Am I the only one curious about the effects of acupuncture for weight loss? Haha. It's summer now, and as I enter my late 40s, I've been gaining weight. Since my body feels heavy, I feel like my mood is slumping along with it. I don't know if it's just me, haha, but does anyone else relate? I'm a mom raising an elementary school daughter, and I have a huge appetite. I especially can't quit baked goods. A madeleine, a financier, a scone, and a cup of coffee make me so happy, at least for that moment. But since this isn't just a one-night stand, it's become a problem. I've tried dieting on my own. Skipping dinner, eating salad, eating only half a bowl of rice... I do well for a few days, but once I smell bread, it all goes downhill. Haha. Now that I'm this age, I don't lose weight just by starving myself for a day like I used to. Just when I think I've lost a little, it comes back, my body swells, and my belly sticks out. Since the yo-yo effect keeps repeating, it's starting to scare me a bit. So, lately, I've been looking into acupuncture for weight loss. Honestly, it’s not like I’m going to trust you completely; it’s just that I find it so hard to do this on my own, so I really just want someone by my side to hold my ground. When I look into acupuncture for weight loss, I intentionally look for places with a female doctor. I want a place where I can comfortably talk about my body, my cravings, and binge eating before my period. I think all women can relate to this, haha. Only we know what hormones are like, you know. What kind of changes actually occur when getting acupuncture for weight loss? I’m thinking of taking medication along with it since I’m doing it anyway. I’m curious if weight loss happens first, or if the difference in swelling or appetite is noticeable first. I’d also like to know if it’s effective for people with a strong appetite. I’m also curious if it hurts a lot when getting the needles, and I don’t really know what kind of needles are used. If anyone has experience with acupuncture for weight loss, I would be so grateful if you could share your actual reviews and recommend the clinic you go to! It would be even better if it were in the Seoul area😊
