Q. I'm finding it so hard to stick to a diet of just chicken breast. How do Traditional Korean Medicine clinics specifically approach and start diet management?

It is common to feel exhausted by repetitive, restrictive dieting. Rather than simply eating less, the priority is to flip your 'metabolic switch' back on through a structured Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) approach. 1. First, we identify internal toxins. If weight loss has stalled, 'Damyum' (accumulated metabolic waste from stagnant body fluids) is often the culprit, blocking the circulation of Qi and Blood. 2. Next is detoxification. Before starting a full meal plan, we clear out 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis) and Damyum to lighten the body's load and make dietary adjustments easier. 3. We must address 'Spleen Deficiency' (Bi-heo). When Spleen function is weak, the body fails to convert food into energy, turning it into fat instead. We provide guidance to warm the digestive system and improve nutrient transformation. 4. Personalization based on Sasang Constitution is essential. For example, 'Tae-eumin' types benefit from root vegetables that help disperse energy, while 'So-eumin' types, who often have cold dispositions, should focus on warm, cooked vegetables. 5. Finally, we focus on habit formation. Using herbal medicine (Hanyak) to manage appetite, we work together to balance carbohydrates, proteins, and fats rather than resorting to extreme fasting.
