yes, acupuncture help can get rid of belly fat.
Yes.Diet and exercise too.
Acupuncture can help with weight loss but it needs to be done in conjunction with lifestyle and dietary changes
Yes, but it is important to note that it will not if dietary and lifestyle changes are not implemented as well.
It can help
I surely wish it could, but I'm afraid only diet and exercise can get rid of belly fat.
Acupuncture can promote a healthy metabolism, and can curb your appetite. But, I couldn't say that it directly gets rid of belly fat. No.
No. Not directly. It depends on why you are overweight. If it is due to sedentary lifestyle... no. If it is due to stress, and the acupuncture reduces the stress and therefore modulates cortisol {the stress hormone} then yes it can help. But you must exercise and eat a balanced diet for you to lose belly fat.

Not by itself, no. But acupuncturists are trained in diet and nutrition to help you beyond just using acupuncture.
Acupuncture can regulate your body organs to help get rid of belly fat.

“In a new study in the Journal Acupuncture in Medicine, folks who got acupuncture for eight weeks saw a 6% reduction in BMI, a smaller waist circumference, and a loss in overall body fat. "Stimulating specific points can help suppress appetite and increase metabolism.”
Acupuncture helps adrenal and kidney functioning, thereby reducing stress hormone levels like cortisol in the body,
Excessive cortisol stress hormones are linked to belly fat weight gain and food cravings.

Difficult questions as there are so many approaches to get the results you're asking about. Personally, I love the cold sculpting procedures combined with Eastern medicine to get those results and keep the investment in yourself moving forward.
Yes, it works pretty good with herbs, but you need to spend time with it.
If it can, I am unaware of how to achieve this. I only know of the tried and true method of diet and exercise. I know of many acupuncture protocols that target appetite, but eliminating fat, no. Good luck!
Thank you for your question. It is great you are searching for ways to improve your health and feel good about yourself. There is no acupuncture treatment for abdominal fat, per se. Weight loss generally requires support from many health professionals. Abdominal fat can be challenging. Research has shown chronic stress can make losing abdominal fat difficult. Hence, indirectly acupuncture can help in this circumstance by addressing stress relief. Diet and exercise are the key to weight loss, and having someone support you in sticking wit your goals and how to set them in a way that you find success over disappointments. Another thing that gets missed with weight loss is good and consistent sleep. Acupuncture in some instances may help with this.

Acupuncture itself might not be too successful, though with mild diet changes and some exercise, acupuncture may help expedite the process.
Acupuncture can be very helpful and is most effective when working with dietary, exercise, and lifestyle counselling.
No.
Yes, it can. Acupuncture can help you lose belly fat but will not do it alone. It is a joint force battle!
Be well, be confident, we can help.

It is impossible to remove fat "locally" by any means. To rid yourself of belly fat, you need to lower the fat content of your entire body. Acupuncture can help assist you in your goals, but there will also need to be dietary changes and physical activity. The acupuncturist can help you find a good combination of activities, dietary suggestions, herbal formulas and acupuncture to help you reach your goal.
Be sure to find a licensed acupuncturist in your area (L.Ac.) and find someone who works on weight loss - not all practitioners will do this. Also be aware that there is no magic treatment for losing fat, it is a process.
Good luck.

Yes! Acupuncture can increased the metabolism to decreased belly fat. However, acupuncture works best with the combination of diet and exercise.
Yes.
Just like you can't spot exercise (in other words, lots of crunches won't build a 6-pack), acupuncture is more of a systemic treatment. Studies have shown that acupuncture helps to manage insulin and blood sugar and also plays a role in regulating leptin, ghrelin and cholecystokinin - all of which play a role in hunger, satiety and what your body does with excess calories.
The honest truth, though, is that 80% of all weight loss happens in the kitchen. My patients seem to get the best results with a low-carb style diet.
Can a person use acupuncture to enhance a solid diet and exercise program? Yes. Can acupuncture replace a solid diet and exercise program? No.
