Acupuncture for Weight Loss

justsummie

So, my husband lost a bet and now he owes me a trip to the acupuncturist. Has anyone tried acupuncture for weight loss? Know how many sessions it takes? Any details at all would be appreciated. Thanks!

I started going to one for a ruptured Achilles repair, and I think it's great. I never thought about going for weight loss, but it's clear that if your cortisol levels are out of whack (up and down at the wrong times, too high in general) due to stress, this can cause weight gain. Because acupuncture can help relieve stress, I see how it could help. I'll ask my guy and let you know! Probably a series of 8 sessions would be enough for you to see if you can tell a difference...
