When an abdominal-obesity measure is high, in what order does Korean-medicine weight management proceed?
First identify the measure and its conditions, such as waist circumference or body composition, then assess diet, activity, symptoms, and health and adjust the plan by response.
Confirm whether the abdominal-obesity figure is waist circumference or a body-composition result and when and under what conditions it was measured. Do not use one number to conclude the cause of fat or health; record weight with diet, sleep, and activity.
Korean medicine may view swelling and heaviness as dam-eum (痰飮), circulatory discomfort as eohyeol (瘀血), and reduced digestion and energy as piheo (脾虛). These are clinical interpretations of a state, not guarantees of a pattern or weight loss.
Care reviews goals, history, medicines, dietary responses, and feasible activity, then reassesses the plan. If the figure and your condition differ, or pain or severe fatigue occurs, check the cause rather than restricting more.
