Q Does 3 months of treatment really shrink the stomach? Does that mean appetite itself decreases?
A Yes, maintaining regular meal amounts for 3 months actually shrinks the stomach by more than half, so you feel full faster with the same amount. Since the fullness signal arrives before appetite, you naturally eat less.
Detailed Answer
The stomach is an elastic muscular organ, so as it adapts to regular small meals, its size decreases. As capacity shrinks, the stomach wall stretches quickly even with the same amount of food, sending the fullness signal earlier. You can actually feel this change during meals after 3 months, and it plays a decisive role in maintaining weight.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Constitution-matched herbal medicine prescribed to match stomach function recovery helps digestive movement while also working to reduce the urge to overeat. When stomach shrinkage and the medicine's effect combine, natural moderate eating happens without much conscious effort after 3 months.
