Q. What is the best diet method for my specific constitution? Please give me some recommendations.

Many people who have experienced repeated diet failures aren't necessarily doing it 'wrong,' but are likely wearing 'clothes that don't fit'—meaning they are using a method not suited to their body. Before becoming an Oriental Medical Doctor, I also went through trial and error with trendy diets, which often left me feeling dizzy and depleted. At Baekrokdam, we categorize personalized weight loss strategies into four primary perspectives based on your constitution: 1. Those with low energy and weak digestion: This is viewed as Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo). When the spleen's function is impaired, the body cannot utilize energy efficiently. Starving in this state leads only to muscle loss. We recommend a strategy that replenishes vital energy while boosting metabolism. 2. Those prone to bloating and heaviness: This is caused by the accumulation of Phlegm-Fluid (Dam-eum). In this state, waste products are stagnant, hindering circulation. Rather than simply cutting calories, the priority is to remove 'damp-phlegm' and open the body's circulatory pathways. 3. Those with high stress and heat rising to the upper body: This is a constitution with excessive Heart Fire (Sim-hwa). Stress can trigger 'false hunger,' leading to binge eating. An approach that cools internal heat and stabilizes the mind is necessary to naturally regulate appetite. 4. Those with poor circulation and localized weight gain: This is analyzed through the lens of Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol). When 'turbid blood' stagnates, metabolism drops. Prescriptions that purify the blood and promote circulation are helpful to activate overall systemic metabolism. Ultimately, the first step is understanding where your body is blocked or deficient. When you visit the clinic, I will examine your pulse and consult with you to develop the most effective 'customized strategy' for your current needs.
