I personally experienced the cycle of late-night snacking and weight gain during my own student years, so I know exactly how it feels when your body feels heavy and your head feels foggy. Having gone through a lot of trial and error myself, I strongly advise students against fad diets or starvation. The core of Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) diet management lies in 'personalized regulation.' We focus on clearing 'Dam-eum' (痰飮)—metabolic waste and fluid accumulation in the body—to make you feel lighter. Specifically, when there is a 'Spleen Deficiency' (脾虛), digestive power drops while 'false hunger' increases; we target this imbalance to stabilize your appetite. Of course, there are precautions. Using potent herbs that do not align with your constitution can cause heart palpitations or insomnia, which would be detrimental to a student needing deep concentration. Furthermore, relying solely on herbal medicine while neglecting your diet can lead to a significant yo-yo effect. Ultimately, the answer depends on your current physical state. Prescriptions vary completely depending on whether you have weak digestion or struggle with stress-induced binge eating. Rather than following trends, I recommend visiting the clinic for a constitutional diagnosis. We will find a way to shed the weight while keeping your cognitive energy fully charged for your studies.
