Q I feel very tired and lethargic while dieting. Is this normal?
A In the first 1-2 weeks, you may feel fatigue from reduced meal amounts and metabolic changes, but afterward the herbal medicine's effect replenishes your energy. If severe fatigue persists more than 2 weeks, adjustment during a visit is needed.
Detailed Answer
In the early stage of weight loss, mild fatigue can occur as energy intake decreases. Excessively intense exercise or extreme dietary restriction increases fatigue, so it's better to cope with light aerobic exercise and sufficient water intake. Dongjedang's constitution herbal medicine is designed to replenish energy while helping weight loss, so many people actually feel better after 2-3 weeks.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
If fatigue persists, there may be a mismatch between your constitution and medication timing, meal amount, or exercise intensity. If you mention it during your visit, we adjust the prescription and lifestyle guidance right away.
