Though slow, consistent weight loss is healthiest, it's not uncommon for people to want to shed pounds quickly. It is important to note that after any type of weight loss you will likely have a lower resting metabolism. This is partially due to having a lower body mass, requiring less calories to maintain. And sometimes due to adaptive thermogenesis, meaning you will need to eat less calories per day to maintain your weight compared to a similar individual at the exact same weight who has never been on a diet ( 28 ). But the effects of adaptive thermogenesis are typically short lived, and for most the difference could be as little as a 5% decrease in BMR. However, after crash dieting, your BMR could drop 10 to 15%, which could have a significant impact on your TDEE and weight maintenance efforts ( 29 , 30 , 31 ).
Acupuncture helps people to curb cravings, it increases energy, promotes relaxation, stops appetite, and increases nutrient absorption. Ear acupuncture is considered a very effective practice for weight loss because the ear possesses a number of connection points that represent most of the major organs and body parts. Acupuncturists sometimes put the magnets or beads on the auricular points after each acupuncture treatment to ensure more efficiency between sessions. During a consultation with an acupuncturist, a thorough examination will be needed to understand what points on your body need to be stimulated. When the needles are inserted into certain vital points, they improve and restore the flow of life energy called Qi". According to Chinese medicine, Qi" stagnation in certain areas of the body can cause weight gain.
