I'm afraid of the yo-yo effect after dieting. How can I maintain my weight healthily?

Preventing the yo-yo effect requires properly activating your body's 'metabolic switch' rather than simply restricting food intake. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we focus on the following systematic approach: 1. Constitutional Diagnosis and Metabolic Analysis: It is crucial to identify your specific constitution. We determine if you have a Spleen Deficiency (脾虛, Bi-heo), characterized by poor digestive capacity, or if your body is burdened by accumulated metabolic waste. 2. Removal of Dam-eum and Eo-hyeol: We focus on clearing 'Dam-eum' (痰飮, abnormal fluid accumulation) and 'Eo-hyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis). When these waste products block the flow of Qi and Blood, metabolism remains sluggish regardless of how little you eat. 3. Preserving Basal Metabolic Rate: The goal is to reduce body fat while preserving muscle mass. By using customized herbal medicine to enhance metabolism, we prevent the body from entering a 'starvation mode' that triggers rapid weight regain. 4. Gradual Dietary Transition: A 'buffer period' is necessary when transitioning back to a regular diet while tapering off herbal support. A sudden return to previous eating habits can shock the system and trigger rapid fat accumulation. Ultimately, the key to preventing the yo-yo effect is restoring internal balance. Rather than focusing solely on reducing numbers on a scale, the goal is to optimize your constitution to maintain an ideal weight naturally.
