Breaking Through a Diet Plateau With Korean Medicine

Why plateaus happen

When you keep the same diet and exercise, the body lowers its energy use to match the lower weight. It is not a lack of effort, but the body adapting efficiently.

Three ways to add change

First, raise protein to protect muscle. Second, vary intensity or type instead of repeating the same workout. Third, review sleep and stress; poor sleep disrupts appetite hormones.

Where herbal care fits

At a plateau, Jaimdang re-examines the balance of digestion, circulation, and water metabolism to help the body move to its next stage. A formula passes a plateau more smoothly when it works alongside daily habits.

Response varies by individual, and any prescription is decided through a Korean-medicine doctor's online consultation.
