📝 Detailed Answer
Many people try to lose weight through extreme calorie restriction, but this often leads to fatigue and dizziness. In TKM, we believe that simply eating less is not the solution; instead, we focus on the body's internal balance. At Baekrokdam Clinic, we follow these specific stages:
1. Clearing Stagnation: We first remove 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis) and 'Dameum' (痰飮, phlegm-fluid retention). When these waste products accumulate, your metabolism remains sluggish regardless of your diet.
2. Strengthening Digestive Function: If you are in a state of 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, Spleen deficiency), your energy levels will drop, making it easy to give up. We enhance digestive functions to ensure your body converts nutrients into energy effectively.
3. Appetite Control and Metabolic Boost: Using herbal medicine tailored to your constitution, we suppress 'false hunger' and increase core body temperature to create an environment conducive to fat burning.
4. Preserving Muscle Mass: Excessive weight loss often leads to muscle loss. We supplement your 'Qi' and Blood to prevent your basal metabolic rate from dropping.
With a body fat percentage of 26%, you likely already have some level of management in place. At this stage, normalizing your body's internal mechanisms is more important than simply lowering the numbers on the scale. Let's work together to achieve a sustainable balance.
