THE NATURAL, SAFE & EFFECTIVE WAY TO BURN BELLY FAT
Do weight-loss treatments and nutrition-based products lead to significant, sustainable weight loss?
The jury is still out on that question.
Even makers of popular slimming devices such as those that employ vibration and radio frequency acknowledge that losing weight comes down to diet and exercise.
But they are still off the mark!
There is something MORE fundamental than diet and exercise.
A FUNDAMENTAL CONDITION must be met before any diet, exercise or a host of novel slimming methods are to help you shed that extra pounds or inches off.
And this fundamental condition is also the TRUTH about weight loss!
If you desire to lose weight, you have to be well first!
By that, I do not mean you are sick in a medical sense .....
Rather, imagine your body has – over the years of wear and tear – become sluggish in the way it goes about its daily work internally.
Your answer to this problem is simple.
Restore your body back to optimum health and wellness. It will then remember how to lose weight for you naturally and spontaneously.
And that’s exactly what Quantum Wellness TCM (see preferred spas at right) does as I found out in my search for a credible weight loss review.
Now, I have actually heard about her and her effective use of TCM accupoint-treatment for fat loss. However, for all the hype surrounding weight loss and slimming, I couldn't help thinking TCM approach is just another fad.
What suddenly aroused my interest was the recent news of two freak accidents. One person died from liposuction treatment in a medical clinic; another had her belly burned for slimming treatment in a spa.
I decided to find out for myself if TCM is a better alternative - natural, safe and effective - solution for burning belly fat or love spindles.
Given the month long stay I had in Phuket, I felt I could do with shedding inches off my belly.
Quantum Weight Loss
Her name is Jasmine. She co-owns Asian Health International in Singapore.
Through the grapevine, I had learned rave reviews of her reputation as the certified trainer for Quantum Wellness TCM (originally known as Quantum Weight Loss TCM). She trains spas and salons in Asia.
Quantum Weight Loss applies TCM-based trigger-point procedure with proprietary herbal massage formula. When properly done, they are key to burning belly fat or overall weight reduction.
As I have come to learn, she was privileged to learn from her TCM physician uncle who created the proprietary herbal formula that is used in massaging the belly.
The secret, as Jasmine shared with me, lies in following the correct sequential acupoint steps and in using the herbal application.
Noting my skepticism upon my visit, Jasmine took me through the fundamental concept of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)and chinese healing herbs. She explained to me about how our own internal energy system can be stimulated to burn fats.
Since love spindles or belly fat was what I specifically came for, she took me through a acupuncture chart tour of those specific energy lines called meridians.
Of significance are those acupoint points that treat abdominal or stomach problems such as gas, gastritis and belly aches.
She also shared with me those acupoints on our limbs - the pain or ache signals that point to weak stomach qi or stomach energy.
Jasmine explains that TCM acupoint finger pressure helps curb hunger pangs and increase one's metabolism by regulating stomach and spleen functions.
Now, when complemented with her proprietary herbal formulation, the effect on burning belly fat can be enhanced further.
The Quantum Weight Loss Process
Before I was asked to lie face up on the massage bed, Jasmine took my weight.
Then clad with only a pair of shorts, Jasmine began to apply the special herbal oil formulation.
She began to apply acupressure along those main energy lines together with sweeping massage strokes.
Each time, I was asked to inhale and exhale fully with each successive trigger-point pressure. This went on for some 30 minutes.
Next she applied another type of herbal formulation on my belly.
I noted this time, there is a certain characteristic way she applied the herbs. It is as if the concentric way she applied the herbs seem to align with some energy pathway.
I tried to suss out from her the contents in the herbal formulation. In fact, I had actually sought to photograph the entire procedure.
However, due to the proprietary nature of the acupoint technique and herbal formulation, Jasmine relented to sharing only some photos.
I can let you in on this though: The entire acupoint massage was indeed elaborate; the heat treatment felt penetrative and the herbal extracts looked richly yellowish.
The whole session lasted 90 minutes. After the session, Jasmine took my weight again.
I could not help being utterly amazed!
Jasmine tempered my excitement by sharing with me that not everyone shed as much as I had in one single session. Each person is different. And so I was dissuaded from revealing the pounds shed so as not to raise unreasonable expectations.
She provided the advice that a series of sessions coupled with eating properly would be the way to healthy weight loss.
More importantly, she shared that our stomach organ is often the brewing ground for a number of ailments suffered throughout the body. This arises from energy blockages along the stomach meridian points.
Thus, while the Quantum Weight Loss Program has been designed to help with burning belly fat, it actually benefits holistically every part of the body.
The reason is once our energy channels have been unblocked and allowed to flow freely, physical, mental and emotional well-being ensues.
