Hi,
Thank you for sharing the details.
1. Postpartum Weight Gain: Since you gave birth last year, do you feel that the weight gain has been more pronounced after childbirth, or was it gradual before that?
2. Diet and Exercise: Could you briefly describe your typical daily diet and the type of workout routine you're following? Sometimes, even small changes can make a difference.
3. Shortness of Breath: How often do you experience shortness of breath, and does it happen during physical activity, while resting, or at specific times of the day?

So you’re noticing weight gain even with a strict diet and working out. Yeah, I get how frustrating that can be. It’s common post-pregnancy, and hormonal changes might be playing a big role here. First, let’s consider your specific dosha, which in Ayurveda, influences weight and metabolism. Given your postpartum condition, Vata dosha is often imbalanced due to stress and sleep disruption, impacting digestion and, yep, weight.
Think about focusing on adjusting your Agni (or digestive fire) first. Maybe try having warm, easily digestible foods. Warm cooked vegetables, whole grains, and legumes might really help. Avoid cold and raw foods, as they can weaken Agni, stalling digestion. If you’re feeling adventurous, consider making a simple digestive tea with cumin, coriander, and fennel. Steep a tsp of each in hot water, have that twice a day to kindle Agni.
Now, about your workouts. Maintain consistency but dial down the intensity a bit. Gentle yoga and brisk walking – nice balance between exertion and relaxation, could be more suitable. Ayurveda often suggests yoga post-partum to support the body’s natural toning process.
If you’re having shortness of breath, that's concerning though. It could potentially point to Ama (toxicity) building in your system or Pitta imbalance creating inflammation. Breathwork exercises like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) can help. Helps with clearing channels and boosting energy.
Diet-wise, also consider spacing meals few hours apart. Eating small, yet frequent meals can stabilize blood sugar levels preventing sudden spikes that maybe affecting your energy levels and breath. And don't skip on sleep. Rest is recovery for mother and body in whole.
One more thing, ensure to check with a healthcare professional regarding your breathlessness. It could be something needing attention beyond just Ayurveda.
