Q. I travel frequently for work, so managing my diet is nearly impossible. Is it still possible to lose weight in this situation?

I completely understand how you feel; I've had experiences in the past where a rigid meal plan fell apart during a trip, leading to a feeling of defeat. For working professionals who cannot easily control their environment, the focus should shift from 'what not to eat' to 'how the body processes what is eaten.' In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we prioritize clearing 'Dameum' (痰飮, abnormal fluid accumulation and waste products) and 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, stagnant blood or blood stasis). When these pathways are blocked, weight loss becomes difficult regardless of how little you eat. Furthermore, irregular meals during travel often lead to 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, deficiency of the Spleen/digestive system). When Spleen function is weakened, energy metabolism drops, making you prone to bloating and fatigue even with small meals. Therefore, the goal is to enhance digestive power and boost metabolism rather than simply fasting. Here is a practical checklist for your business trips: ✓ Change your eating order: Try eating vegetables → protein → carbohydrates. This is the simplest way to prevent blood sugar spikes. ✓ Increase hydration: The body tends to tense up in unfamiliar environments, leading to dehydration. Drink warm water frequently. ✓ Light stretching: If you have long transit times, simply rotating your ankles and wrists helps facilitate the circulation of Qi and Blood. By combining these habits with customized herbal medicine tailored to your specific constitution to supplement your metabolic rate, you can overcome environmental constraints. When you visit the clinic, we will accurately diagnose your current condition and determine the most realistic management plan together.
