Is thread embedding really effective for weight loss? Medical: Diet control

For many people who want to lose weight, acupuncture and thread embedding is often seen as a burden-free way to lose weight. There are no strict restrictions on the diet, and it does not have side effects like diet pills. Chinese medicine practitioners said that acupoint thread embedding for weight loss can promote metabolism. A reasonable weight loss rate is 3-5% in the first month. However, you may encounter a bottleneck afterwards, or have reached the standard weight. At this time, it is not recommended to continue thread embedding.

Acupoint thread embedding stimulates the body's metabolism through long-term stimulation of acupoints, increases the body's energy consumption, promotes fat decomposition, and achieves the effect of weight loss. Chinese medicine practitioner Zhang Jiabei said that in principle, dietary restrictions are not emphasized that much, so for some patients with poor medical compliance, it may be a relatively effective weight loss method.

Thread embedding for weight loss should not be regarded as a myth. Dr. Zhang Jiabei said that, like general weight loss effects, the initial weight loss is large, about 3-5% of body weight can be reduced in the first month, and then it slowly slows down. To continue to achieve weight loss effects or maintain weight loss results, although there is no need to restrict diet too strictly, the time and method of eating should still be controlled.

Dr. Zhang Jiabei pointed out that the dietary principles still emphasize balanced nutrition in order to lose weight healthily; there should be at least 3 hours between meals, and the habit of greedy snacking should be changed; it is not recommended to eat fruit or drink soup at night, because it will slow down the body's metabolism; life and work schedule should be normal, and do not eat midnight snacks.

Many people who have undergone thread embedding develop a psychological dependence after a long time, and they worry that they will gain weight again once they stop. Dr. Zhang Jiabei believes that people should still weigh their own needs and wallets, rather than relying entirely on thread embedding. Weight loss to a certain extent will encounter bottlenecks, so the correct attitude is to gain confidence in losing weight and change bad lifestyle habits through the assistance of thread embedding.

In addition, some people stop losing weight because they have reached their ideal weight, which is a BMI value between 18-24. At this time, there is no need to continue losing weight, otherwise being too thin will be detrimental to your health.
