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.

5 Small Lifestyle Habits To Help You Lose Weight Easily

5 Small Lifestyle Habits To Help You Lose Weight Easily

Many times, people think that a successful journey to weight loss requires you to take up extreme measures such as dieting or excessive exercise. Whilst such methods may bear results in the first few weeks, these results wouldn’t last. Even worse, such extreme methods will make a mess out of your physiology and it’ll only backfire – either through more weight gain or ailments.

Fortunately, extreme methods aren’t the only way to go about reaching your goals (nor are they encouraged). If you wish to partake in sustainable and healthy weight loss that offers long-lasting and safe results, start by incorporating small lifestyle changes! These small changes will accumulate over time and you can revel in excellent weight loss results!

So instead of torturing your body by following crash diets which are bound to fail over time, try these 5 small lifestyle tips for weight loss and be healthier overall.

1. Eat slowly

You may be wondering: what is the connection between eating slowly and weight loss? Surprisingly, the speed in which you choose to eat with will influence your weight gain. Eating slowly actually helps to increase the levels of gut hormones which are responsible for feeling full. It usually will take 20 minutes before your brain can register that your body is full, giving your body signals to decrease appetite. This will naturally help you reduce your calorie intake, which will slowly accumulate into significant weight loss.

2. Drink water all the time

More often than not, many mistake dehydration for hunger. This will lead to snacking and eating, when all your body really wants is to be hydrated. If you’re not a fan of regular ole plain water, you can simply add fresh fruits such as lemon, blueberries or cucumber to give it a subtle flavour.

3. Focus on eating

In this day and age, our friends and family aren’t the only ones to accompany us when we eat. We also have media entertainment such as Netflix shows, Youtube videos and the like to keep us visually occupied as we eat.

However, this act of multitasking can unwittingly prompt you to eat more. As we’ve previously mentioned, the brain takes 20 minutes to start sending out “I’m full” signals to turn off your appetite. When you’re processing other stimulation, your brain won’t process the amount of food you’re eating and will take longer to send out the same signals. This may lead to overeating. Apart from letting you consume more subconsciously, distracted eating also compels you to eat more than required later in the day.

4. Get sufficient sleep

Indeed, clocking sufficient sleep every night and keeping to a great sleep schedule can be extremely tough, but it’s a simple way to encourage and promote weight loss. Sleep keeps your appetite hormones in check. Without an adequate amount of sleep, these hormone levels will become unbalanced, leading to increased hunger and appetite. As such, you should aim for seven to nine hours of sleep every night.

5. Start a food journal

Keeping a food journal, whilst simple in concept, can wield surprisingly excellent benefits! Not only will you have a better understanding of the things you eat on a daily, but you will also subconsciously be more intentional with the things that you put in your mouth. Jotting down a detailed list of your daily dietary habits will help you identify any bad ones for necessary tweaking. Track both your food and beverage intake, and see if you’re unwittingly taking in additional calories!

Remember, weight loss is a marathon and not a sprint.

The 5 small lifestyle changes above can lead to significant results, but above everything, keep in mind that losing weight healthily involves trial and error. So, learn to be good to your body and go easy on it!
