Q. I'm curious about how to lose weight in a month. Please tell me an effective diet method.

One month is a short period for the body to accept major changes. I myself have experienced rebound weight gain after crash dieting, which can be dizzying. Instead, I recommend using this time to read your body's signals. In Traditional Korean Medicine, obesity is categorized into three main causes. First, Spleen Deficiency (Pi Xu) — when the spleen's function weakens, it fails to properly convert food into energy, storing it as fat instead. Symptoms include morning puffiness, poor digestion, and fatigue. Second, Phlegm-Dampness (Tan Yin) — metabolic waste accumulates throughout the body, leading to weight gain, abnormal appetite, phlegm, and oily skin. Third, Blood Stasis (Yu Xue) — poor blood circulation hinders nutrient delivery and waste removal, creating an environment where fat is hard to eliminate. If you plan a one-month diet, instead of blindly cutting calories, check these three patterns. For example, at a Korean Medicine clinic, pulse diagnosis (maekjin) and tongue diagnosis (seoljin) are used to determine Spleen Deficiency, Phlegm-Dampness, or Blood Stasis, and treatments are personalized. However, I cannot guarantee that a specific method will definitely work — individual responses vary, and promising exaggerated results in a short time violates medical law. Instead, correcting the root cause often leads to natural weight regulation. The most important thing is understanding why your body stores fat. Use this checklist as a first step, and feel free to ask further questions in a clinical setting. You don't have to figure it out alone.
