I'm finding it really hard to quit fast food like hamburgers. How do you guide the diet plan at your clinic?

Rather than demanding strict fasting or sudden abstinence, we focus on whether your body is physiologically prepared to digest such foods. At Baekrokdam, we first enhance your metabolic capacity and guide you through a step-by-step process to eliminate waste, focusing on sustainable dietary habits rather than unsustainable restriction.

I have also relied on hamburgers during busy times. Attempting to cut them out completely during a diet often leads to binge eating and physical exhaustion. Therefore, my approach is based on 'management' rather than 'abandonment.' 1. Assessing Digestive Capacity: We first examine if you have Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo, 脾虛). When high-calorie foods like hamburgers enter a body with weakened digestive functions, they are more likely to remain as toxins. 2. Clearing Phlegm-Fluid (Dameum, 痰飮): We prioritize clearing abnormal bodily fluids and waste products known as 'Dameum.' By organizing these, your body can utilize energy more efficiently and feel less heavy, even when consuming similar calories. 3. 'Subtracting' Instead of Stopping: We start with small changes, such as removing one slice of bun from a burger or replacing soda with warm tea. Sudden dietary shifts are perceived as stress by the brain, which can actually stimulate further cravings. 4. Resolving Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol, 瘀血): When blood circulation is blocked by 'Eo-hyeol,' metabolism slows down, making the body more prone to gaining weight. We work to resolve this to restore your basal metabolic rate to normal. 5. Tuning Psychological Hunger: Strong, sudden cravings are often caused by hormonal imbalances rather than a lack of willpower. By addressing these underlying issues, your reliance on fast food will naturally decrease. Our goal at Baekrokdam is to create a 'body capable of processing food' tailored to your specific physical condition.
