Losing the weight is easy; keep the weight off is tough.   From the medical point of view, weight control deals not only with short-term decrease in pounds but also the long-term management of health and the prevention of drastic weight fluctuation, the so-called yo-yo syndrome.   There are basically two types of people who are interested in weight control; those with metabolic imbalances who consume more energy than they expand, and those with emotional and psychological issues who use food as an outlet.   Regardless of the cause, people who want to lose weight and maintain a healthier body need to formulate a plan that include diet modification, exercise regimen and using acupuncture treatment as a compliment to their effort.   How Can Acupuncture Help Me to Control My Weight?    Acupuncture work on different areas of the body in the process of weight control. 1.
