Q. I'm thinking about trying a one-food diet, like eating only cabbage. How does a Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) clinic approach this?
In the past, I also tried fasting or eating only one type of food to lose weight quickly, but it only left me feeling dizzy and exhausted. TKM does not focus solely on calorie restriction; instead, we prioritize your body's digestive efficiency and metabolic capacity. Since extreme restriction is unsustainable, we recommend a gradual approach using a constitution-based diet supported by herbal medicine.
