Since you've had your gallbladder removed, it can affect your ability to digest fats efficiently, which can influence weight gain. Here’s a diet plan and some Ayurvedic recommendations to help you gain healthy weight, strengthen your body, and have a fuller face: Diet Plan for Healthy Weight Gain: 1. Increase Healthy Fats (Easily Digestible) Ghee: 2–3 tablespoons daily. Ghee is a good source of fat and will help improve digestion without burdening the liver. Olive Oil: Use 1–2 tablespoons daily for cooking or in salads. It's easy to digest and provides healthy fats. Avocados: Rich in healthy fats, can be added to salads, smoothies, or eaten directly. Nuts: Almonds, cashews, walnuts, and pistachios. You can have a handful daily or add them to smoothies, oatmeal, or desserts. Coconut Milk: Coconut oil and milk are good fat sources. You can use it in smoothies or curries. 2. Protein-Rich Foods Moong Dal (green gram): Light and easy to digest. Have it in soups, stews, or salads. Paneer (cottage cheese): Rich in protein and good fats. Have 50–100 grams daily. Eggs: If you eat eggs, they're an excellent source of protein. Have boiled or scrambled eggs. Legumes and Lentils: Beans, chickpeas, and lentils are great sources of plant-based protein. 3. Carbohydrates (Complex Carbs) Sweet Potatoes: High in carbs and fiber. They provide energy and help in healthy weight gain. Brown Rice or Quinoa: Excellent complex carbs that help with muscle-building. Whole Grains: Oats, barley, and buckwheat can be included in your daily diet. 4. Hydration and Smoothies Coconut Water: Great for hydration and electrolytes. Protein Smoothies: Blend 1 banana, 1 tablespoon almond butter, a handful of spinach, and a scoop of protein powder (optional). Milk: Full-fat milk or a plant-based alternative like almond milk for extra calories. 5. Frequent Meals and Snacks Eat 5–6 small meals a day: Include healthy snacks between meals like trail mix (nuts and dried fruits), hummus with veggies, or protein bars. Snack Ideas: Dates with nuts, yogurt with honey and fruit, smoothies, and granola. Ayurvedic Aushadhi (Herbal Support) for Weight Gain: Ashwagandha: This herb helps with stress, builds muscle mass, and promotes overall strength. It also supports digestion. How to Use: 1 tsp Ashwagandha powder with warm water or milk at night. Shatavari: Known for its rejuvenating and balancing effects, Shatavari can improve appetite and digestive health. How to Use: 1–2 tablets twice a day with warm water after meals. Triphala: Good for improving digestion, absorption, and bowel regularity. This can help you absorb nutrients better. How to Use: Take 1 tsp of Triphala powder at night with warm water. Chyawanprash: A nutrient-dense herbal jam that helps build strength and vitality. It contains many herbs and spices that improve metabolism and boost immunity. How to Use: 1–2 tsp with warm water or milk. Saffron and Ghee: A traditional mix that enhances vitality and weight gain. How to Use: Add a pinch of saffron to 1 tbsp ghee and consume it before meals. Lifestyle Adjustments for Weight Gain: Exercise: Include strength training exercises (light weight lifting, bodyweight exercises) to help build muscle mass and increase overall weight. Rest: Adequate sleep and rest are important for muscle repair and weight gain. Avoid Stress: Practice relaxation techniques like yoga, pranayama, or meditation to reduce cortisol (which can hinder weight gain). Example Daily Meal Plan: Morning: Warm water with ashwagandha powder Oats cooked in milk with almonds and dates A glass of full-fat milk with Chyawanprash Mid-Morning Snack: Handful of mixed nuts or trail mix Lunch: Moong dal or lentil soup Rice with ghee and vegetables Paneer orw chicken (if non-vegetarian) Afternoon Snack: Banana smoothie with almond butter and coconut milk Evening: Sweet potato or roasted chickpeas with a glass of warm milk Dinner: Quinoa or brown rice with sautéed vegetables and ghee Moong dal or another protein source

I am currently working as an Associate Professor and Ayurvedic Consultant at a reputed Ayurvedic medical college in Karnataka. My dual role in academics and clinical practice allows me to stay deeply connected with both the foundational principles of Ayurveda and their real-world application in patient care. With years of experience in teaching and treating patients, I have developed a strong grounding in classical Ayurvedic texts as well as hands-on expertise in managing a wide spectrum of health conditions. In my academic role, I am involved in mentoring undergraduate and postgraduate students, guiding them through theoretical understanding, clinical training, and practical application of Ayurvedic medicine. I actively participate in departmental research, workshops, and case discussions, fostering a learning environment that emphasizes both scientific inquiry and traditional wisdom. As a consultant, I provide holistic Ayurvedic care for chronic lifestyle disorders, musculoskeletal problems, women’s health issues, gastrointestinal diseases, and skin disorders. My treatment plans are deeply personalized, based on a thorough assessment of Prakriti (body constitution) and Vikriti (imbalance), integrating herbal medicine, Panchakarma therapies, dietary advice, and preventive health strategies. I strongly believe in the importance of patient education and preventive care. Whether I am managing a complex condition or offering day-to-day wellness support, my aim is always to treat the root cause and promote long-term healing. I also collaborate with fellow practitioners and students to stay updated with advancements in Ayurvedic research and contribute meaningfully to the field. My commitment lies in offering authentic, evidence-based, and compassionate Ayurvedic care while nurturing the next generation of Ayurveda professionals with the same values.
