How to loose weight and belly fat - #24695

Shah Hanan

Hello Doctor, I hope you're doing well. I wanted to share a few health details before our consultation today. I am 20 years old, my height is 165 cm, and my weight is 72 kg. I have a lot of belly fat, and I want to reduce it — at least enough so that the bulge is not visible anymore. Please suggest some effective exercises and Ayurvedic medicines that can help me get faster results. Also, I have been taking Triphala Churna (half a spoon) at night before sleeping for the past one month."

Hello.

For your weight loss journey you have to follow a routine of Diet + Exercise + Medicines combination which will give you beautiful results.

✔️ If you are having a sedentary lifestyle you should go for only TWO MEALS diet (DVAU BHUKTAU AHARAM). Lunch at around 12-1 pm and dinner around 6-7 pm. ✔️100 steps after both meals ✔️Whenever you feel hungry drink a glass of warm water and wait for half an hour. If you still feel hungry after half an hour BUTTERMILK + cumin powder + carrom seed powder + saindhav salt is your go to snack ✔️Daily meals should contain a big bowl of dal to complete your protein requirement and eventually will help you cut down carbs in your plate

🧘‍♀️ Yoga 🧘‍♀️ Pashimotanasan Hastapadasan Vajrasan Suptvajrasan Matsyasan Naukasan Dhanurana Surya Namaskra (start from 5 and increase the no slowly)

❌Like you mentioned you are having belly fat cut down dairy products. Dairy is the cause of belly fat ❌High leve of Cortisol is another reason for belly fat so reduse stress. ❌No screen time 1 hour before sleep. You can consume audio form of data but no visual data at all. ❌Oily, junk, street food, packed products, ready to eat items.

💊 Medication💊

Tab. Ampachak Vati 2 tabs twice a day before food Tab. Medohar guggul 2 tabs twice a day before food. Tab. Arogyavardhini Vati 2 tabs twice a day before food.

Tab. Shankhavati 2 tabs twice a day after food you have suck and eat like hajmola.

Daily luke warm sesame seed oil massage followed by one hour of exercise and than a hot water bath.

NOTE: Drinking warm water or once boiled water will help you miraculously.

If you are into physical work you can increase one mid meal which can be 100gms of roasted peanuts or roasted channa WITHOUT salt.

Restricting salt, sugar, dairy, if possible wheat (replacing it with millets) will give you best results.

Based on your height and weight, its clear that your BMI is a bit above the healthy range for your age and height, which might be contributing to excess belly fat. In Ayurveda, this could be due to an imbalance in Kapha dosha, typically associated with a sedentary lifestyle, excessive intake of heavy or oily foods, and stress.

Start by incorporating some simple aerobic exercises like brisk walking, jogging, or cycling, which are great for burning fat. Aim for at least 30 minutes a day most days of the week. Alongside, practicing yoga, especially poses like Surya Namaskar, Trikonasana (triangle pose), and Bhujangasana (cobra pose) can enhance metabolism and engage core muscles, aiding in the reduction of belly fat.

Continue with Triphala Churna but consider increasing it to 1 teaspoon if tolerated, as it aids digestion and detoxification. One potent Ayurvedic remedy for weight management is Guggul, known for enhancing fat metabolism. 500 mg of Triphala Guggul after meals could promote fat loss, but always consult a practitioner to ensure it aligns with your constitution and any other conditions.

Dietary changes can also greatly aid in managing belly fat. Opt for light, freshly prepared meals. Incorporate whole grains, lentils, green leafy vegetables, and fruits like apples and pears. Try to include spices like turmeric, cumin, and ginger, which are known to enhance digestion and metabolism.

Lastly, ensure regularity in meal timings and practices like drinking warm water throughout the day can support digestion and cleanse the system. Avoid cold beverages and excessive dairy or sugary foods, as they can aggravate Kapha.

With diligence and consistency, these practices can support reducing belly fat over time. Results may vary based on individual constitution and lifestyle, so patience is key, and adjustments may be needed based on your own body’s response.

With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

Dr. Happy Patel
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. Happy Patel, right now in my 1st year of MD in Dravyaguna at Parul Institute of Ayurved, Parul University. I guess my whole thing kinda revolves around understanding the real essence of medicinal plants—not just listing herbs but digging deep into what makes each of them tick... like how their rasa, guna, virya, vipaka and prabhava actually work inside a body, especially in connection with a patient’s prakriti and doshic imbalance. I do spend most of my time between academics and clinical postings, but outside of that I also treat patients independently—when approached—especially using single drug therapies or classical combinations that match dosha and vyadhi properly. Sometimes I just sit and go back to the basics before I pick a herb… like not just "use haridra for this," but "is this the haridra that suits this person right now?" That sorta stuff. Materia medica is something I take really seriously. I’m always trying to match the pharmacological properties of herbs with what the body needs—not in a broad way, but real specific. I don’t believe in random prescribing just coz a formulation’s famous or commonly used... I want it to make sense. Also I’m big on yukti upayoga—using plants intelligently, with full context. My work till now (though still early) is focused on keeping ayurveda’s original wisdom intact, but also not turning it into a museum piece. Like, ya it’s ancient but that doesn’t mean it can’t solve modern issues if you apply it right. Just takes effort, patience... and the right dravya, used the right way.

Dr. Deepali Goswami
I am Dr. Deepali Goswami, BAMS graduate n working mainly around women's health. Right now m running my own clinic where i treat all kind of gyne problems—from irregular periods to PCOD, white discharge, fertility-related issues, menopausal symptoms n lot more that affects everyday life of females. I usually try to keep the language simple while dealing with patients cause honestly half of them come already confused or like really scared of what's happening inside their body... and if I use too much technical terms it just make it worse. I’ve been practicing in this space for couple of years now—don’t remember the exact month, maybe two or three year back? but anyway, what matters is I’ve seen how many of these problems get ignored till they turn serious. That’s something I feel strongly about. My goal is to help women understand their symptoms early and explain how Ayurveda can help gently but properly, whether it’s hormonal stuff or pain or cycle issues. I use classic Ayurvedic concepts like dosha analysis, ritucharya, n yoni vyapad chikitsa wherever it fits, but sometimes modern lifestyle really needs to be factored in too. Like if someone working night shift, no point telling them to wake up at 5am and do abhyanga daily—it won’t work. I’m practical about it. Anyway, I try my best to create a space where women feel heard. Lot of them said nobody actually explained them what’s going on before. And that’s like the saddest part. I feel my biggest strength is really just listening n tailoring the treatment to her routine, diet n stress pattern. Some cases are harder of course... things don’t always go fast, esp when it’s been neglected for yrs. But then Ayurveda’s not magic. It takes a little time—but results feel real n lasting when done right.

My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.

Dr. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I have been practicing as a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician since 1990, with over three decades of clinical experience in treating a wide range of chronic and lifestyle-related health conditions. My core areas of focus include hair disorders, skin diseases, and lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, arthritis, and stress-related imbalances. Over the years, I have developed a patient-centric approach that emphasizes deep-rooted healing through authentic Ayurvedic principles. My treatment philosophy is based on understanding the unique constitution (prakriti) and imbalance (vikriti) of each patient, allowing me to craft individualized care plans using classical formulations, diet corrections, detox therapies (shodhana), and lifestyle modifications. Whether it’s persistent hair fall, recurring skin allergies, or long-term metabolic disorders, I aim to address the root cause rather than just suppress symptoms. In the management of lifestyle disorders like diabetes and arthritis, I integrate Ayurvedic medicines with structured dinacharya (daily routines) and ahar (dietary guidance), focusing on sustainable results and long-term wellness. I also work extensively with stress-related concerns, offering holistic strategies that incorporate mind-body practices, including meditation, herbal support, and counseling rooted in Ayurveda. With a strong foundation in traditional Ayurvedic texts and decades of hands-on experience, I remain committed to providing safe, natural, and effective healthcare solutions. My goal is to guide patients toward a balanced life, free from chronic ailments, through personalized treatment protocols that restore harmony to both body and mind.
