Even practitioners sometimes experience intense cravings due to stress. Trying to suppress these cravings entirely often leads to binge eating, which can be more detrimental. I recommend a 'smart compromise' strategy. First, prioritize grilled beef or chicken breast patties over fried options and try removing one side of the bun to reduce refined carbohydrates. Replacing soda with sparkling water or black coffee significantly reduces sugar intake, leaving you feeling lighter. Conversely, avoid menus drenched in sweet teriyaki sauce or mayonnaise, and try to steer clear of French fries. If you absolutely cannot resist the fries, try limiting yourself to half a portion. From the perspective of Traditional Korean Medicine, excessive consumption of flour and greasy foods during a diet easily leads to the formation of 'Dameum' (痰飮), a state where metabolic waste accumulates and stagnates in the body. Patients with 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), or a deficient Spleen/digestive system, may find that even a single hamburger leaves them feeling bloated and lethargic. The ultimate answer lies in observing your own body's reaction. Notice which specific ingredients cause swelling or indigestion. If your dietary restrictions feel too painful or you've hit a weight-loss plateau, please visit the clinic for a consultation tailored to your specific constitution (Sasang typology).
