Body Constitution

Q. How can I start a diet tailored to my specific constitution?

A.

The first step is accurately assessing your current physical condition. Rather than simply eating less, we identify the underlying causes of why your body has become prone to weight gain. At Baekrokdam, we guide you step-by-step from constitutional diagnosis to personalized prescriptions. If you have struggled with extreme fasting, you will find this approach of restoring bodily balance to be much more sustainable and comfortable.

📝 Detailed Answer

I have personally experienced the dizziness and exhaustion that come from extreme fasting, and speaking from experience, diets that ignore your unique constitution inevitably hit a wall called the 'yo-yo effect.' To prevent this, Baekrokdam follows a systematic process for constitutional weight management: 1. Constitutional and Physical Diagnosis: We assess the accumulation of Eohyeol (瘀血, stagnant blood) and Dameum (痰飮, accumulated metabolic waste). This explains why different people experience swelling in different areas and gain weight in different patterns. 2. Metabolic Function Check: We specifically examine whether you are in a state of Bi-heo (脾虛, Spleen deficiency). When the digestive and absorptive functions are impaired, nutrients are not converted into energy and are instead more likely to be stored as fat. 3. Tailored Prescription: Based on the diagnosis, we compose a herbal formula to replenish deficient Qi and eliminate excess waste. The core objective is to restore the overall balance of your body. 4. Lifestyle Correction: We suggest a diet and activity level suited to your constitution. It is crucial to start with an exercise intensity that your body can realistically handle rather than pushing yourself too hard. 5. Continuous Monitoring: We finely tune the prescriptions by observing your body's reactions, as your physiological state can shift depending on your environment. Ultimately, weight loss is not about fighting against your body, but about helping your body optimize its own metabolism. Please visit us for a comfortable consultation to find the best path for you.
