Oh, the struggle with weight gain and slow metabolism, I hear ya! Ayurveda can definitely lend a helping hand there, focusing on balancing Kapha and sparking that inner digestive fire, Agni.
You mentioned Triphala churna, and it’s a classic, y’know, that’s great for keepin’ infoofy digestion steady and boosting overall gut health. A spoonful at night with warm water, helps clear out the digestive tract and curb those sugar cravings. It kinda works slowly but surely, so patience is key.
Warm lemon water with honey is a simple yet effective way to kickstart your metabolic engine in the morning. Just squeeze half a lemon in warm water, add a spoon of honey and sip it first thing – remember to use warm water, not boiling, so the honey doesn’t lose its goodness.
Methi and cumin water is amazing too, just soak a teaspoon of each overnight and drink it in the morn. They stimulate metabolism in a gentle way, not like those intense fat-burning tea gimmicks.
Now, about Kapha-pacifying meals – light, warm, and spicy foods do the trick! Think steamed or stir-fried veggies with spices like ginger, black pepper, or turmeric. They kindle the digestive fire while being kind to your constitution.
As for intermittent fasting, Ayurveda focuses more on meal timings synced with your body’s clock. Like, have your largest meal midday when the sun (and digestive fire) is at its peak, and keep dinner light and early, preferably before 7 PM. Your body will thank you later with better digestion and steady energy levels.
And about the side effects… well, following an Ayurvedic diet generally keeps them at bay. I’ve seen folks notice changes gradually within a month or two, but it’s individual. Consistency matters more than speed here, haha!
In the end, it’s about complementing lifestyle changes with these diet tweaks. Like ensuring regular exercise, good sleep, and stress management — Ayurveda vibes with the holistic approach, after all. Give it a go and let it gently nudge your body back into balance. Hope this helps!
