What Is the Ayurvedic Diet for Weight Loss? How Can It Help in Achieving Sustainable Fat Reduction?

Question

I’ve been looking into an Ayurvedic diet for weight loss to help me achieve sustainable fat reduction and improve my digestion. I’ve heard that Ayurveda recommends a diet based on seasonal, whole foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and herbal spices that help boost metabolism, balance doshas, and detoxify the body.

I want to know more about the foods to eat and avoid in an Ayurvedic weight loss diet. I’m curious whether this diet is more focused on detoxification or metabolism regulation, and how it compares to other weight loss methods.

If anyone has followed an Ayurvedic diet for weight loss, please share your experience. How did it help with sustained weight loss, improving digestion, or reducing cravings? How long did it take to see results, and were there any side effects or food recommendations?
