If you have lower body fat, loose muscles, easily get phlegm, edema, don't lose weight even with less food intake, and experience cold hands and feet, it is recommended to:1) Take more baths or foot soaks (foot baths) at least three times a week to promote blood circulation and boost metabolism.
2) Absolutely avoid extreme or improper dieting, or methods like the "apple diet" or "7-day fast." People with Yin-type obesity need methods that can both reduce weight and nourish the body to succeed.
3) Drink more warm beverages or oslim herbal teas, but "never" drink cold drinks. Otherwise, the chances of successful weight loss will be greatly reduced.
4) Eat some spicy foods, such as ginger, pepper, Sichuan peppercorns, or chili peppers. These help warm the body and boost the basic metabolic rate.
