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!

Consider Intermittent Fasting

Diets, exercise and fasting, are some of the most popular results on the Internet pages on how to lose weight. You may find an overwhelming amount of information, making it difficult to choose a particular weight loss method or slimming treatment. Whatever you decide, you will see that there are many methods recommended in each of those categories. Out of the more traditional fasting methods, intermittent fasting is gaining ground.

What is Intermittent Fasting?

Intermittent fasting involves having a scheduled time to eat and another time to fast. When you begin intermittent fasting, you eat for a specified period and fast before and after. In this type of fasting, you do not eat anything for a minimum of 16 hours. However, the time you go on fast varies based on the kind of fasting you choose.

In 5:2 diets, you eat well for five days and fast or eat less for two days every week. You can go on juice diet or have water only on fasting days. In between the days of fasting/dieting, ensure that you leave at least two-day gap. Studies show that fasting with only water consumption provides excellent weight loss benefits.

How Does Intermittent Fasting Help in Weight Loss

When you follow intermittent fasting, you commit yourself to an eating pattern. When you fast for a specified number of hours after eating, your body uses the calories you had consumed before your fasting session. As you fast, the toxins are cleansed, and you enjoy the benefits of detoxification. Thus, you end up feeling energised while slowly losing weight in the process.

When you fast, your weekly calorie intake is reduced as you skip a few frequent meals. Not only is your calorie intake reduced leading to weight loss, but your stored fat is also depleted as your body uses it when you fast.

Why is Intermittent Fasting Becoming More Popular?

The obvious reason is that it is a highly effective way of losing weight. Apart from weight loss, it is a straightforward type of fasting that can be easily adhered to. There are no strict dos and don’ts regarding your intake. You need not worry about counting the calories you consume. You can eat your regular meal during the days you do not fast.

It does not require you to spend considerable time cooking your meals. Since you are not going to eat as regularly as you normally would, your work in the kitchen will be reduced.

Best Choice of Food on Fasting Days

If you would prefer to have something light on the days of fasting instead of going ‘all juice’ or ‘all water’, here are some suggestions to help you get started.

Have a banana or any fruit that does not make you feel full. Drink some unsweetened or herbal tea. Have vegetable soup for lunch and eat a light dinner with vegetables.

Other than weight loss benefits, you enjoy great health benefits if you go on an intermittent fast. Try it out to feel the difference. After all, how often do you get to eat what you want during a “diet” and still enjoy the results?
