Q. I keep experiencing the yo-yo effect even after successful dieting. How can I create a body that doesn't easily gain weight?

Many people struggle with the yo-yo effect, which is often not a matter of willpower but a result of one's 'constitution' (Sasang) and metabolic state. At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we prevent weight regain through a systematic, four-step approach: 1. Constitutional Diagnosis and Addressing Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo): We first determine if you suffer from 'Spleen Deficiency,' where the digestive system's inability to efficiently process nutrients leads to fat accumulation instead of energy production. 2. Removal of Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol) and Phlegm-Fluid (Dam-eum): We clear 'Blood Stasis' (stagnant blood) and 'Phlegm-Fluid' (accumulated metabolic waste). Much like clearing debris from a highway to ensure smooth traffic, removing these wastes is essential for a fluid metabolism. 3. Restoration of Basal Metabolic Rate: Through customized herbal medicine, we create an internal environment where the body can burn energy naturally without the need for extreme fasting. Using herbs tailored to your constitution ensures this process is safe and effective. 4. Optimizing Diet Based on Constitution: Instead of blindly following low-calorie diets, we identify ingredients that suit your specific body type. Depending on the constitution, some individuals metabolize proteins better, while others benefit more from plant-based foods. Ultimately, a 'body that doesn't gain weight' is one that has achieved a state of balance tailored to its own constitution. Rather than struggling alone, we invite you to find a sustainable solution with our professional guidance.
