Would you like to reduce your hunger so you can eat less? The Acupuncture Weight Control program is a series of acupuncture treatments that helps you feel full so that you can eat less and still have energy. This holistic therapy allows your body to take in less fat from the food you eat.
Recently CNN.com published a story about a Chinese rap group comprising of 4 women called Qian Jin Zu He, which means “1,000 Pounds” – their combined weight. Their famous song was “So What If I’m Fat?” They are currently using acupuncture, exercise and diet to lose weight.
The lead singer, 26-year-old Xiao Yang, is 375 pounds; the others in the group are between about 200 and 300 pounds. Together, they tour the country, performing at nightclubs, conventions and shopping malls. Xiao grew up in the city of Xuzhou, in the eastern province of Jiangsu. She took weight-loss pills at age 5.
Here are some excerpts from the article:
The four women have checked into the Aimin Fat Reduction Hospital in the city of Tianjin, southeast of Beijing. “We are growing older and obesity will definitely have a negative impact on our health,” said Xiao Yang, the group’s leader. “We all thought losing weight would be good for our health, even if we only lose a little bit.”
Their doctors were pleasantly surprised with the women’s progress. In two months Yang, the heaviest, has lost the most, more than 50 pounds (22 kilos). The others have shed more than 30 pounds (13 kilos) each.
“They are progressing much faster and better than we expected,” said Hao Jie, their personal trainer.
The women start the day with acupuncture to reduce their appetite. Their three-hour daily workout includes badminton and weights, and their meals are limited to 1,500 calories a day.
In China, the classic female beauty is petite, almost fragile. The group said they had suffered due to their weight, getting nasty stares and rude comments.

Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture are first and foremost a preventive type of medicine. It is lack of information that makes people wait until it is to late to prevent disease. We are not in tune with our own bodies, and we pay dearly for it. I believe that the way Chinese medicine looks at health can help give us a better hold on the prevention aspects of Medicine
