Many people struggle with bloating or fatigue when forcing themselves to eat only chicken breast for diet management. Rather than simply increasing protein intake, you must first determine if your body can actually process and absorb those nutrients. 1. Assessing Digestive Health: We first check for 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), a state of Spleen deficiency or weakened digestive function. If you consume excessive meat while your digestive power is low, it leads to the accumulation of 'Dameum' (痰飮)—the stagnation of metabolic waste—which can cause bloating, swelling, and a feeling of heaviness. 2. Diversifying Protein Sources: Start with proteins that are easier on the digestive system, such as white fish, tofu, and legumes. Once your body adapts, you can gradually introduce lean meats. 3. Optimizing Cooking Methods: Instead of eating raw or dry-grilled meats, try steaming or boiling them. This reduces the burden on the stomach and increases the absorption rate. 4. Pairing with Warming Ingredients: When consuming proteins with 'cold' properties, pair them with warming ingredients like ginger or garlic. This promotes the circulation of Qi and Blood, preventing the formation of 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis) and ensuring a smooth metabolism. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure nutrients are absorbed while the body remains in a comfortable state. I recommend visiting the clinic so we can evaluate your current digestive health and tailor a plan for you.
