What four-step process does a clinic use for dieting that repeatedly fails?
The four stages are: clear phlegm-fluid and blood stasis; review weak digestion and energy to support metabolism; regulate appetite; and settle weight and habits. Pace is adjusted to status.
First, clear the retained waste and circulation problems viewed as phlegm-fluid and blood stasis. Next, check weak spleen function and low energy and consider a metabolic direction.
Third, review qi-blood and energy to stabilize appetite rather than forcing restraint; the source checks the cause of false hunger. Fourth, help habits and bodily homeostasis adapt to the new weight.
The four stages do not give everyone the same prescription or result. Prioritize condition and sustainability over speed, and report symptoms, medications, and habits so the clinician can adjust.
