Q Can weight regain (yo-yo effect) occur after childhood obesity treatment?
A Fundamentally correcting Spleen-Stomach function keeps body composition stable without the yo-yo effect.
Detailed Answer
When weight is lost through simple calorie restriction, muscle loss reduces basal metabolic rate, making the yo-yo effect more likely. Korean medicine removes Spleen-Stomach Dampness-Heat and normalizes digestive absorption efficiency, so body weight is maintained naturally. If healthy lifestyle habits continue after treatment ends, the risk of weight regain is low.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, we provide individualized dietary and exercise routines that can be maintained at home toward the end of treatment, improving long-term weight stability.
