Question

I have been gaining weight steadily over the past two years, increasing by about 15 kilograms each year. Acupuncture for weight loss is favored for its convenience, safety, reliability, and lesser pain. Why do some patients still fail to reach their weight loss goals even after visiting formal clinics?

Answer

Xie Xincai, the Deputy Director of the Acupuncture Department at Beijing Traditional Chinese Medical Hospital, explained to reporters that this is because the patients do not understand some key principles of acupuncture for weight loss.
