I've actually tried eating only fruit for a diet in the past, but it caused my blood sugar to spike and crash, which only made me hungrier. It was quite an exhausting experience! (laughs) From the perspective of Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), it is important to consider the properties of the fruit in relation to your body's internal balance: 1. Formation of Dam-eum (痰飮): When the sugars in fruit are not properly metabolized, they can transform into 'Dam-eum'—a type of metabolic waste or phlegm-fluid. This can lead to a feeling of heaviness and bloating in the body. 2. Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo, 脾虛): For those with a 'Bi-heo' state (weakened digestive/spleen function), consuming fruits with 'cold' properties can further impair digestive power. This slows down overall metabolism, making it harder to lose weight. 3. Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol, 瘀血) and Blood Glucose: Sudden intake of sugars can disrupt blood circulation, potentially leading to 'Eo-hyeol' (blood stasis) or reducing metabolic efficiency. 4. Timing of Consumption: I recommend consuming small amounts after a meal or during the day when your physical activity is highest, rather than on an empty stomach. I am not suggesting you avoid fruit entirely. However, you should adjust your intake based on whether your body is currently prone to Dam-eum or experiencing Spleen Deficiency. When you visit the clinic, I will conduct a thorough assessment of your current body condition to provide a personalized guide.
