📝 Detailed Answer
I have personally experienced the obsession with numbers during past diets, even trying extreme fasting. The result? I damaged my health and the weight returned almost immediately; it was a complete waste of effort.
In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we don't simply aim to reduce weight; we first analyze why your body has developed a constitution prone to weight gain. Here is the step-by-step approach:
1. Removal of Metabolic Waste: We first discharge 'Dameum' (痰飮), which refers to accumulated fluids and metabolic waste in the body. This process is essential to facilitate smooth metabolism.
2. Improving Blood Circulation: We resolve 'Eohyeol' (瘀血), or blood stasis, to ensure nutrients are delivered efficiently to every cell, creating a body that burns energy effectively.
3. Regulating Digestion and Absorption: Those with 'Biheo' (脾虛), or spleen deficiency, may experience bloating and weight gain even with low caloric intake. We work to restore this function to increase your basal metabolic rate.
4. Constitution-Based Weight Loss: Healthy weight loss begins once these preceding stages are in harmony.
Ultimately, the priority is not 'how fast' you lose weight, but 'how sustainably' you can do so without straining your system. Weight loss speed varies significantly based on an individual's vital energy (Qi) and metabolic capacity. During your visit, we will closely examine your current condition to design an optimal, stress-free plan tailored to you.
