Being overweight seems to be a problem that alot of people tend to struggle with especially those of us that sit in front of a computer all day. I am always looking for ways to shed a few pounds myself and will try different things as long as it’s nothing to weird. I have used acupuncture for pain relief but never imagined it might be helpful for weight loss:

acupuncture is effective in making it easier to lose and maintain that loss if the patient is willing to change their lifestyle

Not sure it would be beneficial or not but it’s worth a closer look, I think. It couldn’t be any worse than some of the diets out there.
