My Dear,
I know you’re feeling upset that even after walking and dieting, your weight hasn’t changed much. With PCOS, this is very common your body resists at first because of hormones and metabolism. But listen carefully: weight loss does not usually show up as a drastic drop on the weighing scale in the beginning.
First, your body will start losing inches your clothes will feel looser, your tummy less bloated, and your face clearer. Only after fat reduces gradually, the weight will start showing on the scale.
This takes time, so don’t lose hope in between. Think about why you started not just for weight, but for your health, periods, skin, and future.
Medicines can help, but they are secondary. The real key is your routine, diet, exercise, and patience. I want you to follow one week very strictly no skipping, no giving up. After that, you can ask me personally, and I’ll prepare a full detailed diet and workout plan only for you. If you follow for 3–6 months consistently, you will be amazed with your results.
Ama Pachana (first 2–3 weeks)
Trikatu churna – ½ tsp with honey after lunch once daily. Hingvastaka churna – ½ tsp with warm water before food, twice daily.
Internal medicines (2–3 months, then review) Varunadi Kashayam – 15 ml with equal water, twice daily before food. Kumaryasava – 15 ml with equal water, after lunch and dinner. Chandraprabha Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after food. Shatavari churna – 1 tsp with warm milk at night.
External therapy (if possible) Udvartana (herbal powder massage with Kolakulathadi churna) once a week to improve metabolism and reduce fat deposits.

Daily lifestyle + food chart :
Morning (6:30–7:00 am)
Wake up early. Drink 1 glass of warm water with a few soaked fenugreek seeds or lemon water. 15–20 min of light stretching or yoga (Surya Namaskar, breathing exercises).
Breakfast (7:30–8:00 am before college) 2 boiled eggs or a small bowl of upma/poha with vegetables. Or oats with milk and nuts. Avoid packaged cereals or bread daily.
College time (9–5) Carry a water bottle (drink at least 2–2.5 L). Mid-morning snack (11 am): 1 fruit like apple/guava or a handful of almonds.
Lunch (1 pm in college): 1–2 chapati or a small portion of rice + dal + sabji + curd. (Keep portions balanced, don’t skip carbs fully.)
Evening snack (4–5 pm): roasted chana, sprouts chaat, or buttermilk.
Evening (after college, around 6 pm) Go for brisk walking, cycling, or a beginner cardio workout (20–30 min).
Start small — 3–4 days a week. Once stamina builds, increase gradually.
Dinner (7:30–8:00 pm)
Light dinner: vegetable soup + 1 chapati, or grilled paneer/boiled dal with sabji.
Avoid heavy rice at night. Bedtime (10–10:30 pm) No mobile late at night. Warm turmeric milk or just plain warm water before bed.
Lifestyle :
Sleep 7–8 hours daily. Lack of sleep worsens PCOS and weight gain. Manage stress — journaling, music, or meditation for 10 minutes helps. Avoid junk, cold drinks, excess sugar, and fried foods — they worsen hormones. Include protein in every meal (dal, paneer, egg, sprouts, nuts).
very important : Don’t weigh yourself daily, check only once in 2 weeks. Celebrate small wins even more energy, clear skin, or better periods are signs your body is improving.
This is a journey, not a race. At 18, your focus should be on building strength and balance, not chasing the weighing scale daily. Stick to this honestly, and your body will reward you slowly but surely.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Considering your efforts with caloric deficit and walking, it sounds like you’ve already made some positive steps toward managing weight. However, the presence of PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) can complicate weight management due to hormonal imbalances. PCOS often results in higher levels of androgens and insulin resistance, which might hinder weight loss efforts. In the realm of Ayurveda, this condition is understood as a result of Kapha and Vata dosha imbalances, and addressing these can help.
First, let’s focus on digestion, which is seen as the cornerstone of health in Ayurveda. Ensure your agni, or digestive fire, is strong. Sip on warm water throughout the day — this aids in digestion and helps in maintaining body metabolism. Before meals, you might try a simple trikatu (a combination of ginger, black pepper, and long pepper) churna (powder), taking a quarter teaspoon with warm water. This aids in stimulating digestion and metabolizing accumulated toxins (ama).
In terms of diet, aim to include foods that balance Kapha and Vata. Incorporate more warm, light, and dry foods. Think of roasted vegetables, warm soups, and whole grains like barley and quinoa. Avoid heavy, cold, and dense foods such as dairy, red meat, and fried foods, which can exacerbate Kapha.
Lifestyle adjustments are equally important. Regular, gentle exercise like yoga or brisk walking is beneficial, especially in the morning or late afternoon. Ensure you’re getting adequate sleep at regular times as this helps balance hormones. Stress management is vital, as stress can trigger cortisol release, leading to weight gain. Practices like Pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation can be highly effective.
Specific to PCOS, the herb Shatavari (Asparagus Racemosus) can be beneficial. It is known to help balance hormones and improve fertility. You might consider Shatavari supplements but consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any new regimen.
While Ayurveda can offer support, it’s essential to coordinate with your healthcare provider, as managing PCOS may require a multifaceted approach, including medical intervention. If you experience more severe symptoms or significant health changes, professional medical advice is crucial.
Reducing body inflation can be complex, especially with PCOS involved. In Siddha-Ayurveda, an imbalance in the doshas, especially kapha and pitta, could be contributing to your challenges with weight. Addressing these imbalances can be critical.
First, let’s focus on your diet. Beyond calorie deficit, it’s important to consider the quality of food. Incorporate more bitter and astringent tastes found in leafy greens, which can help balance pitta and kapha. Favor foods that are light, dry, and warm. Avoid processed and fried foods, excess sugar, and dairy that can aggravate kapha. Instead, opt for whole grains like quinoa and amaranth.
Spices play a vital role in this process as well. Use turmeric, ginger, cumin, and coriander in cooking as they help kindle agni (metabolic fire) and improve digestion. Taking 1/4 teaspoon of trikatu powder with honey before meals can support metabolism.
Daily exercise is important, but it need not be excessive. Walks are beneficial, yet incorporating some yoga or pranayama (breathing exercises) can support your hormonal balance, especially for PCOS. These can include surya namaskar (sun salutations) and kapalbhati pranayama.
Hydration is critical. Warm herbal teas made with fennel and cinnamon can be soothing and help with bloating. Drink warm water throughout the day to aid digestion.
Finally, managing stress is important, as stress can exacerbate PCOS symptoms. Practice relaxation techniques like meditation, which can balance the mind and body interface.
These approaches, rooted in Siddha-Ayurvedic traditions, can offer more holistic support for your journey. However, consult with a healthcare provider for guidance tailored to your unique needs and because PCOS can have complexity requiring more direct involvement.
