📝 Detailed Answer
I’ve actually gone through a phase of being obsessed with dieting and tried everything myself, so I understand. To give you a straight answer: whether I recommend this depends entirely on your individual body constitution.
The advantages are clear. You get pure protein without additives, and it's convenient to store, making it ideal for busy professionals who want to maintain muscle mass while managing their weight.
However, there are points to consider from a TKM perspective. Dried foods have a strong tendency to deplete 'Jin-yeok' (vital body fluids). If you are in a state of 'Bi-heo' (Spleen Deficiency), where digestive functions are weakened, you must be extra careful. Consuming hard proteins when the body is lacking moisture can strain the stomach, potentially worsening indigestion or constipation.
Furthermore, those who suffer from excessive internal heat or a feeling of chest oppression should be cautious, as dried foods can exacerbate internal heat. Those with accumulated 'Dam-eum' (phlegm-rheum/metabolic waste) may feel that waste products are building up further in the body.
Ultimately, there is no one-size-fits-all answer. For someone with a strong digestive system and a cold constitution, this is a great snack. But for those who frequently feel bloated or have a dry mouth, I wouldn't recommend it. If you're curious whether this fits your specific constitution, please feel free to visit the clinic so we can discuss it together.
