hey dear,
Some home remedies -
1.Soak 1 tsp cumin seeds in a glass of water overnight. Boil and drink on an empty stomach.
2. Soak 1 tsp methi seeds overnight. Chew them in the morning before breakfast.
3. Mix 1 tsp Triphala in warm water and drink before bed.
4.1 tbsp apple ceder vinegar in a glass of warm water, 30 mins before lunch/dinner.
Include low-calorie foods in your diet that fill your stomach without overloading on energy.
Eg.Swap rice with steamed vegetables + dal + millet, and you can eat more but still lose weight.
2. Time Your Meals – Not Starve
Eat 3 regular meals + 1 snack—no skipping.
3. Add Protein & Fiber to Every Meal,These two nutrients reduce hunger naturally.
Try: eggs, dals, paneer, chana, tofu, sprouts, oats, fruits with skin, nuts
4. Mindful Eating
Sit. Eat slowly. Chew. Enjoy.
You’ll feel satisfied with less food, and still feel the joy of eating.
5. A 30-minute walk after meals can help digestion and fat burning,Or dance. Or do yoga.
Bonus Tip for Cravings:
When a craving hits, try this:
Drink a glass of warm water with lemon
Wait 10 minutes
If you're still hungry, eat something light and whole (fruit, nuts, chana)
Medication if needed-

When it comes to losing weight through Ayurveda, its essential first to understand your doshas, as they significantly influence your body's characteristics, including appetite and metabolism. You mentioned food being the essence of your life and feeling constantly hungry; this might indicate an imbalance that needs addressing. Let's look at some practical recommendations that could help you in this journey.
First, examine your dosha. While Pitta dosha types may experience intense hunger, a Kapha imbalance might lead to persistent hunger without an actual need for more nutritional intake. Start each day with a small piece of fresh ginger with a sprinkle of lemon and salt 30 minutes before meals to stimulate digestion and balance your agni, or digestive fire, with your Ayurvedic constitution.
Diet is crucial in Ayurveda. Try incorporating light and easily digestible foods that are predominantly Sattvic in nature like, fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Avoid heavy, oily, and processed foods to prevent further aggravation of Kapha. Make meals at regular intervals, and drink warm water throughout the day to help keep the digestive system functioning optimally.
Practicing mindfulness can help with the emotional attachment to food. Start focusing more on the act of eating by sitting down in a calm and pleasant environment, chewing food fully rather than rushing through the meal. Yoga and pranayama can greatly benefit here; practicing Sun Salutations and Kapalabhati can help invigorate and balance energies in your body.
Lifestyle changes are equally important, though the body must keep moving to maintain balance of weight and energy. Take up a form of exercise you enjoy, maybe walking or cycling, integrate it as a routine, preferably in the morning when Kapha accumulation in the body is at its peak.
Consider herbal support. Ayurvedic herbs such as Trikatu, a mix of black pepper, long pepper, and ginger, have been known to increase metabolism. However, it is essential to consult with a practitioner before adding any herbal supplements to ensure safety and efficacy for your individual needs.
Change doesn't need to be drastic, start with these small, sustainable habits. Always maintain awareness of your body's state and seek guidance when needed, to harness Ayurveda's potential fully. If you're constantly feeling hungry despite these approaches, it would be wise to seek further personalized advice to rule out any underlying conditions.
