You can start a 9 inch plate method. 1/2 cooked veggies, 1/4 protein and 1/4 carb
Keep a regular meal timing. Keep a sleep wake cycle. Don’t eat just before sleep. Try to slight stretching exercises just before bed. Walk for atleast 10 minutes after dinner. Avoid maida, deep fried snacks, sugar, carbonated drinks.
Take care, Dr. Shaniba

HELLO,
WHY WEIGHT LOSS IS DIFFICULT FOR YOU In Ayurveda, your condition mainly involves Kapha dosha imbalance (causing slow metabolism, water retention, heaviness, sluggishness) and Agni mandya (low digestive fire) Thyroid imbalance and pre diabetes both arise from impaired metabolic fire- the body doesnt properly transform food into energy, leading to -fat accumulation -low energy levels -irregular hormone balance -fluctuating sugar levels
MODERN VIEW COMBINED WITH AYURVEDA -Prediabetes means your blood sugar is higher than normal but not yet in diabetic range -Thyroid usually hypothyroidism slows metabolism, causing weight gain, fatigue, constipation, and cold intolerance. Both overlap with kapha dominanace- slow, sticky, heavy qualities
TREATMENT GOALS -Correct digestive/metabolic fire- foundation of weight management -reduce ama (toxic build up)= toxins block channels, slowing thyroid and insulin action -Balance kapha= to reduce heaviness, excess fat, and water retention -enhance medo dhatu agni= fat tissue metabolism -support thyroid and pancreatic function naturally -prevent diabetes progression by improving insulin sensitivity -stabilize mood and energy through mind harmony
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals with lukewarm water for 3 months = balances thyroid, breaks glandular swelling, clears kapha, regulates hormones
2) TRIPHALA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3 months = improves metabolism, reduces fat tissue

6) SHILAJIT CAPSULES= 1 cap in morning for 3 months =improves energy, metabolism and insulin sensitivity
This diet is kapha reducing, which means it helps reduce excess body fat, improves metabolism, and minimise water retention and heaviness- especially around belly.
1) GRAINS(choose light, low glycemic) -old rice, barley, millets- bajra, ragi, jowar, quinoa, whole wheat
AVOID= white rice, maida, processed breads or bakery items, heavy or sticky grains like oats
2) PULSES AND LEGUMES -moong dal= easy to digest , light -massor dal -hoarse gram= very good for reducing fat(kulthi) -chickpeas- chana roasted or boiled
AVOID= rajma, chole, urad dal- they are heavy and produce gas if digestion is weak, overcooked or creamy dals
3) VEGETABLES -leafy grreen= spinach, methi, coriander, curry leaves -lauki, tinda, karela, pumpkin -cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, carrot, beans -drumsticks, snake gourd - radish-especially good for belly fat
AVOID= potato, sweet potato , arbi, -tomatoes in excess -excess onion garlic at night
COOKING- steam or light saute vegetables with mustard seeds, cumin, ginger, and turmeric in minimal oil
4) FRUITS -apples, pear -papaya= excellent for digestion -pomegranate -guava, watermelon= take in morning only -seasonal berries -amla- raw or juice
AVOID= banana, mangoes, grapes, chikos, any fruits after sunset, fruit juices= high sugar
5) DAIRY PRODUCTS -buttermilk=diluted curd, churned, spiced with roasted cumin,ajwain - low fat curd- only in daytime - cow’s milk-if needed boiled with turmeric or ginger

AVOID -refined oils, deep fired food
7) SPICES AND HERBS these helps stimulate digestion, improves metabolism and reduce bloating -ginger, cumin, ajwain, black pepper, turmeric, cinnamon, fenugreek, asafoetida
use these in cooking or as herbal teas- cumin-fennel-coriander decoction after meals
8) BEVERAGES -warm water throughout the day - herbal teas -jeera water

9) SNACKS-light dry and non sugary - roasted makahna, roasted chana, dry fruits in moderation -chia seed water -sprouts= moong, chana with lemon, no salt
AVOID -buiscuits, chips, namkeen, bakery items, sugar bars or energy drinks
HOW TO EAT -eat only when hungry- no emotional or boredom eating - eat in calm, mindful environment - avoid overeating, even healthy foods - use warm, cooked meals, over raw/cold food -obseve mitahara- balanced, moderate, quantity of food - intermittent fasting- 14-16 hours overnight is safe and recommended

Weight loss in thyroid and pre diabetes is not about crash diets- it’s about resetting your body’s internal balance When agni improves and ama clears, the body naturally starts using stored fat for energy With consistent lifestyle, herbal support, and stress control visible results appear within 6-12 weeks- weight reduce gradually 1-2 kg/month, energy increases and blood sugar stabiilizes
Ayurveda’s goal isn’t just to make you “lose weight”, but to make you light, active, calm and disease free- in body and mind
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU

HELLO, ASK AYURVEDA से संपर्क करने के लिए धन्यवाद।
आप वजन कम करने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं
प्रीडायबेटिक और थायरॉइड क्या आप कोई दवा ले रहे हैं? आपके ब्लड शुगर लेवल और थायरॉइड लेवल क्या हैं? आपका वजन कितना है?
आजकल यह एक आम समस्या है, खाने की आदतों, जीवनशैली और कम व्यायाम के कारण (जैसा कि आपने पहले ही अपनी कम शारीरिक गतिविधि के बारे में बताया है)
इसे आसानी से आयुर्वेदिक दवाओं से ठीक किया जा सकता है
लेकिन आपको नियमित रूप से दवाएं लेनी होंगी और उन कारकों से बचना होगा जो इन लक्षणों का कारण बन रहे हैं।
सबसे पहले आपको अपने पेट को साफ करना होगा। इसके लिए दीपना और पाचन थेरेपी उपयोगी होगी।
1] दीपना थेरेपी: - यह उन दवाओं को संदर्भित करता है जो अग्नि, मेटाबोलिक फायर (भूख बढ़ाने वाला) को प्रज्वलित करती हैं, बिना अमा को पचाए।
2] पाचन थेरेपी: - यह अमा के पाचन पर ध्यान केंद्रित करती है।
दीपना और पाचन विभिन्न बीमारियों के उपचार में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाते हैं, जबकि पाचन रस (अग्नि) को बढ़ाते हैं। यह मेटाबोलिक प्रक्रियाओं, पाचन और शरीर की समग्र कार्यक्षमता को नियंत्रित करता है।
फिर स्नेहन और स्वेदन थेरेपी (यह किसी अच्छे आयुर्वेदिक केंद्र में किया जा सकता है)
स्नेहन कर्म: - औषधीय तेल या घी का आंतरिक और बाहरी प्रशासन,
आंतरिक: - इसे कुछ दिनों की अवधि में लिया जाता है ताकि पूरे शरीर में ऊतकों और कोशिकाओं को चिकना किया जा सके। यह विषाक्त पदार्थों को ढीला करने और निकासी के लिए तैयार करने में मदद करता है।
बाहरी: औषधीय तेल से पूरे शरीर की मालिश ताकि त्वचा के माध्यम से अवशोषण बढ़ सके और मल को और ढीला किया जा सके
स्वेदन कर्म: - स्नेहन के बाद शरीर से मल को निकालने के लिए, भाप स्नान द्वारा शरीर से पसीना निकालना
बाद में पंचकर्म थेरेपी: - (यह किसी अच्छे आयुर्वेदिक केंद्र में किया जा सकता है)
वमन: - यह वह थेरेपी है जिसमें व्यक्ति को औषधीय दवाओं का उपयोग करके नियंत्रित उल्टी कराई जाती है। यह गैस्ट्रोइंटेस्टाइनल ट्रैक्ट और श्वसन प्रणाली से अतिरिक्त कफ को हटाने में मदद करता है।
विरेचन: - यह वह थेरेपी है जिसमें व्यक्ति को औषधीय दवाओं के माध्यम से नियंत्रित मल त्याग कराया जाता है। यह निचले गैस्ट्रोइंटेस्टाइनल ट्रैक्ट, लिवर और गॉल ब्लैडर को साफ करता है
अगला आपको उद्वर्तन थेरेपी के लिए जाना होगा – यह औषधीय पाउडर का उपयोग करके पूरे शरीर की मालिश है। यह आपके शरीर में अतिरिक्त वसा को घोलने में मदद करता है
अब इस दवा का पालन करें: -
1] अजमोदादी चूर्ण 1/2 चम्मच गर्म पानी के साथ दिन में दो बार
2] त्रिफला चूर्ण 1/2 चम्मच गर्म पानी के साथ दिन में दो बार
3] हिंगुवष्टक चूर्ण 1/2 चम्मच गर्म पानी के साथ सोने से पहले
मसालेदार, ठंडे, खट्टे, तले हुए आइटम से बचें
बहुत सारा पानी, छाछ पिएं
सब्जियां, फल, सलाद खाएं
आपके शीघ्र स्वस्थ होने की कामना
एक बार फिर ASK AYURVEDA से संपर्क करने के लिए धन्यवाद
I’m sorry, I can’t assist with that.
Managing prediabetes and thyroid issues alongside weight loss can be quite challenging. However, there are Siddha-Ayurvedic approaches that could support your efforts.
First, focus on balancing your doshas, particularly Kapha, which is often linked with weight gain. Start your day with warm water mixed with a teaspoon of raw honey and a squeeze of lemon. This aids in boosting metabolism and detoxifying your system. Include Triphala powder at night; half a teaspoon with warm water can improve digestion and help in regulating bowel movements, crucial for weight management.
Since thyroid imbalance can affect Agni, or digestive fire, opt for lighter meals that are easier to digest. Favor freshly prepared, whole foods rich in fibers like plenty of vegetables and pulses. Avoid processed foods and heavy dairy products which can aggravate Kapha. Regularly include spices like ginger, black pepper, and cinnamon in your meals; these enhance metabolism and improve digestion.
Physical activity is another crucial element. Engage in moderate exercise like walking or yoga for 30 minutes a day to help stimulate your Agni and balance your doshas. Equally, incorporate deep breathing exercises that can support thyroid function by reducing stress and enhancing circulation through the nadis.
Remember to keep hydrated but avoid cold or iced drinks - room temperature or warm fluids are preferable. While these home remedies and lifestyle tips can contribute positively, it’s important to monitor your health conditions regularly with a healthcare provider to ensure they’re managed well. Always consult with a specialist before making significant changes to your routine, especially with pre-existing conditions.
