📝 Detailed Answer
To be honest, I’ve tried extreme fasting myself in the past. I remember feeling dizzy and struggling with a severe drop in concentration at work; having made those mistakes, I understand the struggle. Unconditional calorie restriction eventually returns as a boomerang in the form of the 'yo-yo effect.'
The advantages of TKM weight loss are clear. First, it boosts the energy of those with Spleen Deficiency (脾虛), where weakened spleen function leads to a sluggish metabolism. Additionally, it aids circulation by removing 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis) and 'Dameum' (痰飮, phlegm-fluid retention/metabolic waste) accumulated in the body. The core principle is not to force yourself to endure hunger, but to change the internal environment of the body to regulate appetite naturally.
Of course, there are drawbacks. Those sensitive to the unique scent or taste of herbal medicine may find it difficult at first. Furthermore, if potent medicinal herbs are used without considering an individual's constitution, it can lead to discomfort such as heart palpitations or insomnia. This is why I believe there is no such thing as a 'perfect medicine for everyone.'
Ultimately, the method I recommend is 'filling the gaps in your own body first.' The approach must differ completely depending on whether you have very low digestive power, severe edema, or depleted vitality following the use of conventional pharmaceutical diet pills.
I suggest starting by accurately assessing your body's current state. Once we determine your specific condition, I will work with you to find the most effective direction.
