What should I do if I don't lose weight through cupping

The inability to lose weight through cupping may be related to improper operation methods, differences in physical constitution, or failure to combine other weight loss measures. Adjusting cupping methods, combining dietary control, and moderate exercise can improve weight loss outcomes. The principle of cupping weight loss is to stimulate acupoints through negative pressure, promote blood circulation and metabolism, and help eliminate toxins and excess water from the body. If the expected effect is not achieved after cupping, it may be due to improper selection of the cupping site or insufficient operation time. It is recommended to choose a professional cupping specialist to perform cupping operations on specific acupoints such as Zhongwan, Tianshu, Zusanli, etc. The duration of each cupping session should be controlled at 10-15 minutes, 2-3 times a week.

2. Differences in physical constitution can also affect the effectiveness of cupping for weight loss. Due to slow metabolism or heavy dampness in the body, some people may not have significant effects after cupping. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used to improve physical fitness, such as taking traditional Chinese medicines like Poria cocos and atractylodes macrocephala to invigorate the spleen and dispel dampness, or drinking red bean and coix seed water to help eliminate dampness. At the same time, pay attention to keeping warm after cupping and avoid getting cold to avoid affecting the effect. 3. Cupping for weight loss requires a combination of dietary control and moderate exercise to achieve better results. In terms of diet, it is recommended to reduce the intake of high calorie foods and increase fiber rich foods such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains to help promote intestinal peristalsis. In terms of exercise, you can choose aerobic exercises such as brisk walking, swimming, or yoga, at least 3 times a week for more than 30 minutes each time, to help burn excess fat.

4. If long-term cupping for weight loss is still ineffective, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor or nutritionist to rule out other potential health problems. For example, thyroid dysfunction or hormonal imbalances may also lead to difficulty in losing weight. Doctors may recommend relevant examinations and develop personalized weight loss plans based on specific circumstances.

Cupping for weight loss is not an ineffective method, but requires adjusting the operation method according to individual circumstances, combined with various measures such as diet and exercise. Through scientific methods and persistence, the weight loss effect can be effectively improved, achieving the goal of healthy weight loss.
