People with Qi deficiency and body weight loss need to simultaneously regulate their physical condition and scientifically lose weight by replenishing Qi, moderate exercise, dietary adjustments, and other methods. The core contradiction of Qi deficiency and body fat lies in the deficiency of spleen and weak qi, which leads to delayed metabolism. Simple dieting or vigorous exercise may exacerbate Qi deficiency. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is responsible for the transportation of water and dampness. When the spleen is deficient, the essence of water and grains cannot be properly distributed, which can easily lead to the accumulation of phlegm and dampness. Priority should be given to selecting ingredients that are both medicinal and edible, such as yam, lotus seeds, and water chestnuts, when combined with medicinal herbs such as Huangqi and Codonopsis pilosula for stewing. This can not only nourish the temperament but also avoid greasiness and stomach obstruction. It is recommended to start with gentle exercises such as Ba Duan Jin and Tai Chi, and gradually transition to aerobic exercises such as brisk walking and swimming, with each session lasting no more than 40 minutes to avoid gas exhaustion. The diet should reduce refined carbohydrates and high sugar foods, increase water rich ingredients such as white radish and winter melon, and supplement high-quality protein with a small amount of chicken and fish. Some individuals with severe Qi deficiency may experience symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and tongue and body hypertrophy, and should be alert to pathological factors such as hypothyroidism or polycystic ovary syndrome. In such cases, traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations such as Buzhong Yiqi Pill and Shenling Baizhu Powder should be used under the guidance of doctors, and organic diseases should be excluded when necessary in combination with western medical examination. Avoid taking laxatives or excessive dieting on your own, as it may cause electrolyte imbalances or rebound. Women should pay attention to the impact of their menstrual cycle on their weight and avoid excessive exercise before and after menstruation.
Long term regulation requires establishing a regular sleep schedule to avoid staying up late and injuring qi. Before going to bed, you can soak your feet in mugwort leaves to promote blood circulation. Maintaining a relaxed mood helps regulate liver qi and reduce stressful eating. Monitoring weight changes should not exceed once a week, as excessive attention to numbers may cause psychological burden. If the weight continues to not decrease or is accompanied by other discomforts, it is recommended to seek medical attention at a traditional Chinese medicine or endocrinology department to develop a personalized plan.
