Although the efficacy of acupuncture for weight loss is certain, it is not a matter of losing as much weight as you want. Many patients have misconceptions about acupuncture for weight loss. 1, the effect of weight loss varies from person to person The effect of acupuncture weight loss varies according to the individual’s physique, genetic factors and acceptance of acupuncture treatment. For example, if your weight is more than the normal range, the speed of reduction may be faster. If the weight is in the normal range or only a little higher, then your speed will be slower. 2, it is important to persevere Acupuncture weight loss will also have a plateau period.

Therefore, after acupuncture weight loss is stopped, you will not gain weight again soon. But acupuncture weight loss is a gradual process, if you expect a few needles down to become slender, it is also unrealistic. 3, weight loss is equal to weight loss Weight loss is not scientific only to weight loss as the only indicator. The concept of weight loss and weight loss is not the same. Some people lose weight after weight loss and no significant change, this may be due to with weight loss, increased exercise, sweating, fat cells in the reduction of water, the volume became smaller, or fat reduction, metabolic disorders corrected muscle increased, so the weight change is not obvious, from the body itself is more healthy. 4, choose a regular medical institution For the choice of weight loss institutions, or should take a more cautious attitude. If the acupuncturist is not very skilled, the acupuncture points are not accurate, which will deepen the pain when the dieter receives treatment, and if the needles are too deep, it will injure some of the dieter’s organs. So in order to ensure health, you should first understand whether the practitioner has a solid professional foundation, whether it can ensure the safety of patients. 5, moderate exercise and reasonable diet with the principle of diet control: not hungry, not hungry, eat vegetables and lean meat, eggs, eight minutes full; do not eat sweets, fatty meat, and starchy food. Acupuncture weight loss must also be combined with the adjustment of life and living, because most of the obesity is caused by unreasonable living habits, should be moderate exercise.
