In your time of year, patients often bring their concerns about weight loss in the treatment room. The word "diet" gives me hives just thinking about it. And honestly wondered if acupuncture works for weight loss are a little hurt at ease. Because
it usually means "I had a friend who clips ear" and lost 20 pounds in
three weeks "I can not speak to the validity of any such claims or
promise of these results, however, as.. all other aspects of health, Chinese medicine offers no hope and help.
In the broadest strokes, Chinese medicine can be said to work to achieve inner balance. We always start the healing process by correcting what seems out of balance. Weight management is a risky issue because the underlying problems can be very complex, ranging from emotional trauma a possible hormonal imbalances. The treatment begins with a thorough differential diagnosis, which explains the uniqueness of each person. This is not always as simple as appetite control. Therefore, my reluctance to jump on the bandwagon of a size to lose weight fast broadband.
All that being said, we can take a few widely applicable wisdom from Chinese medicine to achieve a healthy weight. From this point of view, we can also understand why so many of our efforts fail.
Diet is a four letter word
Our main objective is usually goes right "diet." Fad diets come and go, but what they have in common is food restriction. We counted the calories, carbohydrates, fat reduced shunned, replaced sugar, meat was gorged avoided and grapefruit. Far from being effective long-term strategies, we are gaining more weight. What is clear about the diet does not work.
Why diets do not work? Diets that promote the idea of a temporary imbalance dietary restriction will produce a permanent state of balance in weight management. This is false on its face. This emphasis on a restrictive diet unbalanced forces us to exercise the will to control appetite. This really sucks and here's why.
From the perspective of Chinese medicine, appetite is a complex function of the stomach Qi. In a state of balance, appetite leads us to consume what they need to be healthy. It's like any other physiological process that works organically without mental effort. Imagine if we were thinking about making our hearts beat or digestion of food. In fact, we only have the knowledge of these processes when something goes wrong. Appetite, in its natural state, it is that simple. We only eat nutritious food drives when we have a real sense of hungry and stop when we are tired.
When out of balance, appetite is no longer appropriate. We can shoot in full game master mind anxiety and distress throughout the day. If our appetites expose these moods Child-esque, is a clear signal that all is not well in our kingdom stomach Qi. Oh, but what to do, what to do?
Stop dieting and lose weight
The answer is to restore the Qi of the stomach. This can be done by a well-balanced and nutritious diet. The best way to stay true to this principle is to avoid processed foods and cook "real food together." In Chinese medicine, we eat three meals a day in time traditional meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We recognize also that cooked and hot food is better for the stomach raw and cold Qi. More importantly, every effort should be made to the taste of good health food, if it satisfies the appetite.
The trick is that this process of eating right can not be done using will over-restrict supply. It defies the laws of nature, as perceived by the ancient Chinese. His appetite ultimately rebel against fascism in the diet, as sure as gravity pulls an apple on Newton's head. The natural appetite for good tasty food must be satisfied or the whole plan falls apart.
Now this does not mean that you can take wind will follow the bad appetite and expect to lose weight. There are a circular pattern can manifest imbalance. Stomach Qi imbalance seems insufficient appetite which leads to poor eating habits, further degrading the stomach Qi and distorts appetite. Again and again, the downward spiral goes.
Of course, acupuncture treatment is a way out of the cycle is perpetuated imbalance. With balance restored, the deep wisdom of the body is responsible for the implementation of the program of appetite without having to think too much. What I mean is that adjustments in lifestyle can also be used to help correct the imbalance. This requires us to make decisions feed through the judicious application of our control. We must feed, not deprive us. The trick is to first focus on getting enough healthy food delicious (wisdom), against more focus on what not to eat (eat). Ultimately, your stomach Qi prefer the taste of carrot soup on donuts. Sounds crazy, I know. Trust me. It is true.
