    I started getting acupuncture recently and have been told that I have “issues” with my spleen & kidneys...both effect metabolism.

    I went from a couch potato to weight training 3x a week and running about 12-16 miles per week. No fast food or soda, limited sweets yaddy-yadda. Bloodwork shows I am in perfect health now. I have been consistant for 2 years thus far. I am 5'3, 180! I have been that weight since before I started. Sure I have toned up and slimmed down physically but the scale weight won't budge. Seriously frustrating.

    Anyone have success with acupuncture for weight loss???

    I'm confused. Did the acupuncturist tell you that you had issues with your spleen and kidneys or did your doctor tell you from reading your blood work or doing tests? The reason I ask is while I think acupuncture and other non-traditional treatments do have some positive results, I would still be skeptical without further following up with my doctor. As far as acupuncture for weight loss, I haven't heard of it before. I've heard of acupuncture for people trying to quit smoking though.
