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?

Both men and women are suitable for our signature Divine Slim TM program.

Portion Control: How Eating Smart Can Overcome Overeating

Eat right and lose right! Achieving a healthy weight loss isn’t just about cutting calories—it involves adopting a well-rounded approach that incorporates a balanced diet and regular exercise. Rather than resorting to extreme food restrictions, which often result in weight regain, prioritise the practice of portion control. Here are five effective ways to curb your eating habits and prevent overindulgence:

1. Use smaller tableware

Opting for smaller tableware is a simple yet effective strategy to control food intake. Larger plates can deceive us into perceiving smaller portions, leading to unintentional overeating.

Conversely, switching to smaller tableware creates an illusion of more substantial servings, helping to reduce the amount of food on your plate and curbing overindulgence. This simple adjustment promotes mindful eating and supports your efforts to maintain a healthy portion size.

2. Ask for less portion

Feel free to request a smaller serving when dining out. Restaurants usually serve a standard food portion size that can be more than you can consume. Ask for a lesser food portion to prevent overeating and save yourself from all those extra calories!

3. Drink water before a meal

Consider beginning your meal with a glass of water. It helps hydrate your body and makes you feel full, which can prevent overeating. This simple practice can be effective in controlling your appetite and avoiding excessive eating during meals.

4. Don’t eat your snacks out of the bag

Have you ever felt like you are not hungry, but your hands and mouth are itching to chew on something? Mindless snacking can lead to weight gain since we are eating without paying attention to how much we are consuming. That is why we need to cut down on mindless snacking to lose unwanted weight effectively.

Similar to using smaller tableware, snacking straight from the bag can make us eat more without realising it. To better control your snack intake, try transferring them from the large packaging into a smaller container or bowl. This way, you can keep track of the amount you are eating and avoid mindless snacking.

5. Measure your serving size

Take a moment to measure out the suggested serving size and familiarise yourself with its visual representation. This makes it easier to gauge the right amount of food to consume and helps you practice portion control. By mastering the understanding of serving sizes, you can effectively avoid overeating.

Conclusion

Control your food intake and lose weight the right way! Portion control can help you lose the weight you don’t want and sustain it. It is a safer and healthier method compared to cutting out food completely. Since our body requires the nutrients from the food we consume, we need a healthy diet to lose weight effectively.
