I have also experienced the struggle of relying solely on chicken breasts and intense workouts, only to feel dizzy and watch the weight bounce back immediately. Through that experience, I realized that the reason for weight gain differs for every individual. Traditional Korean Medicine does not simply count calories; it looks at the 'accumulated waste' within the body. For example, we address 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis), where circulation is blocked, and 'Dameum' (痰飮, phlegm-fluid retention), where metabolic waste obstructs the flow of Qi. When these conditions exist, weight loss is difficult regardless of how little you eat. Furthermore, if someone has 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, Spleen deficiency/weakened digestive function), overly restrictive dieting can exhaust the body rather than reduce fat. While conventional dieting is often about 'inputting less and outputting more,' TKM management is about creating a 'body that burns efficiently.' Using customized herbal medicine tailored to your constitution (Sasang typology), we raise the basal metabolic rate and clear edema to essentially 'rehabilitate the soil' of your body. This ensures that your body can maintain its weight even after returning to a normal diet. Of course, herbal medicine is not a magic pill that solves everything. However, if you have consistently struggled and blamed your own lack of willpower, I suggest looking into your body's 'engine'—your metabolic state—first.
