Acupuncture to lose 5 pounds a month!

I recently read an article about acupuncture helping you lose weight. Crazy right? It's said that if you go once weekly  you can lose around 5 pounds because it speeds up your metabolism!  They say it's a painless acupuncture, which I would hope so! They stick your arms, face, legs, belly, etc.

I have never tried this before, so I don't know if it's accurate. If you have the money to cover it then give it a shot!  I would love to lose 5 pounds a month by having painless needles stick me! (No sarcasm intended). I'd love to know if this is true or not.
