Qigong does not rely on the function of qi to lose weight, but requires participants not to eat food. If you don't eat food, you will feel hungry. After cutting off the food source, the body will use fat decomposition to supply energy, thus forming the change of metabolic acidosis, and the body will have a series of discomfort. On this basis, through qigong exercise, we can shift our attention to the ideas required by qigong, which can alleviate hunger to some extent. At the same time, because qigong exercise can regulate its own function, it can alleviate the symptoms and feelings of metabolic acidosis caused by lipolysis caused by hunger. If there are fewer sources of nutrition, you will naturally lose weight. Compared with other weight-loss therapies, Qigong has many similarities with hunger strike and semi-starvation therapy.

According to the above reasons, we think that for mild to moderate obesity, Qigong is not very effective in reducing weight, and exercise and diet control should be better. For severe obesity, using qigong to lose weight will have a certain effect, but we should also pay attention to deviations and accidents. People with metabolic dysfunction, using qigong to lose weight, will make a lot of fatty acids in the body decompose, and the fatty acids in the blood are too high, which is manifested as severe metabolic acidosis, and the damage to the whole body is obviously greater than the weight loss effect.
