I'm struggling with my diet, so I've been eating mostly chicken breast. How does your clinic help with weight loss?

Relying solely on chicken breast can lead to quick burnout. Rather than simply restricting calories, we first boost your body's metabolic capacity. Using herbal medicine tailored to your constitution, we suppress false hunger and cleanse internal waste, guiding you through a step-by-step process to make dietary management feel natural.

Many patients arrive following the 'chicken breast and sweet potato' formula, but digestive capacity varies greatly from person to person. For some, this rigid diet leads to bloating and extreme fatigue, which in Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) is viewed as 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), or a deficiency in the Spleen's function. Baengnokdam Clinic approaches weight loss differently to prevent such inefficiency: 1. Constitutional Diagnosis and Metabolic Check: We examine the accumulation of 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, stagnant blood) and 'Dameum' (痰飮, accumulated phlegm/waste). If the body's 'engine' is clogged with metabolic waste, even a perfect diet will not yield efficient results. 2. Appetite Control and Metabolic Stimulation: Our herbal prescriptions calm excessive cravings and increase your basal metabolic rate. The goal is not forced starvation, but transforming your body into a state where it can circulate energy efficiently even with reduced food intake. 3. Personalized Dietary Guidance: We do not push for blindly low-calorie diets. We tailor a plan based on your digestive strength. For those with Spleen deficiency (Bi-heo), incorporating warm-natured foods to restore digestive function is crucial to minimizing the yo-yo effect. 4. Overcoming Plateaus and Maintenance: Plateaus occur as the body adapts to a new environment. At this stage, we recalibrate the herbal ingredients to re-stimulate metabolism and help you reach your goal healthily. Ultimately, the key is finding a 'diet that your specific body can sustain.' Instead of struggling alone, let us find the right path together.
