Acupuncture to slim down

Acupuncture is supposed to assist in curbing your appetite & increasing metabolism. With acupuncture + a 1000 calories diet plan .. then you will lose weight...

I am not sure if it helps to get rid of water retention.. Afterall.. the weight loss program is supposed to work hand in hand to achieve weight loss... I read in the internet that changes within your body which lead to water retention are intimately linked to what you eat. They can be set off by any of the following:

1) Regularly eating too much salt and/or sugar
2) Not eating enough fresh fruit and vegetables
3) High levels of wastes or toxins in your body
4) Taking certain commonly-prescribed medications
5) Long-term use of very low-calorie diets, which tend to be deficient in protein and other nutrients
6) Food intolerances (similar to allergies)
7) Lack of exercise
