			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Throw out your scales and your diet books! Although it’s not typically thought of as a weight loss treatment, many clients are surprised and delighted to find that acupuncture helps them lose weight. Sometimes this is intentional; they come with that specific goal in mind. Other times, weight loss is a byproduct of their treatment. Here are a few ways that acupuncture can help you lose weight:</p>
<p><strong>1. Reduce Cravings.</strong> Once the energy is unblocked and the body goes back into balance, cravings      seem to disappear. For example: After surgery, sometimes people start      having cravings they’ve never had before. They can get hypoglycemic and      start desiring things like desserts. One patient I had never liked sweets.      But after her surgery she started craving chocolate! Acupuncture can help      balance cravings. Since an important part of losing weight is eating      properly, this can help you take off the pounds and keep them off.</p>
<p><strong>2. Balance Hormones. </strong>When      your hormones are balanced, your metabolism is revved up.<strong> </strong>A lot of times change in hormones      is a deficiency in yang energy, or active energy. If that energy is slow,      then everything slows down. We can help you by increasing your yang      energy.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>3. Improve Digestion. </strong>When      your body digests more efficiently, you don’t keep on unwanted excess      weight. In addition to acupuncture, herbal medicine, teas and supplements can      keep your digestion flowing smoothly.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>4. Reduce Stress. </strong>Many      of us over-eat, or feel the need to eat lots of sugars and carbohydrates      when we’re stressed. Stress releases adrenalin in the body, leading you to      feel that it needs to replenish with these “fast energy” foods. An      acupuncture session can calm the nervous system and balance the body. When      you are calm, you don’t want to eat “comfort” foods. And if you do feel      stressed, you can try doing something else instead, like drinking water or      exercising.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>5. Trim your Waistline. </strong>At      Eastern Medical Center, a popular treatment for weight loss is abdominal      acupuncture. It’s is a combination of acupuncture, acupressure, and      cupping that is directed toward slimming the waistline. By stimulating the      area, it tightens the stomach by moving out fat and stored energy. People      who want to slim and tone the area seek out this natural treatment. It’s a      great fit for people struggling with a potbelly, women after childbirth      and anyone who wants a longer and leaner look.</p>
