Why might my weight seem to rise over time when I keep eating only chicken breast, and how might Korean medicine approach it?
Reducing calories with chicken breast alone can still leave diet balance and digestion mismatched, making weight seem stalled or higher. Review digestion, energy, and meal balance together.
Keeping chicken breast as the only food provides protein but makes the overall pattern narrow. Record intake, digestion, activity, and body changes together before deciding why weight feels stalled or higher.
Korean medicine may describe reduced digestion and energy after a prolonged high-protein pattern as piheo, heaviness or swelling as dam-eum, and circulatory discomfort as eohyeol. This explains a state clinically; it does not guarantee that a particular diet or herbal medicine restores metabolism.
Care can review digestion, fatigue, meal composition, activity, history, and medicines and adjust the amount of vegetables or grains added beyond chicken breast. If dizziness, reduced energy, or swelling continues, do not restrict further; review the cause with a clinician.
