So you’re looking into Ayurveda for weight loss, huh? Good choice if you’re avoiding the extreme stuff. You’ve got the basics quite right with warm water, triphala, and all. Let’s dig into how those things actually work for you.
First off, the warm water with lemon and honey idea, it’s not just a detox thing. In Ayurveda, this combo kickstarts the Agni, or digestive fire. You’re basically giving your metabolism a gentle nudge to wake up right when you start your day. But don’t go overboard with honey, especially if you’re Kapha type. Try it every morning, but see how your body reacts. If you don’t like it or it’s too sugary, just stick to water.
Triphala Churna is often hailed as a hero in digestion and detox. It’s made from three fruits and can smoothens things out, literally. But watch your dosha here: it’s cooling, so if you’re already Vata-dominant (airy and cold), you might need to round it off with something warming.
For yoga, any practice that shakes up the Kapha is your buddy. Sun salutations are your best friend here. But breathing exercises (Pranayama), especially Kapalbhati, work wonders.
On eating according to your dosha, you’re spot on. For Kapha, think light, spicy, and warming foods. Avoid oily, heavy stuff. But don’t stress about this, flexible eating does wonders in the long run. Fatty food often brings in heaviness and blocks channels—disrupt that.
As for herbs, Guggul and Ashwagandha are often recommended. Guggul’s good for weight management but always consult an Ayurvedic physician—cause self-prescription can backfire.
About permenance: nothing’s forever unless you tweak your lifestyle. Mindful eating, some exercise daily, never gonna go outta style. You might notice an uptick in energy and metabolism too. Try it consistently but adjust according to how you feel. Results can last but only if you see it as a holistic shift, not a quick fix.
