Hi Thyme,
Acupuncture has many benefits as well as eating right. When it comes to eating right you have to know which foods work best for your body and, the way to do that is to work with a Health Coach or a Naturopath. You need to have the elimination diet test done on you to figure out what foods work best with your body and which ones don't. Also, getting on a good herbal program will aid exponentially in your weightloss. However, you do need to be monitored to make sure that everything you are doing is working and you are not having any adverse effects.
