Many people try to diet but struggle with the yo-yo effect after losing weight. A Korean herbal medicine diet uses constitution-tailored prescriptions to minimize muscle loss and target body fat, which helps reduce rebound weight gain.

Core principles of a Korean herbal medicine diet

  • Appetite control: Naturally suppresses excessive appetite
  • Improved basal metabolic rate: Activates metabolism and increases energy expenditure
  • Enhanced fat breakdown: Preserves muscle while targeting fat for weight loss

In general, a 3-month weight-loss program followed by a 3-month maintenance program is recommended. The goal is not simply to lose weight, but to improve the constitution itself so that the body becomes less prone to gaining weight.
