📝 Detailed Answer
To be honest, I've also gone through a phase of blindly sticking to a chicken-breast-only diet, only to find my energy plummeting and experiencing dizziness. I truly empathize with the hunger and lethargy you might be feeling.
From a TKM perspective, those who find it particularly difficult to lose body fat often suffer from 'Dameum' (痰飮, phlegm-fluid retention) or 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, Spleen deficiency). Dameum refers to a state where metabolic waste products accumulate and stagnate, while Bi-heo occurs when the Spleen function is weakened, hindering the proper absorption and transport of nutrients. If you starve yourself under these conditions, your body perceives a 'state of emergency' and clings to fat even more stubbornly.
One of the greatest advantages of TKM herbal weight loss diets is that they replenish deficient energy to boost metabolism, which naturally helps regulate appetite. However, because every individual's constitution is different, blindly following a diet that worked for others may not be effective. Additionally, there is often an adaptation period where your taste preferences may shift initially.
Therefore, I recommend 'identifying your current bodily state' first. We must check if there is any stagnation in blood circulation, such as 'Eo-hyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis), and evaluate the strength of your digestive system. Only then can we design a customized diet that your body can realistically sustain. Let's discuss specific food recommendations together during your clinic visit.
