Q I've eaten small portions since childhood and can't even finish half a bowl of rice. How should I eat?
A Rather than trying to eat a lot at once, it's more effective to increase frequency with snacks between meals. For those with a weak stomach, frequency matters more than amount, and low-burden foods like porridge, nuts, and eggs are good.
Detailed Answer
Telling someone whose small appetite has become fixed to suddenly eat more often makes their stomach uncomfortable and makes them eat even less. It's realistic to split three meals a day into five and add nutrient-dense snacks like nuts, bananas, eggs, and cheese in between.
Oriental Medicine Clinic Perspective
Once stomach capacity and appetite recover with oriental medicine treatment, the amount per meal naturally increases. Instead of forcing a strict diet, we design together a direction of gradually increasing as much as the stomach can accept, tailored to your eating habits.
