My InBody results show a very high abdominal fat percentage. What diet method would be best for me?

Rather than simply cutting calories, it is essential to first assess your body's metabolic state. While herbal medicine is effective for suppressing appetite and eliminating waste, it may cause discomfort if not tailored to your specific constitution. Since there is no one-size-fits-all answer, please choose a method that aligns with your current physical condition.

Many people start by drastically restricting food intake, but this often leads to fatigue and dizziness without achieving sustainable weight loss. When dealing with abdominal fat, the first step is to identify the 'stagnation points' in your body. The primary advantage of Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) dieting is personalized prescription. Instead of merely suppressing hunger, TKM focuses on improving the body's overall metabolic environment by removing 'Dam-eum' (phlegm-fluid retention) and 'Eo-hyeol' (blood stasis), which are metabolic wastes that hinder circulation. However, there are considerations to keep in mind. Depending on the herbal ingredients, some patients may experience dryness of the mouth or insomnia. Additionally, the perceived cost of herbal medicine can sometimes be a psychological burden. Ultimately, the best method depends entirely on your current health status. For example, if you have 'Bi-heo' (Spleen Deficiency/weak digestive function), using overly potent stimulants may cause gastrointestinal distress. Rather than stressing over this alone, I encourage you to visit the clinic for a consultation so we can find the most sustainable and gentle approach for your specific body type.
