While conventional diets focus on reducing 'Input' (calorie restriction), Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) focuses on optimizing 'Output' (metabolic efficiency). The core philosophy is that the cause of weight gain varies by individual constitution. For instance, some patients suffer from 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid retention), where accumulated waste hinders circulation and causes bloating. Others may have 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis), which slows down the overall metabolism. Those with 'Bi-heo' (Spleen deficiency/weak digestive function) often experience a sharp drop in energy when fasting, leading to premature failure of the diet. Instead of merely prescribing what to avoid, TKM identifies the specific factors hindering your metabolism. By replenishing deficient Qi and expelling stagnant waste, TKM creates an optimal internal environment where the body can naturally burn fat. Rather than relying solely on willpower, this approach involves 'tuning the body's engine' to ensure sustainable weight loss and improved body composition.
