Break the Cycle of Weight Loss Rebound with TCM Solutions

Why is it easy to regain weight after losing weight?

When we lose weight, we consume more calories by reducing food intake or increasing physical activity, which leads to weight loss. However, once we start to return to normal eating and activity levels, our body may start to accumulate fat again, leading to weight regain. This phenomenon is called weight rebound.


The main reason for weight rebound is the body's response to reduced calorie intake and increased physical activity. When we reduce calorie intake, the body adapts to this state and slows down metabolism, which means the body uses less energy to adapt to a lower calorie intake. When we increase physical activity, the body adapts and becomes more efficient, which means we use less energy to perform the same activity.


When we start to return to normal eating and activity levels, our body may still be in a state of adapting to reduced calorie intake and increased physical activity. This means we need more time and effort to restore our metabolism and the body's response to normal eating and physical activity. If we return to normal eating and activity levels too quickly, our body may not be able to adapt, leading to weight rebound.

In addition, psychological and environmental factors may also affect weight rebound. Our eating and activity habits may be influenced by stress, emotions, and environment, which may lead to us developing poor habits and behaviors, resulting in weight rebound.


In conclusion, weight rebound is a common phenomenon, but it can be reduced by gradually restoring normal eating and activity habits and maintaining a positive attitude.


Some people may experience weight rebound after losing weight, which could be due to the following reasons:

  1. Unchanged dietary habits: Many people adopt extreme dietary measures, such as completely eliminating carbohydrates or fasting, during weight loss. Although this may help to lose weight quickly, once returning to normal eating, the body can easily reabsorb fat and calories, leading to weight rebound.

  2. Lack of exercise: Dieting alone is not enough; moderate exercise is also essential. If the appropriate amount of exercise is not maintained after weight loss, the body can easily lose its metabolism ability, leading to weight rebound.

  3. Failure to form a healthy lifestyle: Weight loss should be a healthy lifestyle, not a short-term behavior. If a healthy lifestyle, such as regular eating and exercise habits, is not developed during weight loss, rebound is more likely to occur.

  4. Decreased metabolic rate: Long-term weight loss can lead to a decrease in the body's metabolic rate, meaning that the body will also require less energy. When returning to normal eating and lifestyle, the body can easily reabsorb excess calories and fat, leading to weight rebound.

  5. Lack of sustained supervision and support: Weight loss is a long-term process, and without sustained supervision and support, people can easily lose motivation and confidence, leading to rebound.

Traditional Chinese medicine treatments can achieve weight loss by improving the body's internal environment and balancing the body, and there is no possibility of rebound. The following are several traditional Chinese medicine treatments that can help with weight loss without rebounding:

  1. Acupuncture: By stimulating the body's meridian acupoints to regulate the body's internal balance, promote metabolism, help eliminate dampness and toxins in the body, and achieve weight loss. After the treatment, continue to maintain good diet and lifestyle habits to reduce the possibility of rebound.

  2. Chinese herbal medicine: Chinese herbal decoctions can help improve the body's internal environment, promote metabolism, reduce body edema and fat accumulation. By combining with a healthy diet and exercise, weight loss can be achieved with less rebound.

  3. Tuina: Tuina can stimulate the meridian acupoints, promote body metabolism and blood circulation, help reduce fat accumulation. At the same time, it can relieve stress and fatigue, enhance the body's immunity, and improve the body's resistance. Tuina is usually used in combination with diet and exercise, which helps with weight loss and reduces the possibility of rebound.

  4. Magnetic Slimming Therapy: Magnetic Slimming Therapy uses advanced magnetic technology to specifically stimulate the human body's meridian acupoints, help solve stubborn fat problems, promote natural fat burning process, and control diet and exercise to increase the body's metabolic rate and accelerate the body's fat consumption rate.
