication. Aside from feeding the soul, don’t forget to consume balanced meals that are full of nutrition.

4. You’re experiencing a plateau

As your body gets used to the type of workout you’ve been doing, it’s natural for you to experience a weight loss plateau. By performing the same workout routine over again, your body will end up burning fewer calories than it initially did. And as you step on the scale each day, you’d begin feeling frustrated over how still your weight is.

To tackle this, try varying the type of workouts you do. Don’t just stick to cardio, try brisk walking or cycling a bicycle. Ironically, a lack of calories can also be a root cause. When you’re not consuming enough food, your body will end up conserving calories instead of burning them.

Healthy bodies look different on everyone. As you strive towards your desired weight, take a break from the rigorous workout routines, and try out our TCM slimming treatment instead. It incorporates the use of TCM for safe and natural-looking results without undergoing strict diets. In one single treatment, you’re unlocking a host of benefits such as weight loss, stress relief, improved sleep and many more – making it the best slimming treatment for you.

We’re currently open for business! But as we’re still amid Phase 2, there are safe distancing measures put in place to ensure a safe environment. Give us a call for any enquiries. In the meantime, we look forward to enriching your journey to weight loss.
