The side effects of acupuncture for weight loss and hellish children's training centers

(ix) The adverse effects of acupuncture on the ear

Acupuncture for weight loss was once very popular. Someone who tried it came to me saying, "Sir, I suffered a huge loss!" He said his good friend had tried many methods to lose weight, and then heard that acupuncture on the ears could suppress appetite and achieve weight loss. So we immediately went for treatment. My friend said that she occasionally experienced stomach pain or nausea after acupuncture, but she really lost more than three kilograms in two months. The acupuncturist said that the stomach pain and nausea were due to a small stomach rejecting excess food. I felt that my friend had lost weight, but her former vitality was gone. She herself said: "I felt uncomfortable, and it wasn't worth it, so I decided not to continue." But by then, she had already spent several years trying. As for myself, after acupuncture, my appetite not only didn't decrease, but actually increased; I ate more than before! I gained more than 9 kilograms in three weeks. So I think this acupuncture was a failure. Afterwards, I went to see a friend who understands acupuncture. He analyzed that within the same acupoint, one side suppresses appetite while the other increases it, so it's easy to get it wrong.

I already had some doubts about acupuncture, and now, to verify its effectiveness, I did some research. A medical school professor conducted an experiment and published his findings in a journal. He said, "Acupuncture is ineffective unless combined with dietary therapy and appropriate exercise."

(X) Hellish Obese Child Training Centers

One idea that really surprised me was that more exercise would burn calories and naturally lead to weight loss. Quite a few people believe this, and I often hear about people starting to swim to lose weight.

If you think you can lose weight solely through exercise, you've misunderstood the true meaning of exercise. Exercise should ideally be done in a relaxed state of mind to benefit both your physical and mental health. Exercising excessively for a specific purpose is meaningless, as the weight loss effect is surprisingly small. For example, to lose just 1 kilogram in tennis, you would have to play continuously for 16 hours. Therefore, you can see how difficult it is to lose weight through exercise alone.

Then there are weight loss training centers built on this flawed idea, specifically designed to train obese children. Because I also had children that age, I can't help but speak out when I think about the suffering these children endure.

In a certain region, a "gymnastics tutoring class for obese children" was set up during the summer vacation, specifically recruiting overweight children from first grade to second grade. It is said that the training center even prepared a lot of buckets of water, specifically for children who could not stand the hardship of training to vomit, so you can imagine what the situation inside was like.

All the children were wearing thick sportswear and training in a stuffy, poorly ventilated sports field. The indoor temperature was always kept between 35 and 40 degrees Celsius. How could the children stand that? The 3-hour training course included a 1200-1500 meter race, 50 back-and-forth sprints, double-leg jumps, abdominal exercises, and so on.

Such methods and training are not necessarily suitable for adults, let alone children. Many younger children cannot bear it and begin to vomit, followed by a chorus of vomiting and crying, eventually forcing the entire training to be stopped.

It's said that the children lost an average of 3 kilograms in a month. They did lose weight, but is this kind of training good for children? This is something worth investigating.

Yes, does losing weight really have to involve so much suffering? Does it really have to be this painful?

Of course not!

Next, I will introduce the Wada family's weight loss method.

This is a weight loss method that I have developed through years of dedicated research. Since I have personally benefited greatly from this method both physically and mentally, I am honestly recommending it to everyone.

The key feature of this weight loss method is that it doesn't require difficult or intense exercise. You only need to understand which exercises are beneficial for weight loss and be able to apply them effectively. You don't even need to set aside specific time for exercise; 5-6 minutes each time is enough to achieve your goals. Undoubtedly, this is a weight loss method very suitable for the needs of modern people.
