Acupuncture treatment is currently recognized as the world’s green treatment, it has no adverse effects on the human body during the treatment process, with the characteristics of “no diarrhea, no anorexia, no fatigue”. Therefore, among the many weight loss treatments, acupuncture is favored. So, why do some people lose weight with acupuncture instead of “losing” weight? This is not surprising. This is because weight loss is not the same as weight loss, but fat loss. In other words, the concept of weight loss is not the same as weight loss. Some people’s weight does not significantly change or even increase after acupuncture, but the fat index is reduced, waist, hips, thighs, hands, upper arms and other places to reduce fat, which may be due to the body’s metabolic disorders with acupuncture, the body’s metabolic disorders are corrected to reduce body fat and muscle increase, so the weight change is not obvious or even increased, but the body itself is more healthy. Although your weight has increased, the phenomenon of “obesity” has significantly improved, which is also the “merit” of acupuncture weight loss. The effect of weight loss is also related to the characteristics of the fat, soft fat reduction is fast and obvious, hard fat is not fast results. The actual acupuncture is not a one-time thing, any weight loss method must be adjusted gradually. As each person’s response to acupuncture is different, generally need to adhere to more than 3 months of intensive and intense treatment, especially obese people need six months to a year, that is, acupuncture weight loss is a slow process of adjustment of the body, when the treatment stops, the weight can basically maintain a normal level of 1 to 3 years. It can be seen that acupuncture weight loss is mainly effective for people with simple obesity, among which the acquired obesity (intake is greater than consumption) has a good effect. In addition, the effectiveness of acupuncture weight loss not only depends on the doctor’s good technology, the subjective will of the obese, will, diet, exercise, etc. is also very important. Otherwise, the doctor’s technology is good, the dieter does not cooperate well, still adhere to the bad lifestyle, eating and drinking, lazy and immobile, its weight loss effect will certainly be greatly reduced. It should be noted that many beauty salons and weight loss centers zap 30 to 40 needles (in order to charge more). Some weight loss people also think that the more needles are tied the more obvious the effect, in fact, this is a misconception. This is a misconception. Acupuncture requires professional knowledge, it has rules and regulations, focus on the selection of points, different from person to person, evidence-based treatment. If you blindly follow the trend of acupuncture to lose weight, there are hundreds of harm but no benefit.
