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!

Eating Home Cooked Meals for Weight Loss

Eating Home Cooked Meals for Weight Loss

Home cooked meals are the best thing that you can add into your weight loss program due to how doing so can help you to lose weight. A research found that eating home cooked meals resulted in fewer calories consumed as compared to eating out at restaurants. Also, those that eat home cooked meals were also found to have consumed fewer calories when they do eat out. However, it is important to note that there are a variety of cooking methods that can be used depending on the food in question. Within those, there are unhealthier cooking methods that should be avoided if you intend to lose weight.

Unhealthy cooking methods

The way we cook our food can play a significant role in our diet because if a meal is prepared in the right way, it can increase our intake of valuable nutrients and vitamins. Cooking at a very high temperature for a long time will usually destroy most of the essential vitamins and nutrients in the food that your body needs. During a diet, there will be drastic changes in your eating habit, and that will result in an increased need for vitamins and nutrients. Deep-frying food is the unhealthiest way of preparing your food, due to the significant amount of oil that is usually used.

Healthy cooking methods

Steaming is one of the best ways of making a home cooked meal as healthy as possible. You can use this technique while following a Mediterranean diet plan because chicken and fish are delicious when cooked that way. Additionally, boiling your vegetables for salads is a great way to make your food healthier. However, you should try to avoid eating mashed potatoes or potatoes of any kind, because they have a high level of starch which will inhibit your weight loss.

What you should eat

Try recipes that include vegetables that are rich in vitamins, like carrots. Do you know that carrots have more vitamin C than every other fruit or vegetable? If you want to receive all the benefits you can get from vegetables, try to eat lots of salads. Salads are a great way of incorporating more vegetables into your diet. For those that want to eat salads as a more filling meal, you can also add some carbohydrates and protein like pasta and grilled salmon respectively.
