Q I'm an office worker in Dongincheon — how many kilograms can I expect to lose in 3 months?
A It varies by individual constitution and starting weight, but losing 5-10 kg in 3 months is common. Body fat percentage and body shape change are more meaningful indicators than the number on the scale.
Detailed Answer
During the diuretic phase (weeks 1-3), 2-3 kg of body water is lost first, and body fat continues decreasing afterward, making a combined 5-10 kg over 3 months realistic. The higher your starting weight and the better you follow the dietary guidance, the greater the change possible. Clothing size and waist circumference are more honest indicators than the scale.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Aiming for overly rapid weight loss leads to muscle loss and lowered basal metabolism, which makes rebound worse afterward. Constitutional herbal medicine is designed to lose weight slowly in a way that doesn't come back, which makes it much easier to maintain after 3 months.
