hi guys,
i have been to slimming centre and trust me, a lot has to do with discipline with your diet and of course exercise. Those slimming treatments are more like additional program to help lose those weights but in my 6 months of slimming session, i gave up after 2 months cos a lot of my effort went to exercise and strict dieting. I manage to lost from over 20kg.
but then hah... after knowing my hubby, i put on back everything... cos happily in love so ate a lot.. now i decide to put to acupunture at aimin cos i have a colleague who lost a lot over 4 months period which amazes me.
i am having my ad in apr 2005 and PS in nov 2004. hope to lose some weight and at least over on my huge arms. to me, its easier to start off with a program that can aid you on top of your normal exercise and diet. i have initially went to gym to workout but after a few months, the passion dies down and i am too lazy to exercise. so my word of advice to all ladies who want to lose weight, try something easy and slowly becos once the passion dies, you have no desire to do anything... its all in the mind.
hope this helps

hi cheryl,
what i meant was after 2 months of treatments at the slimming centre, i only lost 3 kg so i forego my whole package, went on a strict diet on my own and engage a personal trainer to lose weight. I think its also better cos a personal trainer will provide you with the right techniques.
PS means photoshoot and AD is chinese wedding dinner (hope i din confuse you
). I think i may have confuse a lot of ppl out there reading my msg. In summary, what i am trying to say is slimming centre is effective only to certain degree, and they are more like starters, which can be helpful to those overweighters. However, in long term, exercising and right diet still is the way to get results.
But there is hope for those who don't like exercising much and yet like to eat good food - that is, using mesotherapy. But of course, it is very expensive but if you have the money, why deprive yourself of such luxury? I wish i have the $ to do this too.... after all, women are vain creatures lah..

cheryl,
btw, my diet is no carbo at all... that means to say that there's no bread, rice, noodle whatever that consist of carbo. i drink a lot of veggie soup. dinner eat a palm size of white meat, eat a fruit (no banana, durian and mango) and some veggie soup again to go with it. It really depends on you and your health condition since some of us have gastric. so have to be careful to plan your meals.

hey people... i just went to aimin today... tried the "sample" pricks from the physician to see whether i can take the pain and the uncomfortness of the needles. find it quite alright for me. at first tot it would be really uncomfortable but when i tried... wasnt that bad ... dun feel pain.. just like ant's bite... a tiny prick only... so people out there if are worried about the pain... its okay... dun worry too much about it. i'll be starting the treatment in september... cos they say cant do the treatment when period's here.. and my "aunties" about to visit me... so doc say best would be after my period... cos first 3 treatment has to be consecutive. really looking forward for my success.. now weighing 66.4kg.... 1.65m... hope can g down to 52-54kg...

Hi dreamzzz,
I nv knw when one's her period coming cant do acupuncture. I m curious 2 knw, did they ask u, r u gtg 2 have yr period or is yr period coming? btw,y 1st 3 treatments nd 2 b consecutive? I think 52-54kg is nt ideal yet...muz loset wt lesser than d range...nvm,u lost yr wt first den consider later...happy slimming!!!

ohh..... they asked to check my height and weight, then asked me to go into the physician's room for consultation... she just ask me whether my period's coming soon. then say that if my period is coming soon, better not do first... only start after finished my period cos since the first 3 treatments have to be consecutive then are worried that, let's say if i do the first treatment then noticed that my period has arrived during the 2nd treatment, then it would have affect the proceeding of the 2nd treatment since it cant be done during menstration period timing, and resutls wun be that good also la.. as it will affect our body systems of certain things... dunno.....1st three treatment has to be consecutive but they say that's part of the treatment.
As for the weight, they say that my ideal weight would be 55kg actually... cos i have a very big build and bones... say my bones have already weighed very much of me, if i were to go down to 50kg, i will look very skinny until like very unhealthy... but i was hoping to go down as much la... as long as i dun look fat can already.... and considering my height, think 52-54kg is quite alright fer me already... if by then i see that i'm still too fat... maybe i'll consider to go down more.

Mayb aft u've gone 4 d Rx, share wiz me abt yr diet plan....thx alot!
I have just went to the aimin today. A total of 18 needles were stucked in me for half an hour - 12 on my tummy and the rest on my thighs and legs. the uncomfortness of the needles on my legs were more intense than those on my tummy and abdomen. The moment the needles were stucked in, there's this one shot of "tingyness and immediate electric shocking kind of feeling" rushing through the whole of the legs. as for the tummy and abdomen part, i'm still quite okie with it... just tot that the legs part was really bad.
anywae the doc suggested that i follow her diet which is: breakfast - 2 egg whites or one whole egg with unsweetened coffe or tea or unsweetened soya bean milk; lunch be one palm sized meat w/o skin and one servings of fruits; dinner only purely vegetables, with no fruits or any meat. Guess its really a very difficult diet to follow consider i have to work and all. well... i'll just have to try my best.
pls remember that not all fruits can be eaten and some of them includes like durian, longans, rambutans, bananas, apple, mangos, grapes. fruits that can be eaten are only strawberries, kiwi, watermelons, guava, grapefruits, dragonfruit, papaya, starfruits, orange... as for vege cannot eat corn.. potatoes, yam,lotus, chestnuts...

Hi dreamzz,
i undstd wad u mean. As u r working, u believe u cant possibly stick 2 dis kind of diet. I think mayb u can discuss dis 2 yr physician& re-organize yr tingz. Btw,thks for yr sharing. Btw,i oso believe u can slim down alot 4 dis kind of diet.
Nw,i found out,in yr diet,there's actually no carbo at all. y? Do u knw? Hw huh? Wow! There r quite a no of fruits dat u cant take. I am curious 2 ask, hw cum cant take apple&grapes? As wad i knw, all cant eat except apple& grapes. Juz curious. Nd 2 ask u. Ani ideas? Explanation?
4 veggies, potatoes,yam, sweet potatoes ba cant eat coz all r high in starchy carbo. I m still in d midst of dilemma whether 2 eat these or not. Coz i can say that starchy carbo can oso b gd as it'll make u feel full& delay yr eating time so wont eat too much. In such a way, if eat too much starch'll result in fat. Juz as if excess protein, will oso result in fat.
Some idea that one cant eat corn coz carbo. 4 lotus& chestnut, i m nt too sure. Can explain?
1 palm size of meat counted as d size of our whole hand or juz d hand w/o fingers? Sorry...quite a silly qn...haha...
sorry...btw,did u ask them if u feel hungry in btw lunch& dinner,wad to do,wad cd u eat?

Thanks for sharing your experience. The diet plan doesnt sound practical. It is absurd. Just like what Cheryl has pointed out - what if one feel hungry between meals? A dinner with only vegetable would definitely make me insomnia due to hunger. Perhap u should inquire if such a menu is recommended by a certified nutritionist.
Cherly
I think apple n grapes r high in sugar , though not very sure. Lotus is definitely a source of carbo.

Northgal,
Apple& grapes r high in sugar? Is it? If it's like dis,papaya& other fruits shd b high in sugar as well? I did heard frm my sist dat apple's nt a gd fruit. Lotus a carbo? y u wd define dat? I tot lotus is a veggie.
Dreamzz,

Northgal is right in saying that grapes and apples are high in sugar. I have read this info from the Her World Body magazine Vol.2. Lotus' carbo content can go as much as 65% (read from other fitness mag also).
This diet is indeed given by a nutritionist. As for during the lunch, the amount of vege that you can take is unlimited quantity. so i guess during lunch, try to eat more vege to fill urself up. If really still feel hunger pang during breaks, can take fruits like watermelon cos they consist of alot of water, therefore will easily have a sense of fullness.
I have asked them about this strict diet also as in, since i'm working, i cant possibly follow it really that closely. so she suggested that for lunch, we can eat western food like chicken chop but strictly w/o the fries and baked beans. the salad that comes together with it is fine. One can also order just vege and meat from the CHAP CHAI* (dialect) stall without the rice or any gravy. or maybe can eat dumpling soup, fishball soup or fish soup or even yong tau foo. As long as one takes more soupy stuffs (cos they contain much lesser oils and fats), should be no problem.
As for your question to why no carbo, is because there is two different phase in this whole treatment, the first treatment is focusing on weight reduction by using diet similar to Atkins' Diet (no carbo). Then once you have reached your target weight, they will do the second phase call "stablisation phase"(a period where you start to reintroduce the carbos back to your diet but at the same time stop and prevent one putting the weight back). Of cos the introduction of carbos back to diet have to be in a slow pace. you cant expect a drastic change in your diet and then hoping that your weight still maintains. A diet without the carbos will definitely reduce one's weight. You now might be thinking that :if it's really the case, i can simply well just get myself into the no-carbo-diet, i can also lose weight. so y i still need to go for the needles-pokin treatment. But well, the most important phase of the treatment isnt really on the weight reducing phase. Its actually the weight stablising phase that's the most important one. Everyone can reduce weight by themselves using one way of another, but not many can keep the weight off. So having the stablising phase is the main purpose of the whole treatment.(of course the weight reduction phase treatment also curbs your appetite very much such that it stops you from getting in too much food-although they might be just vege and fruits) *remember, as long as it's fruits, they contain calories*
as for the palm sized meat, i'm not too sure too. But i guess as long as you are eating a 1 serving size then it shouldnt really be a problem.
Anywae i just went for my 2nd treatment today. Before i proceed on to the second treatment, they ask me to weigh myself. I actually dropped 1.1kg. it was unbelievable. I mean its only been a session and i already dropped a kg. I hope that i will see results tml since i'm going for the third treatment.

Hi Cheryl,
intially i was weighing 66.9kg at 1.65m. and yah.. i'm on the plumper side or to say its on the heavy side actually... haa. i do feel abit hungry especially in the night cos i tend to sleep late at around 2-3am. so will usually feel the hunger pang at around 12-1am after i ate the dinner at around 5-7pm. wat i do? i just have to "tahan" ... wat to do. I mean i'm already about to sleep already, shouldnt even be eating fruits. But as for the day time, no hanger pangs at all. cos i try to force myself to eat more vege especially during the afternoon time to fill myself up. I haven ordered western food till now yet cos my diet only started on Sun morning so i do not tell the uncle with or w/o the fries(but if you do order, maybe yu can give the fries to your friend or just dun eat). they say its chicken chop means just grilled chicken with the sauce(but i think better dun eat with the sauce cos might have hidden sugar), not the deep fried kind. Baked beans are actually considered kidney beans which are high in carbo also. As for the salad, i meant it as coleslaw actually. Take note, NO DEEP FRIED & OILY FOOD, so means no fish and chip nor chicken cutlet, only can eat like grilled fish, chicken chop etc.
i cant really say whether the treatment helps but i think the needles does help me to control the internal body system to work better cos i never tried losing 1kg in a day before even when i starve myself for 1 whole day. I guess the treatment might be the reason thatit help me lose that 1.1kg even though the diet do help abit i guess. I paid $1,795 for 30 sessions (minimum). There's no other treatments except they keep poking needles into your body - no gel, no herbs, no pills, no massage, no toning or watsoever. For the toning,i think would have to go exercise to tone up oneself. If for example according to my weight and height, the person told me that i can easily reach my target of 53-54kg in the whole 30session. Because as i have mentioned earlier on, the whole treatment are separated into 2 different phase: (1)weight reduction; (2) weight stablization). There has to be a minimum of 10sessions for the second phase(weight stabilization) means leaving 20sessions for the first phase(weight reduction). If you are about to lose many kgs like around 20-30kgs or even more, i think 20sessions might be too little, therefore you'll have to buy more sessions from there, whcih they will charge at a much cheaper price (i'm not too sure about the price but you can check it out at the outlets if you are interested)
Apples and grapes are fruits that have low calorie but high sugar. 1 apple can contain 11g-22g of sugar dependent on the degree of ripeness. same for grapes at 15g. (Go to:http://www.thefruitpages.com/contents.shtml)

Hi Northgal,
the first 3 treatments have to be consecutive, then subsequent treatments have to be done with 2days rest inbetween each treatment, which means a week around 2 treatment.Eg: one treatment on mon and one treatment on fri. One should not do the treatment during menses. a total of 30sessions should be able to to be completed in 4 months.
Hi Cheryl,
I'm not too sure as in wat can be done regarding your cravings to deep fried food. But i think everything comes from self-discipline and your determination. But cheryl, i remember hearing that you are quite small size, and i have calculated your BMI which is only like 18+ and that is really very light. Are you sure that you need these slimming thingy?(no offence k.. just asking only)

One should not do the treatment during menses. a total of 30sessions should be able to to be completed in 4 months.
Hi Cheryl,
I'm not too sure as in wat can be done regarding your cravings to deep fried food. But i think everything comes from self-discipline and your determination. But cheryl, i remember hearing that you are quite small size, and i have calculated your BMI which is only like 18+ and that is really very light. Are you sure that you need these slimming thingy?(no offence k.. just asking only)

Think Alan will bang his head to c we 2 on this thread hor.
If u really have e crave 4 deep fried food, u may DIY at home. Go 4 oil that contain less satuated fat like corn oil, olive oil n canola oil. Look 4 those with e healthy label. Most chinese restaurant uses oil from pork to make it tasty but is extremely high in satuated fats.

Northgal: Oy, dun drag me into it leh! *lol* Actually, no harm learning new things. Like I'm curious abt the injection thing that doctors are doing nowadays, find out how it works, for knowledge sake.
Yunn: SPOT ON! we all have cravings, but if you're worried abt whether you can control yourself, just stay away from it. I love to snack too, so I just dun buy any so as not to get tempted. Anyway, it's a common thing with eating fatty food cos fat gives us that chemo-hormonal lift when we eat it.

Call me crazy but I think Cheryl does not need to worry about satisfying for cravings. Just do it. From her various posts I gather from her height & weight & age, she is very very skinnig and she exercises alot! Since Cheryl is already skinny, she can't afford to lose weight, then it's all about balance. She shouldn't put in more then she uses. Since Cheryl exercise so much she should not get worry about eating buffets & fried stuff occasionally. When ever she has time & money to go for a buffet, she should go ahead an enjoy. Again I am assuming from various posts that she is in University so should not have so much time in Town and not much money to buffet everyday.
Cheryl: U r a final year student?

Yunn: Aiya, temptations are always there (even my Muslim fren who married a Chinese, tempted by bak kaw! *lol*), no need to feel guilty. Moderation is everything. If you are oblidged to take out of courtesy, just take a bit lor. Actually, share with you what I do: I used to LOVE chocolates, would use my canteen money to buy. But my dad is a very thrifty man, so he whacked me, and since then, I was so traumatised by it that I weened myself off it. Lesson I learnt from there (no, don't get someone to whack you when you snack!) is that we can fool our mind into associating a negative with the food, like 'I hate the taste of it!'. Do it often enuff, it will happen! That's what I did for some food.
I love wholemeal too! It's the nutty taste lah. Good thing too, is that cos it's complex carbs and low glycemic index too, so it's good for you.

Yunn: Wow, if it's 4.5g per serving (ie. 26g), bit much leh! Abt 17%. Aiya, then again, not a matter of life and death lah, so if you're not counting the calories, not so bad. Not like you devour 50 pcs a days.
hi dreamzz, can I check whether do they let u pay by installments? Previously, I took up personal training at California Fitness, managed to lose abt 5kg within 3mths and currently maintaining the weight for about 6mths oredi. problem is i can't seemed to trim my waistline, u see, i am the "apple" shape kind, limbs slim but a thick middle
Is spot reduction possible with acupuncture? What I understand is that when one loses weight, it's overall body weight lost, we can target at specific part if we worked at it hard enough. currently, am trying out hula hoop only started for 1week, so no results yet lor...you have given quite a lot of info above but can provide me with some more info e.g. what makes u choose Aimin, why not Ma Guang?
only started for 1week, so no results yet lor...you have given quite a lot of info above but can provide me with some more info e.g. what makes u choose Aimin, why not Ma Guang?Hi Iggy,
They only allow you to pay by installment if you pay by credit cards with 0% interest, if not you have to pay them one-time-shot. According to wat i heard from the physicians there that the weight reduction is an overall effect, and they do not target at any specific part. I choses Aimin cos i saw their advertisement through their website and on televisionand it really convince me that they are good and since they are the only one TCM centre that focuses only on weight lose treatment, i guessed they must be really good at it before they decided that weight lose programme is going to be their one and only programe. Didnt choose Ma Guang cos although they are uses TCM also but they focuses not only on weight reduction. Think weight reduction for them is only one of the many programes. So i tot that they might not really be good enough in such aspect although they have a very good name and reputation.I tot that maybe Ma Guang is one of the centres that focuses on maybe something else rather than weight reduction.
As for your problem regarding your waist, i think you have to keep on doing the hula hoop exercise still but maybe during this period you can get some firming creme or Perfectslim (Loreal) to apply on it to aid in the cellulite reduction?? just a suggestion... or maybe you can do some crunches? go back to california fitness ask ask them for advice? (sorry.. cant help much to your problem)
