Acupuncture weight loss has two principles: one is to stimulate acupoints to accelerate the secretion of some hormones in the body, which indirectly increases the metabolic consumption of the body; The other is to block the hunger of the brain through acupoint stimulation, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing dietary intake.

In principle, acupuncture weight loss will play a certain role in losing weight. But from the current reality, first, some institutions that set up acupuncture weight loss do not have the corresponding qualifications (for example, under the guise of acupuncture, we are required to strictly diet); Secondly, the health and safety of some institutions can't meet the standard at all (for example, one needle per person or high-temperature disinfection with recycled needles can't reach it); Thirdly, acupuncture does have certain security risks (for example, if the abdominal needle goes deeper, it may hurt the internal organs of women with thin abdominal wall).

Acupuncture weight loss is not the recommended way to lose weight. I suggest that you mainly adopt the method of combining diet with exercise. Even if you want to use acupuncture weight loss, you should choose a regular large-scale Chinese medicine institution.
