To be honest, I often find myself filling my own shopping cart at Olive Young during sale seasons. I even have a history of trying to survive solely on diet snacks, only to end up feeling dizzy and eventually binge-eating late at night. The greatest advantage of diet snacks is that they provide 'psychological comfort' and help prevent 'binge eating.' When you have a strong craving, a low-calorie protein chip or konjac jelly can be enough to suppress the immediate urge. Nowadays, the ingredients are relatively clean, making them a reasonable choice for busy professionals. However, there are clear precautions from the perspective of Traditional Korean Medicine. Excessive consumption of processed snacks can lead to the accumulation of Phlegm-fluid (Dameum), which is a type of metabolic waste that builds up when bodily fluids fail to circulate properly. If artificial sweeteners disrupt the gut environment, it leads to Spleen Deficiency (Biheo), weakening the digestive system and potentially changing your constitution into one that gains weight more easily. Rather than cutting them out entirely, use them strategically. If 'fake hunger' becomes unbearable, these snacks can help. However, if you frequently experience poor digestion or abdominal bloating, I recommend natural foods like warm tea or nuts instead. Please remember that fundamental appetite control begins with gathering and balancing your body's Qi, rather than just choosing the right snack.
