I have personally experienced the struggle of trying to lose weight through extreme fasting, only to end up feeling dizzy and unable to function in daily life. Because I've been there, I truly understand my patients' frustrations. TKM weight loss is not simply about shedding pounds; it is a process of clearing 'blockages' within the body. First, those who experience frequent swelling and a sensation of heaviness often have 'Dameum' (痰飮), which refers to the stagnation of metabolic waste products in the body. These patients require prescriptions that promote circulation. Conversely, those with low energy and poor digestion are diagnosed with 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), or Spleen Deficiency. When the Spleen function is weak, restrictive fasting leads to a much faster yo-yo effect; therefore, the focus must be on boosting vitality while increasing metabolism. Additionally, for those with cold extremities due to poor circulation, the priority is removing 'Eohyeol' (瘀血), or blood stasis, to ensure that energy is utilized efficiently. To summarize: 1. Those who struggle with appetite control and high stress $\rightarrow$ Prescriptions to stabilize the mind and body while boosting metabolism. 2. Chronic dieters with poor digestion and constant fatigue $\rightarrow$ Prescriptions to reinforce the functions of the Spleen and Stomach. 3. Those with severe swelling and a heavy body sensation $\rightarrow$ Prescriptions to clear Dameum and improve circulation.
