Introduction
For individuals with relatively sensitive constitutions and stable metabolic levels, whose weight gain is primarily due to mild irregularities in eating habits or insufficient physical activity, acupuncture can effectively regulate spleen and stomach function, improve digestion and metabolism, and suppress excessive appetite. This enables the body to gradually burn off excess fat while maintaining a relatively stable condition, potentially resulting in a weight loss of 3-5 pounds per month.
The typical weight loss range from acupuncture for weight loss over one month is generally between 3-8 pounds, although the exact results vary from person to person.
For individuals with relatively sensitive constitutions and stable metabolic levels, whose weight gain may stem from mild irregularities in eating habits or insufficient physical activity, acupuncture can effectively regulate spleen and stomach functions, improve digestion and metabolism, and suppress excessive appetite, enabling the body to burn excess fat while maintaining a relatively stable condition. Such individuals may lose 3-5 pounds in one month. While undergoing acupuncture treatment for weight loss, these individuals often achieve visible results without making significant lifestyle changes.
For those who are significantly overweight and have unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as prolonged sitting or binge eating, if their bodies respond well to acupuncture treatment, with effective stimulation of the meridians and improved circulation of qi and blood, accelerated metabolism, and enhanced fat breakdown, combined with appropriate dietary control and exercise, losing 5-8 pounds in one month is also possible.
It should be noted that the effectiveness of acupuncture for weight loss is influenced by multiple factors, including individual constitution, eating habits, level of physical activity, and the skill level of the acupuncturist. Therefore, the actual weight loss will vary accordingly.
