1, weight loss effect of traditional Chinese medicine
Zi Fengling, a 28-year-old urban white-collar netizen, spent 3,000 yuan to work in a famous weight-loss institution in acupuncture weight loss since Valentine's Day this year. According to her description, it only took three times to be effective. Before I went, I lost 7 kg from * * *-15 kg, and now it is 108 kg. But this month, I haven't lost any weight. I don't know what to do. I am tired, too. I want to rest for a month first, and then continue to inject needles. I'm worried that this will affect the effect of losing weight. Very confused.
The situation of purple wind chimes is not special. Nowadays, losing weight in TCM is a hot topic. Compared with traditional diet and exercise, TCM is a passive way to lose weight. It doesn't need to exercise all day, as long as it insists on needling. Although suffering from flesh and blood, it is really popular with many female friends who don't like sports. In addition, compared with liposuction and other surgery to lose weight, traditional Chinese medicine is more flexible, not limited by seasons, and suitable for all seasons.
Chinese medicine beauty salons with "acupuncture weight loss" signs can be seen everywhere on the street. So what should Chinese medicine pay attention to when losing weight? What should I do if I encounter a platform period? How can Chinese medicine lose weight without rebounding? Weight loss institutions are mixed, how should ordinary consumers choose?
In view of these problems, the author specially visited Professor You Hua, Dean of Tianhe Branch of Mermaid Weight Loss Research Institute.
Acupuncture weight loss has the best effect after more than two courses of treatment.
Traditional Chinese medicine meridian weight loss needs more than two courses of treatment to have satisfactory results. At the beginning, the needle must be inserted once a day according to the course of treatment, and it can be adjusted to once every other day after 5-7 days. Stop the needle during the physiological period. Basically, one course of treatment is two months, and two courses are four to five months. The effect of losing weight depends on a person's physique and perseverance. You can usually see the effect of losing weight in a week or so. It is worth noting that menstruation is a special physiological period, and it is not appropriate to carry out too much treatment to maintain the stability of the body.
During the platform period, you can rest for a month before continuing to lose weight.
Weight loss has a long process of weight change, which can be divided into rapid weight loss period, slow weight loss period and some will have a platform period, that is, physical fatigue period. Anything done for a long time will have a process of fatigue, and the body will have a resistance reaction. It's like eating a food. I like it very much, but I eat it every day. You'll get bored after a while. Similarly, acupuncture weight loss sometimes has a period of acupoint fatigue, which is a normal physiological reaction. If you are really tired, it is recommended to stop the needle temporarily and continue to lose weight after rest. As long as the diet is balanced and scientific, it will not affect the weight loss effect.
After acupuncture weight loss, you need to adjust your diet to prevent a rebound.
After many people lose weight successfully, they have a misunderstanding that they can eat big and special, but this is actually wrong. Women's pursuit of beauty and health is a lifelong matter. If a woman wants to stay beautiful all her life, she needs to be anti-aging and anti-obesity all the time. Therefore, whether it is beauty or keeping in shape, it needs long-term persistence and careful care. Obesity is mainly because energy intake is greater than energy consumption. We all do addition and subtraction. Eat more and eat less, and the body will naturally convert these excess energy into fat and store it. Fat is a major form of excess energy storage, so if you eat more, you will naturally gain weight.
Continue to communicate with the doctor after losing weight successfully.
Generally, good Chinese medicine weight-loss institutions will provide some follow-up service guidance. After the course of treatment, consumers can go back to the hospital regularly for consultation and conditioning, and the doctor will supervise and guide your body and life twice a week to form good and scientific living habits, so as not to ruin the weight loss effect because of occasional overeating.
How should consumers choose a regular Chinese medicine weight loss institution?
1) Consumers must first have vision and common sense when choosing a weight-loss institution. Life is full of all kinds of advertisements, such as "getting thinner every day, getting thinner every night" and so on. This is a gimmick, encouraging but not credible;
2) Go to the site to check whether there is a business license and whether the logo is clear. Generally, large chain stores have a unified logo and decoration style. There are many "shanzhai" weight loss institutions that change a word, homophonic or adjust the word order in their names, and they will be fooled if they are not careful.
3) Then, understand the quality of employees. For example, when consulting, is it reasonable and honest? Did you exaggerate or use particularly tempting language? In addition, you should also check whether the doctor who is doing weight-loss surgery has a doctor's qualification certificate, especially acupuncture, which still has certain risks.
Editor's note:
At present, the price in acupuncture weight loss varies from home to home. It is understood that the price of the two courses is in the range of 2000-4000 yuan. In addition, for friends who are busy and can't get needles regularly every day or every other day, you can consider other weight-loss projects such as catgut embedding.
2. Suitable outdoor sports
jogging
Jogging is very beneficial to the health of your heart and lungs, and it can also enrich your energy. If you are trying to lose weight, it can burn calories faster than walking. On the other hand, the competition does bring more stress to joints, knees, ankles and hips. Everything is improving gradually. It is generally believed that the amount of exercise and the added time per week should not exceed 10%. The reason for this is that the heart and lungs can't adapt to high-intensity exercise at once, but the joints and muscles can adapt gradually, and the exercise to maintain pressure can make people energetic.
be on foot
Is it too rigid to walk? In fact, it is one of the best lifelong sports. You don't need a lot of special equipment, you can burn calories only by joints, even if the number of calories burned is relatively small compared with other sports. At present, the National Fitness Guide recommends that people exercise for 30 minutes every day for a week (such as brisk walking). According to the guidelines, keeping a brisk pace and walking for 30 minutes five days a week can prevent chronic diseases. Just increasing a certain amount of physical activity can reduce people's heart attack crisis, diabetes and high blood pressure. Besides, if you are trying to lose weight, you should walk for 60 minutes every day for most of the week. In order to avoid repeated weight gain, you must walk for 60-90 minutes every day. In the morning, if you work near home, you can consider walking. You can find something to run errands for lunch and take a proper walk for dinner, which is good for your health.
Ride a bike
Cycling is not only an effective cardiovascular exercise, but also a kind of cycling. You can go for a ride or park near your home by bike, and enjoy the community you live in while riding. There are also many people who use bicycles as a means of transportation to work. Running exercises people's thigh muscles (the muscles behind the thighs), while cycling uses quadriceps (the muscles in front of the thighs) more. More importantly, when you ride a bicycle, your whole body moves with the bicycle, and your back and knees are exercised accordingly.
