Accupuncture for weight loss

  • Has anyone tried accupuncture for weight loss? I am not familiar with accupuncture but I'm trying to find out more about it. How does it work and what are the benefits?
  • I'm not familiar with it either, but am doubtful of its effectiveness for weight loss. Weight loss is an energy equation: expend more energy than you consume. I'm not sure how accupuncture could affect either of those.
  • I have not had it , either but I doubt that it would have a bearing on weight loss.
  • I'm kind of thinking that if acupuncher (and hypnosis) worked for weight loss 3/4 of the USA would be walking around like Zombies with 100's of little needles hanging out of them.

    I know people who have tried both, and neither of them benefited whatsoever. They did however, spend a small fortune.
