Q. I heard the soy milk diet is trending lately. How should I approach it from a Traditional Korean Medicine perspective?
In Traditional Korean Medicine, we prioritize the 'sequence' of awakening metabolism over simple calorie restriction. It is essential to first clear out metabolic wastes like Blood Stasis (Eohyeol), then reinforce the digestive system and follow a diet tailored to your constitution. Rather than reckless fasting, the focus should be on healthy detoxification while monitoring your body's vital energy (Qi) to ensure a sustainable and balanced weight loss process.
