Q. How does the diet program at Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic differ from conventional weight loss methods?
Rather than simple fasting, our approach focuses on removing internal waste and enhancing metabolic function for healthy weight management, with a core focus on personalized prescriptions tailored to each individual's constitution.
📝 Detailed Answer
When repeating diets, many experience plateaus or a lack of energy. This may not be a simple matter of calories, but rather due to Dameum (phlegm-fluid retention)—unnecessary waste products accumulated in the body that can hinder metabolism.
Therefore, we do not simply advise eating less. Instead, we approach weight management from the following perspectives:
- Improving Bi-heo (Spleen Deficiency): By addressing weakened spleen function and low energy metabolism, we aim to help increase the basal metabolic rate.
- Removing Eo-hyeol (Blood Stasis): By clearing stagnant blood that obstructs circulation, we help reduce edema and facilitate smoother systemic circulation.
- Appetite Control: We assist in distinguishing false hunger and managing excessive cravings.
However, since every individual's constitution and current health status differ, it is important to receive an accurate prescription through a professional consultation. We recommend visiting our clinic first to evaluate your current physical condition.
