Will cupping for weight loss rebound if you don't eat staple food

Not eating staple foods during cupping weight loss may lead to weight regain. The risk of rebound is mainly related to decreased basal metabolism, muscle loss, nutritional imbalance, hormonal imbalances, and behavioral habits.

1. Metabolic decline:

Long term non carbohydrate intake can put the body into energy-saving mode, reducing the basal metabolic rate by 20% -30%. Cupping itself does not directly consume calories, and when the body returns to a normal diet, insufficient energy consumption can easily lead to fat accumulation. It is recommended to ensure at least 50 grams of high-quality carbohydrates such as oats and brown rice daily.

2. Muscle loss:

Lack of staple food forces the body to break down muscles for energy supply. For every 1 kilogram reduction in muscle mass, 13 calories are burned less per day. Cupping cannot prevent muscle breakdown, and body fat percentage may be higher after refeeding than before weight loss. Combining impedance training can reduce risks.

3. Trace deficiency: Insufficient intake of B vitamins and dietary fiber in grains can affect the activity of fat metabolism enzymes. Clinical observations have shown that strict abstinence from cannibalism accounts for 67% of cases of constipation and rough skin, which can lead to binge eating.

4. Hormonal fluctuations: Insufficient carbohydrate intake can lead to a 38% decrease in leptin levels and a 45% increase in ghrelin levels. The hormone imbalance period within 3-6 months after cupping increases the probability of uncontrollable appetite in patients by 2.3 times.

5. Behavioral rebound:

The psychological deprivation caused by extreme eating can cause 86% of people to retaliate by eating after stopping cupping. Records show that those who completely quit staple foods rebounded an average of 7.2 kilograms within six months, higher than the 3.1 kilograms in the moderate intake group.

It is recommended to use a progressive carbon water cycle method to control low glycemic index staple foods such as sweet potatoes and quinoa within 40% of the total daily calories, combined with cupping no more than twice a week. During weight loss, supplement with compound vitamin B daily to ensure 7 hours of sleep and regulate leptin secretion. After stabilizing the weight, increase protein intake first and gradually restore the carbon water ratio, using a 3-month transition period to rebuild metabolic balance. Regularly conduct body composition testing, and adjust the plan immediately when muscle mass decreases by more than 5% of the baseline value.
