Before starting Dr. Ming's system it's important to know that in order to lose weight and obtain the ideal body for the long term, it's recommended that you combine it with improved life habits. Dr. Ming's tea is an important part of a healthy process to lose weight.

Lose Weight one day at the time

The universal key to weight loss is the following: The body must consume fewer calories than it uses during the day. Healthy weight loss is composed of following two phases:

1- Adjustment reduction

Adjustment reduction is the beginning stage. It must be a temporary stage to protect your health. Ideally, weight loss should occur when gradual changes in life habits have been made to maintain an ideal weight, health and energy. A body with an adequate fat level, appropriate foods and periodical exercise, is a body which naturally exudes happiness, energy and enthusiasm. The healthy body then becomes a tool to increase our harmony and well-being.

2- Maintenance

At the end of Dr. Ming’s Tea treatment, we will invite you to live the pleasure of a healthy life. When you obtain the indicated weight for your body, the maintenance stage means that every day you are committed to eating better, exercising more and therefore enjoying the gift of life.

The success of your 30-day treatment and subsequent change in habits depends on your effort every day. That’s why Dr. Ming’s Tea program asks that you be what you’ve always wanted to be only for today.

Only for today feel like the happy, strong, healthy and athletic person that you’ve always wanted to be. Only for today know that you’re in the correct place and that you are the person that you should be. Remember every day that you have been transformed and that you are already a different person with a destiny full of health, well-being and energy. Today you are certain on the path to success. Only for today remember that you have begun a process with no return which will bring you every day closer to better health, greater beauty and more security.

We suggest that every day you fortify your will with a positive phrase which motivates you. You may choose or many which must be recited at least twice a day. We will present a suggestion below:

The key to this system is based on the fact that you should only concentrate your attention and effort on today. Forget about tomorrow. Forget about yesterday. Only today matters and today you are different. Today you have been reborn knowing that you have better ha- bits, that your mind is cleaning your body and that you will nourish it only for today, with healthy foods, fruits, vegetables and natural juices. Only for today will you avoid fried foods, avoid sweets and avoid sodas. Only for today will you avoid sugar and use sweeteners with no calories. Only for today will you eat fewer carbohydrates, less bread, rice and pasta. Only for today will you avoid red meat and prefer steamed chicken or steamed fish and delicious salads and fruits. The only thing that we have is today and all of its radiant beauty has been created for you. Only for today will you bond with another human being and be a happy and better person today.

Do this every day. Think about this every day and your life will be transformed. You are already a new person.

The Ideal Body

The ideal percentage of fat for the woman's body is between 25% and 31%, while for a man it is 18% to 25%. This percentage may decrease in the case of athletes and the individual contexture of the person.

To know if your weight is recommended you should calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index). It's very simple; you just have to apply the following formula:

To achieve the ideal body, you should try to consume everything in moderation and not exaggerate the portion sizes and try to perform a physical activity at least 3 times a week for at least 1⁄2 hour.

The best way to burn calories and improve your health is to exercise regularly. In this way you will not only lose weight but also gain well-being and energy.

Healthy Eating Guide

There are foods that can bring a too high caloric load to the body. Fat calories are different from carbohy- drate calories and protein calories. Understanding this difference is very important for us because we can replace fats with more fiber and protein and in this way we will be eating fewer calories!

Fats have 9 calories per gram, while proteins have only 4 calories per gram plus our body metabo- lizes dietary fat in another way that processes proteins.

The foods that should be eaten in a controlled manner are: carbohydrates in refined forms (white bread, rice, noodles, sugar, sweets, etc.) and saturated fats (fried, lard, butters and marga- rines, animal fats, etc.). It is very important to minimize sugar consumption. It is also advisable to reduce the consumption of red and fatty meats such as beef, fried foods and high-calorie foods.

Fibers

Fiber has always been an important word in the world of nutrition. At this time, most of us are aware of the need for fiber in our diet to help our body have regular bowel elimination, fight disease, control high blood pressure, and avoid obesity.

There are two different types of fibers: Soluble and Insoluble

Soluble fiber dissolves in water, and insoluble fiber does not.

Soluble fiber benefits the circulatory system, helping to maintain blood pressure and cholesterol at normal levels.

Insoluble fiber benefits the digestive system by adding bulk and softness to stool.

Refined, processed foods, and "fast food" tend to lack the fiber required for optimal health. Therefore many people may not be getting their recommended daily fiber intake.

The correct fiber mixture also seems to have a stabilizing effect on the blood glucose level and also tends to give the feeling of fullness.

This program recommends foods that contain a high degree of protein, and are low in fat and carbohy- drates. Sufficient proportions of the above nutrients without exceeding 30% of suggested fat intake are an integral part of the weight loss program

Protein

Protein is an essential nutrient, which stimulates the metabolism because the body should inten- sely function to be able to decompose the protein comple- tely so that it can later be absorbed. Protein helps to repair, nourish and protect the delicate tissue (muscle) during the weight loss program. The types of protein to consume should include “complete protein” which contains all the essential amino acids. Because your body cannot produce protein it’s important for you to consume it daily. Protein must be combined with carbohydrates to provide its maximum benefit.

Carbohydrates - Simple & Complex

Simple carbohydrates are rapidly absorbed and complex carbohydrates are slowly absorbed. It’s important that each type of carbohydrate is included in your daily diet.

It’s recommended that the majo- rity of the carbohydrates be consumed early in the day preferably before 2:00 p.m.

Fat

Fat has three basic functions: Insulation, source of alternative energy and storage.
The consumption of fat should not exceed 30% of your daily calorie consumption.

NOTE: (Totally eliminating fat from your diet must be avoided because some fat is necessary for maintaining good health, reducing hunger and adding flavor to food).

Advice on nutritional planning

• Never reduce your calorie consumption below 1000 calories without being supervised by a doctor.
• Remember to eat regularly, don’t kill yourself from hunger! The drastic restriction of calories may reduce your metabolic rate and make you gain weight.
• Train your body to burn calories eating regularly and moderately.
• To use the food planner simply choose any food on the list below for each meal. The selections of food may be substituted but remember to try eating the majority of carbohydrates before 2:00 p.m.
• Try to eat some protein at each meal.
• Drink two cups of Dr. Ming’s Tea, one before breakfast and one in the afternoon.
• Drink at least 8 cups of water daily.

VARIOUS FEEDING TIPS

• 1 serving of coffee, tea, diet refreshments, may count as 1⁄2 glass of water. Try not to exceed 2 servings per day.
• You require 500 to 800 milligrams of sodium per day to 33 stay healthy. Read all the food labels.
• Alcohol has almost twice the amount of calories whether of carbohydrates or of proteins and excessive amounts may lead to dehydration. Try to limit alcohol consumption as much as possible and if possible eliminate it completely.
• Try to drink 8 or more glasses of water daily. Water is added to the volume of water in your digestive system to process foods without increasing calories. This way, water can accelerate your metabolism.
• The more water you drink the more weight you will loose!

Physical Activity

When you are young you naturally exercise because it’s fun. As time goes on, you will find that exercise keeps you young. Exercise is one of the most important elements to permanent weight control. The metabolic rate generally diminishes with age which may make you burn calories slower and gain weight. Exercise stimulates the metabolism, and this may help you burn more calories and lose weight. Exercise also helps you build and tone your muscles. Even after exercising your metabolism will func- tion better because the muscular tissue is metabolically active for 24 hours.

Additional benefits of exercise include:

• Blood pressure goes down
• Lower levels of triglycerides
• Reduce stress levels
• Increase in cardiovascular health

Here are some exercise guides:

All body activities (moderate intensity, i.e. walking or jogging) will burn 50-60% of fat and are generally the best option for exercise in a weight loss program.

Your body begins to maximize burning body fat after the first 20 minutes of exercise.

Try to exercise your body before meals. This will help stimulate the metabolism and reduce your appe- tite.

Do 30 minutes, 3 to 4 times a week, of low intensity exercises (i.e. walking, shopping). This will greatly increase weight loss. Gradually increase the intensity through exercises such as jogging, swimming and bi- king.

Choose a daily activity, which you enjoy and try to include a positive friend to practice with.

Never exaggerate exercise. You must be able to carry on a normal conversation during your exercise routine.

Choose a daily activity which you enjoy and try to include a positive friend. Slowly begin to exercise and adequately warm up. Remember only to move!

TABLE DEMONSTRATING THE AMOUNT OF CALORIES BURNED PER HOUR AND PER TYPE AND IN- TENSITY OF EXERCISE

How should you weigh yourself?

Before you begin, select a good bathroom scale or a medical scale. Each time you weigh yourself or check your measurements, write down the day and results.

Here are some suggestions on weighing yourself:

1. The first thing that you should do in the morning before beginning your Program of Dr. Ming’s is to weigh yourself.

2. Before weighing yourself first remember that you should do it yourself once a week and only once a week.

3. Always weigh yourself early in the morning (before breakfast) and at the same time each week.

4. Always weigh yourself without any clothes on or while wearing light clothing.

You should resist the urge to weigh yourself every day during the program. Those people who are addicted to weighing themselves should avoid doing it numerous times a day!

Don’t let normal weight fluctuations bring you down. The scale only indicates your weight but says nothing about your health, fat content, muscular content or metabolism.

Hide your scale if you have to, but remember to weigh yourself just ONCE a week.

The following measurements should be taken with a tape measure only once a week:

1. Thorax

measure around your thorax to the top of your chest.

2. Abdomen

measure around your waist at the level of your navel (above your pelvis).

3. Hips

measure around your hips at mid-buttock.

4. High thighs

completely measure around the high part of the thighs.

5. Mid thigh

measure around the thigh partially between your knees and the highest part of your leg.

6. High part of arm

partially measure between your shoulder and elbow, with your arms hanging down naturally.

Make sure to note the exact measures every time you take them.
