Q. How does a 1-month diet program at a Korean medicine clinic proceed? What changes occur week by week?

A.

In the first week, the body adapts to the herbal medicine as Dampness and Phlegm-fluid are eliminated, leading to a rapid loss of 2–3 kg mainly from water. Weeks 2–3 focus on improving Spleen Deficiency and active fat breakdown, resulting in a stable loss of 0.5–1 kg per week. From week 4, constitutional improvement helps prevent rebound weight gain, and most patients feel noticeably lighter after one month.

📝 Detailed Answer

Dieting is never easy—I know from experience. Starving and exercising often leads to yo-yo effects. At our clinic, we don’t just aim to reduce weight; we address the root cause. The 1-month program is divided into three phases. Week 1 is the 'adjustment phase,' where herbs drain accumulated Dampness and Phlegm-fluid. This causes water loss, dropping 2–3 kg quickly—sometimes dizzying, but it’s a natural adaptation. Weeks 2–3 are the 'digestive phase.' We correct Spleen Deficiency, which slows metabolism, and promote fat breakdown through diet control and spleen-strengthening herbs. Target loss is 0.5–1 kg weekly. Many give up here, but persistence brings real change. From week 4, the 'stabilization phase' uses formulas to improve Qi and blood circulation, preventing re-accumulation of Blood Stasis or Phlegm. This subtly shifts your constitution, so with normal eating habits, rebound weight gain is unlikely. Individual results vary, but after a month, patients often say they feel lighter. Ultimately, one month is just the beginning—but experiencing your body’s response makes future maintenance much easier. Come in anytime for a personal consultation.
