Q I'm curious how the Dongjedang detox diet program is structured stage by stage.
A It's broadly divided into a weight-loss phase (constitution herbal medicine + gamnosu + detox pills + low-salt constitution diet) and a maintenance phase (Stage 3 constitution diet + establishing lifestyle habits). It's based on 3 months and extended depending on your goal.
Detailed Answer
Stage 1 (preparation): constitution diagnosis followed by prescription and dietary guidance. Stage 2 (weight loss): constitution herbal medicine boosts metabolism, gamnosu eliminates water, detox pills manage bowel movement, and a low-salt constitution diet is practiced. Stage 3 (maintenance): maintaining the shrunken stomach size, continuing the constitution diet, and gradually increasing exercise. At each stage transition, we check your condition during treatment and adjust the prescription and diet.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
It matters more that your body fully digests each stage than how fast you lose weight. Our goal is to give you the experience of your constitution changing without rebound, through stage-by-stage stabilization rather than rapid weight loss.
