Unable to loose weight - #19669

Your inability to lose weight despite a healthy diet suggests metabolic imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and possible hormonal resistance. Let’s address the root causes with Ayurveda-based strategies and scientific interventions for weight loss, reducing belly fat, and improving overall health Low Testosterone & Protein Deficiency → Leads to muscle loss, slow metabolism, and fat accumulation. Vitamin B12 & D Deficiency → Causes low energy, weak digestion, and poor fat metabolism. Anaemia (Low Iron Levels) → Decreases oxygen supply to muscles, making workouts less effective. Grade 2 Fatty Liver → Leads to poor digestion, bloating, and weight gain. Excess Body Heat & Gas Formation → Imbalance in Pitta & Vata doshas, making digestion weak Start on Jeera + Ajwain + Saunf Water: Soak 1 tsp of each overnight in 1 liter of water. Boil and drink throughout the day. Helps with bloating, liver detox, and digestion. 2. Triphala Churna (1 tsp) + Warm Water: Every night before bed—cleanses the liver and intestines. 3. Aloe Vera & Amla Juice: 20 ml in the morning—improves digestion and reduces heat.

Weight gain, bloating, and difficulty losing inches can be due to multiple factors — hormonal imbalance, poor digestion, vitamin deficiencies, and fatty liver. In Ayurveda, this may be caused by an imbalance in Kapha dosha — leading to sluggish metabolism, water retention, and fat accumulation. Vata imbalance can also cause excess gas and bloating.

Have one to two glasses of warm water with lemon and honey in the morning on an empty stomach. Sip lukewarm water through the day, a natural detoxifier. Try herbal teas like ginger or CCF tea (cumin, coriander and fennel) or tea spiced with cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and Tulsi (holy basil). Sip warm water about 45min before meals to ignite Agni and combat pseudo-hunger. Avoid drinking water with your meal. If you’re thirsty, sip warm water or ginger tea. Don’t drink water immediately after a meal. Wait for about half an hour. Cut down on beverages like caffeinated tea, coffee and aerated drinks. Have herbal tea or warm water instead. Vaman or emesis is a commonly used procedure in obesity management as it works of Kapha dosha. It also helps in obesity which is coupled with hypothyroidism and PCOD. Virechana or purgation is rarely used if the patient is not eligible for Vamana and needs detox or has a pitta constitution. Basti or medicated enema is also widely used for this purpose with a specific combination of herbs.

Hello Amar, Despite walking in the morning, your metabolism might be slow due to deficiencies and possible hormonal imbalances. Your body heat and intolerance to summer indicate aggravated pitta dosha, while bloating and gas suggest vata imbalance.

Further details are needed regarding your digestion, appetite, sleep patterns, stress levels, and past illnesses. Have you experienced sudden weight gain, emotional eating, or irregular bowel movements?

For ayurvedic treatment, consider triphala churna before bed for digestion and detoxification, punarnava churna to reduce water retention, arogyavardhini vati for liver health and metabolism, ashwagandha and shatavari to balance hormones and improve energy, methi (fenugreek) water in the morning to regulate metabolism, and udvarthanam therapy (dry herbal powder massage) for weight loss.

Follow a light, warm diet with moong dal, lauki, bitter gourd, and leafy greens. Reduce heavy grains like wheat and opt for millets. Practice kapalabhati and bhastrika pranayama to boost metabolism.

Hey Amar, sounds like you’re dealing with quite a bit. Let’s try to tackle this step by step. From an Ayurvedic perspective, it looks like there’s a Pitta-Vata imbalance in your system, especially since you mentioned you’re feeling too much heat internally and have digestive issues.

First thing about your diet, even though you’re vegetarian and avoiding oily stuff, the focus should be on foods that cool down the body and aid in digestion. Think cucumbers, melons, and more leafy greens, avoid the spicy stuff – it fuels the heat. Yeah, I know, salads can get boring but they’re helpful. Try including cooling herbs like coriander and fennel.

Since there’s a lot of bloating and gas, you’ll need to strengthen your Agni, or digestive fire. Sip on warm water throughout the day with a pinch of ginger or ajwain. You can also try a digestive tea made from cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds. They help soothe the digestive system and ease the gas.

For your deficiencies, vitamin D can improve with sunlight exposure, so try and get some sun in the morning. For B12 and protein, maybe include dairy like paneer, and legume-based proteins like lentils and chickpeas. Consider talking to a doc about B12 supplements if needed. Anemia gremlins — they demands some green veggies like spinach and methi, maybe accompanied by vitamin C rich fruits to help iron absorption.

About fatty liver and testosterone, weight reductions usually aid both conditions. Walking is great, but adding some resistance training might help—I get it’s daunting but even muscle-building yoga can be beneficial here.

Oh, and keeping stress in check can sometimes balance hormones naturally. I know, easier said than done. Practices like yoga, meditation or even breathing exercises might help. Lastly, it sounds like consulting with an Ayurvedic doctor who’s well-versed in these imbalances could give you a more tailored approach.

Hang in there Amar, and keep things gradual and consistent. Small changes can make a big difference over time, even if it feels slow. You’re doing great by taking active steps so keep at it!
