To be honest, I've tried almost every trending diet method when I was younger. I've experienced the cycle of extreme fasting and relying on supplements, only to end up with insomnia and dizziness, so I truly understand how you feel. Speaking from my own trial-and-error experience, I want to be candid with you. The advantage of over-the-counter supplements is their accessibility and convenience. They can provide quick results by temporarily suppressing appetite or aiding bowel movements. However, the downside is clear: they use a 'one-size-fits-all' approach. Because they don't account for your specific physiological state, what acts as a restorative tonic for one person may act as a toxin for another. From a Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) perspective, the root cause of weight gain differs for everyone. Some may suffer from 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), where a deficiency in spleen function slows down metabolism. Others may have weight issues caused by 'Dam-eum' (痰飮, phlegm-fluid retention) or 'Eo-hyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis) resulting from poor circulation. If someone in a 'Bi-heo' state takes strong appetite suppressants, their vital energy (Qi) may deplete further, potentially leading to a more severe yo-yo effect later on. Ultimately, the answer lies in 'making a choice that fits your state.' Instead of searching for the most expensive or famous product, it is more efficient to first identify why your body is holding onto weight.
