Q. What is the difference between using Lactofit Diet Probiotics and conventional weight loss methods, and which one is more effective?

Probiotics are helpful for regulating gut microbiota, relieving constipation, and stimulating metabolism, but their direct effect on reducing body fat is often limited. Conventional dieting through calorie restriction and exercise yields fast results, but extreme fasting can deplete your Qi and exacerbate 'Spleen Deficiency' (Bi-heo). In Traditional Korean Medicine, Spleen Deficiency refers to a weakened digestive function where the body fails to properly process nutrients and fluids, leading to the accumulation of 'Phlegm-Fluid' (Dam-eum). Once this occurs, your metabolism slows, and you may find it difficult to lose fat despite your efforts. Furthermore, if 'Blood Stasis' (Eo-hyeol) is present, poor circulation can halve the effectiveness of your workouts. Therefore, TKM weight loss takes a different approach. We first determine the extent of Spleen Deficiency, Phlegm-Fluid, and Blood Stasis through pulse and tongue diagnosis. We then use herbal medicine to revitalize the Spleen and Stomach functions while simultaneously adjusting diet and lifestyle habits. While incorporating probiotics or general dieting is perfectly fine, relying solely on external methods without addressing your internal constitution often leads to the yo-yo effect or side effects. The safest and most sustainable path is to begin by accurately understanding your body's internal state.
