Q Does the stomach actually shrink after 3 months of treatment? Does appetite itself decrease then?
A Yes, if you maintain a regular small food intake for 3 months, the stomach actually shrinks by more than 1/2 and you feel full faster with the same amount. Because satiety signals come sooner than hunger, you naturally eat less.
Detailed Answer
The stomach is an elastic muscle organ that adapts to smaller regular meals and shrinks in size. When the capacity decreases, the same amount of food stretches the stomach wall faster, transmitting satiety signals earlier. This change can be felt during meals after 3 months have passed, and it also makes a decisive contribution to weight maintenance.
Traditional Korean Medicine Perspective
Constitutional herbal medicine prescribed in line with stomach function recovery works to support digestive movement while also reducing the urge to overeat. When stomach size reduction and the herbal medicine effect work together, natural appetite control is achieved from 3 months onward without much conscious effort.
