I've been focusing my diet on chicken breast hot bars to lose weight. How does your clinic approach this?
Rather than simply cutting calories, we assess whether your body is in an optimal state to utilize energy. While processed foods like hot bars may offer temporary results, they can diminish digestive function and metabolic efficiency over time. At Baekrokdam, we suggest a stepwise approach tailored to your constitution to create a body that burns energy efficiently.
Many people start their weight loss journey with high ambitions, only to end up feeling bloated and exhausted by relying solely on one type of food. Restrictive dieting or monotonous eating patterns often disrupt the body's internal balance.
From the perspective of Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we take the following stepwise approach:
1. Digestive Assessment: We first check for Spleen Deficiency (脾虛, Bi-heo). If digestive power is weak, even high-quality proteins cannot be absorbed properly and may instead remain in the body as Phlegm-Fluid (痰飮, Dam-eum), which are metabolic waste products.
2. Resolving Metabolic Stagnation: We work to improve conditions of Blood Stasis (瘀血, Eo-hyeol). When blood circulation is stagnant, nutrients are not delivered effectively to the tissues, leading to a constitution where weight loss becomes difficult.
3. Diet Optimization: We shift the focus from processed foods (like hot bars) to unprocessed, whole foods, selecting ingredients that align with your specific Sasang constitution (e.g., Tae-eumin, Soyangin).
4. Improving Energy Efficiency: Through customized herbal medicine, we regulate your basal metabolic rate and create an internal environment where the body can spontaneously burn energy.
The core principle is moving from 'what to eat less' to 'how to burn more efficiently.' By accurately understanding your body's current state, you can achieve healthy weight management without the yo-yo effect. Please visit us so we can analyze your condition together.
