What should you do if you need to lose weight?
Your body gets energy from food so any excess energy will be stored as fat. This means that if you consume more food than your body requires for daily activities and body maintenance, you will gain weight. Therefore, in order to lose weight, you will need to use up the stored fat in the body. The most effective way to lose weight is to: • reduce your intake of calories • increase your physical activities
That is why experts emphasize on diet and exercise when they talk about weight loss.

What kind of results can acupuncture slimming achieve?
Generally, one can lose 3% to 5% of the original body weight within a month through acupuncture slimming treatments. However, do note that someone who has a heavier body weight will slim down faster as compared to the other whose weight is closer to his/her ideal body weight. Acupuncture focuses mainly on self-regulation. Therefore, weight reduction through acupuncture slimming is unlikely to continue indefinitely.
