Hello I totally understand your concern. It does feel quite unsettling losing 5kg if you already have a Vata prakriti. But since you do not have any health problems, are a non-vegetarian, and are moderately active, this weight loss can be brought back under control through the right Ayurvedic approach.
MY CONCERN (IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND)
First of all, what worries me most about your condition is that:
–Aggravated Vata due to irregular digestion and routine –Even with a good appetite, Vata leads to poor absorption –Continued weight loss can result in: Weakness Dryness of the joints Anxiety Premature fatigue Lowered immunity
👉 If Vata is not mended now, weight fluctuation may continue 👉 The main issue should not be “eating more” only but finding ways of better digestion and assimilation.
The good part is that
–There is no disease in the picture – Appetite is there –Age and activity level are great for recovery
So it will be a matter of time and dedication before we see the results.
