Q I work in Dong-gu, Incheon and my meal times are irregular. Is meal timing really that important during a diet?
A Eating a consistent amount at consistent times trains your stomach to shrink to that rhythm, actually shrinking to less than half its size after 3 months. Irregular eating triggers binge eating and overeating and lowers metabolism.
Detailed Answer
Eating 2-3 meals a day at set times fixes the pattern of your stomach being empty before the next meal. Keeping this up for 3 months actually shrinks the stomach by more than half, changing your body so you feel full with a smaller amount. This is the hardest habit for busy office workers to maintain, but establishing this rhythm is key to rebound-free weight loss.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Changes in stomach size appear faster when herbal treatment activates digestive movement. If it's hard to establish regular meal times, we help set up a specific meal schedule together during treatment.
