DIETARY AND LIFESTYLE CHANGES

½ hour of walking burn 130 calories
½ hour of jogging/running burn 300-350 calories
½ hour of swimming burn 250 calories
½ hour of cycling burn 150 calories
½ hour of aerobic exercise burn 250 calories
½ hour of light exercise like writing/driving burn 50 calories
i.e. if you don’t exercise you consume about 2000-2500 calories per day.To this you Add any of the above exercise protocol to consume more calories, and keep your calorie consumption below 2000 per day and you will be losing weight

2. Tips on Eating: Starvation is not the right way to loose weight.Take the right type of diet and eat heartily:

AVOID:
.sedentary lifestyle, day time sleeping after meals, newly harvested rice, curd, butter, ghee,cheese,cream,chocolates,cakes,pastries,ice-creams
. oils should be reduced to minimum,avoid deep fried foods like puries,bhujees, potato chips.

. avoid processed and tinned foods,opt for fresh foods
. drinking cold water after exercise.
. Eliminate all cold food and drink,you should eat nothing that is refrigerator cold.

WHAT TO EAT:
.start the meal with large bowl of thin soup,followed by good volume of salads prepared with green vegetables (cabbage,cauliflower,lettuce,cucumber, sprouted pulses). This will prevent you from taking extra servings of the meals.Drink plenty of water and diluted buttermilk.
.Avoid rice,take roti or phulka,without oil or ghee.The bhaji servings should be prepared from green leafy vegetables,onions,cauliflower’s,lady’s finger,radish, turnips, mushrooms, sprouted pulses. Oil may be substituted by gravy of tomato, onion, garlic, and ginger, in the curry or bhaji for taste.
. For morning and evening snacks, take recommended fruits,vegetables and low fat (skimmed) milk, black tea without sugar has negligible calories.
. Carbohydrates: fat requires carbohydrates to burn, so take them in moderation like grains.

2. DEVELOP HEALTHY EATING HABITS:
. Do not eat only 2 large meals a day.It leads to overeating due to hunger.Take snacks in between.It is advisable to eat a good breakfast and light lunch and dinner.
. Keep a quiet and pleasant atmosphere in the dining hall.Watching TV while eating, talking,arguments,angry discussions all lead to overeatin g.
. Eat slowly,chwing each bite thoroughly gives a feeling of satiation.
. do not be tempted to finish up the leftovers.
. use nonstick cooking ware for cooking

P.S.:
1. Ayurveda though is a slower process, but in case of weight loss: haste makes waste, so one has top be gradual in his approach.
2. It is wise to take vitamin and mineral supplementation during this period, to ensure thatyour body does not lack any nutrients

MEDICATIONS
1. Some Ayurveda compounds which are prescribed for weight reduction include: Triphala,Arogya vardhini Vati,,Chandraprabha Vati,Triphala Guggulu and since these are prescription drugs you should contact with your Local Ayurveda Physician regarding their dosage.

PS: remember that insufficient FAT weakens and damages your Immunity, Fat is an essential Dhatu and is good for you, in the proper amount, so hatred of fat is self hatred thus forgot about FAT; think about recreating yourself.
