Which is better: dieting to match an InBody body-fat percentage reading or a regular diet?
InBody values are estimates affected by measurement conditions and water status. Review weight, waist, fitness, symptoms, goals, and sustainability rather than chasing one number.
A device reading can vary with measurement conditions and hydration, so one body-fat percentage cannot explain the whole cause or outcome. Track trends under similar conditions with food, activity, and fatigue.
Korean medicine may interpret swelling and circulation discomfort as phlegm-fluid retention (痰飮) or blood stasis (瘀血), and digestive and energy decline as spleen qi deficiency (脾虛). This does not confirm a cause from the number or guarantee loss.
Build a plan that protects nutrition and recovery after considering goals, conditions, medicines, food preferences, and activity. If the reading conflicts with your condition or fatigue and dizziness recur, seek assessment rather than restricting further.
