Q Are there specific foods I should avoid during treatment? I have frequent work dinners, so I'm worried.
A Salty food and overeating are the biggest enemies. Rather than avoiding work dinners entirely, reducing portion size and being mindful of low-sodium eating is enough to maintain results.
Detailed Answer
During constitutional herbal medicine treatment, overeating, binge eating, and late-night snacking reduce the effect. High-sodium food interferes with water excretion, causing bloating and slower weight loss. Alcohol slows fat metabolism, so have only a small amount at dinners, and the key is keeping your meal portions normal the next day.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Because the constitutional herbal medicine keeps your body's toxin-excretion pathway open, simply cutting back on high-sodium, high-fat food that blocks that flow allows steady weight loss without needing a perfect diet. After 3 months, your palate often becomes more sensitive and salty food naturally decreases.
