There are valid reasons why losing those additional kilos might be challenging for you. However, armed with accurate information about weight loss, you can surmount these hurdles and successfully achieve your goals - in 90 Days!
1. Your Body's Natural Balance:
When you embark on a weight loss journey, you're not just battling cravings; your body's hormones are also working against you. Scientific studies reveal that weight loss decreases leptin, the fullness signal, while increasing ghrelin, the hunger stimulant. This hormonal imbalance persists post-weight loss, making maintenance challenging. Rapid calorie cuts can slow your metabolism, emphasising the importance of gradual changes and a balanced approach, as recommended in Chinese medicine.
2. No Quick Fixes:
Rapid weight loss solutions may seem tempting, but there's no magic bullet. Prescription drugs and extreme diets often have undesirable side effects and can harm your long-term efforts. Chinese medicine advocates patience and a steady pace. Aim for 0.5 - 1 kilo per week, aligning with the principles of balance and harmony.
3. Exercise Alone Isn't Enough:
You need to balance the holy trinity of weight loss:
1- Energy Input (diet)
2- Energy Output (exercise)
3- Energy Management (acupuncture and herbal medicine)
While exercise aids weight loss, it's not a standalone solution. The combination of mindful eating, suitable exercise and natural therapy is key. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine helps the ship run properly, emphasising the importance of balancing energy flow through both lifestyle and movement.
4. Doubtful Diet Supplements:
Pills promising metabolic miracles lack substantial evidence. Instead, focus on proven strategies like mindful eating and regular exercise, aligning with Chinese medicine's emphasis on natural approaches. And it is easy. Millions of people across the globe in different time zones are able to achieve their weight loss goals - just by eating normal foods!
5. Fad Diets Fail in the Long Run:
Miracle diets may promise quick results, but Chinese medicine warns against extreme dietary changes. Such diets work briefly through calorie restriction but often lead to a return to old eating habits. Sustainable weight loss aligns with the holistic principles of Chinese medicine, promoting balance and moderation.
6. Individualised Diets:
Recognise that one diet doesn't fit all. Chinese medicine emphasises individual differences, considering factors like metabolism, activity level, and preferences. Tailor your diet to your unique needs, what your body likes and rejects, incorporating foods you enjoy to maintain a sense of balance and satisfaction.
7. Balancing Cardio and Strength Training:
Chinese medicine values a balanced approach, reflected in the importance of both aerobic exercise and strength training. Combining cardiovascular activities with muscle-strengthening exercises promotes overall well-being and aligns with Chinese medicine's holistic principles.
8. Differences in Caloric Needs:
Acknowledge biological differences in weight loss. Men can naturally consume more calories due to factors like muscle mass and testosterone levels. Understanding these disparities can help women set realistic goals and maintain a balanced lifestyle, in line with the holistic approach of Chinese medicine.
9. Lifestyle Transformation, Not a Diet: *bonus tips*
Chinese medicine advocates the importance of long-term changes. Instead of viewing it as a temporary diet, consider weight loss as a lifestyle transformation - but if you incorporate all the below tips, you’ll start losing weight in no time. Sustainable weight management involves consistently making 5 changes, aligning with the holistic philosophy of Chinese medicine.
