Comprehensive medical treatment and traditional methods: chemical weight loss drugs, traditional Chinese medicine formulas, and Qigong weight loss methods
Drug therapy is only an auxiliary measure and is only used for patients who have difficulty accepting dietary control. Chemical drug weight loss methods: (1) Appetite suppressants. These preparations work by stimulating the hypothalamic satiety center and inhibiting the appetite center. Commonly used drugs include fluoroquinolones, which have an appetite-suppressing effect 8 to 10 times stronger than amphetamines and are suitable for patients with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and anxiety. Other drugs include nicotinamide and chlorpheniramine. (2) Biguanides. These drugs are more suitable for diabetic obesity. Commonly used drugs include phenformin and metformin. (3) Thyroxines. They can cause the body to lose heat energy, thereby reducing the weight of obese people.

As long as you strictly follow your doctor's instructions and persevere, losing 10 kilograms within six months is not difficult. After achieving a certain level of weight loss, you will no longer worry about gaining weight from eating.
Qigong Weight Loss Method: Composed of Jade Toad Absorbing Truth Exercise, Lotus Seat Exercise, and Jade Toad Tumbling Waves Exercise. 1. Jade Toad Absorbing Truth Exercise: Sit on a stool or chair, lean forward slightly, lower your head, and place the knuckles of your clenched fist on your forehead. Adjust your mind to enter a relaxed and tranquil state. Breathing method: Inhale, exhale, pause for two seconds, then inhale briefly, repeating this cycle. Throughout the entire breathing process, the chest does not rise and fall; only the abdomen expands and contracts, hence the name Jade Toad Absorbing Truth Exercise or Green Toad Exercise. Practice for about fifteen minutes to conclude the exercise. To conclude, rub your palms together, dry comb your hair, and inhale deeply, feeling cool and refreshed.
2. Lotus Seat Exercise: Place both hands together, palms facing up, in front of the abdomen. Breathing adjustment is divided into three stages: the first stage involves guiding and adjusting the breath to make it deep, long, fine, and even; the second stage involves guiding only the exhalation, not the inhalation; the third stage involves letting both inhalation and exhalation occur naturally. This exercise is beneficial for relieving fatigue and increasing metabolism. 3. Jade Toad Tumbling Exercise: Lie flat on your back with your legs bent. Inhale while expanding your chest and contracting your abdomen; exhale while contracting your chest and expanding your abdomen. This exercise should only be practiced when hungry; "practice whenever you are hungry, do not practice when you are not hungry." Generally, practice 40 times each time, and most people will experience a reduction in hunger. During the qigong weight loss period, lunch and dinner can consist of stir-fried vegetables, not exceeding half a pound. Adhering to this method for one month can result in a weight loss of 5-15 kilograms.
