How does carefully controlling even a single sauce in my diet differ from a Korean-medicine diet? I do not know what suits me.
Rather than limiting sauce to a drop, check its type and amount and manage total daily calories, sugars, and sodium. Focus on repeatable criteria for choices instead of restricting one meal.
Calories, sugars, and sodium in sauces and dressings vary greatly by product, so read the nutrition label and use only the amount needed. Total food intake, the balance of protein and vegetables, drinks, and snacks may affect weight more than sauce on one meal.
A Korean-medicine diet is not a substitute for eating and activity either. If considering a prescription, review your current health and medicines, and adjust goals so excessive restriction does not cause food anxiety or binge eating.
Even a low-sodium product can increase intake when used in large amounts. Build a measuring habit and judge the total for the day, including restaurant meals and snacks.
