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.

5 Healthy Ingredients To Incorporate In Your Diet Plan

When you think of diet, you’re probably thinking of basic meals like salads. Not that it’s dull, because salads can be fancied up with ingredients, texture and flavour! The point is, dieting isn’t restricted to just romaine lettuces and cherry tomatoes! Just because you’re eating healthy, doesn’t mean the flavour and variety should be compromised! Adding on, it can be challenging to eat healthily all the time – but that’s because we make healthy eating sound more complicated than it is.

Aside from signing up for weight loss programs online or at the gym, healthy eating also plays a part in weight loss. However, instead of giving up on everything you love, think about healthier substitutes that can ease your dieting process instead. So, we’ll be shedding light on some healthy ingredients that can ensure guilt-free meals, along with how it benefits your health and body!

Shirataki Noodles

Also known as ‘miracle’ noodles, shirataki noodles are derived from the roots of konjac plant. This ingredient can be adapted in to a wide range of dishes!

Shirataki noodles are high in glucomannan which is a type of soluble fibre that can absorb water to form a gel. Glucomannan is also a powerful weight-loss tool as it promotes feelings of fullness, despite being low in calories.

Zucchini Noodles

Zucchini noodles, better known as ‘zoodles’, took the world by storm when it was first introduced. Despite its rapid popularity, this trend is here to stay. Simply use a peeler or spiraliser to cut the zucchini into noodle-like strands. While zoodles can be eaten raw, they also taste great when stir-fried, boiled or drenched in sauce.

Aside from having low carb content and being gluten-free, zucchini contains little calories, as seen by how approximately five cups of zoodles are equivalent to one cup of regular wheat-based noodles! It also increases your vegetable intake, which significantly aids weight loss.

Avocado

Regarded as a form of healthy fat, avocado is the most versatile ingredient! Not only does it taste divine on toast, but it can also be used to replace butter! So, you can still factor some brownies in your diet – just make sure to check online for proper measurement conversions.

Since it contains high fat and fibre content, avocados can help you to feel full for a more extended period – partly because of the fat and fibre that slowly release food into your stomach. Also, the fact that it’s a form of fat might seem rather daunting. But, it might be assuring to know that the monounsaturated fats in avocados burn at a higher rate than regular fat, which causes your body to burn more calories after eating.

Dates

You should think twice about adding sugar to your smoothie. As alternatives, use honey, stevia, or even dates! Deseed a couple of dates and add them in to your smoothie mixture before blending it all up. You’d be surprised by how naturally sweet they are! On top of that, the fibre adds a new depth to your smoothie which will leave you wanting more.

Similar to avocados, dates contain high dietary fibre content which helps you feel fuller longer. Dates also help reduce inflammation and are a rich source of protein! And because it is sweet, it can help to satiate your sweet tooth cravings.

Cauliflower

If you miss indulging in the rich and creamy texture of mashed potatoes, fret not! Cauliflower is a healthier substitute to potatoes which are loaded with carbs. Most importantly, you can still indulge in a hearty bowl of cauliflower mash without compromising the texture of the original dish!

Being low in calories, cauliflower serves as a great replacement to high-calorie foods like rice and flour. It also contains an impressive nutrient profile which includes almost every vitamin and minerals you need to lose weight.

Conclusion

Any food eaten in abundance could be fattening. So, take note of your calorie intake when meal planning; otherwise, it’d be quite counterproductive. When embarking on your weight-loss journey, you can consider signing up for TCM slimming treatments, which is a safe and natural form of slimming technique with zero harmful side effects that might usually come with taking slimming pills and other unhealthy dieting methods.
