Is it best to focus on chicken breast and protein for weight loss? What do you recommend?

I once had a period where I ate nothing but chicken breast to build my physique, but eventually, even the smell of it made me feel dizzy and bloated. (Laughs) High-protein diets are certainly effective for preventing muscle loss and providing long-lasting satiety, but there are important precautions to consider. In Traditional Korean Medicine, a state of weakened digestive function is called 'Spleen Deficiency' (Bi-heo). If individuals with weak Spleen Qi insist on a high-protein-only diet, the body may fail to fully process it, leaving behind metabolic residue. This residue is known as 'Phlegm-fluid' (Dameum), which can be thought of as internal waste. When Phlegm-fluid accumulates and hinders the circulation of Qi and Blood, it can lead to 'Blood Stasis' (Eohyeol), potentially creating a constitution that is actually more resistant to weight loss. Therefore, rather than fixating on chicken breast, I recommend choosing proteins that match your digestive capacity. If you often experience digestive discomfort, start with proteins that have a softer texture, such as white-meat fish, tofu, or eggs. Pairing these with warm, cooked vegetables will support Spleen function and significantly improve digestive efficiency. A diet that works for others is not necessarily the right answer for you; it is most important to listen to your body and adjust the type and quantity of food accordingly.
