3. Function of the exercise

Keep-fitness exercise has three functions. If applied together with strict diet, the functions will result in reducing the weight quickly and effectively. The simple dietotherapy may bring about two problems. One is that nobody can stand the sense of hunger; the other is that side effects produced by diet are not easy to cure. This explains the low efficiency in losing weight and harm done to people's health simply by dietotherapy.

One of the functions of keep-fitness exercise is to make people lose or greatly decrease their sense of hunger, so that they eat less. Only a little vegetable or fruit and a small amount of protein will suffice. Eating less or not eating will produce side effects, but they can be eliminated or greatly reduced by the other two functions and the special qi dispensed by a qigong master during teaching. Even with no sense of hunger and no side effects when eating little, one can still work, study and live as usual. Meanwhile, one consumes his surplus fat which serves as the source of energy, thus losing weight efficiently. Because the qigong itself has a miraculous energy characteristic, in addition to energy and nutrition produced by consuming the body's own fat during the exercise, the average user of the technique will feel more energetic and healthier than before.
