Hello Sumit ji,
I can understand your concern regarding weight gain. Weight gain generally happens due to low metabolism, irregular meals, lack of activity, and excess cravings for sweets/junk food. But dont worry we are here to help you outđ
â AYURVEDIC MEDICATIONS
1. Triphala powder â Take 1 tsp with warm water at night. Helps detoxify and improve digestion.
2. Medohar Guggulu 2-0-2 after food â Useful in reducing excess fat (to be taken only after consulting a doctor).
3 Slimlim 2-0-2 after food
âď¸HOME REMEDIES
1 Warm water + lemon in the morning â Flushes toxins, improves metabolism. 2 Fenugreek (methi) seeds â Soak overnight and chew in the morning; reduces sugar cravings. 3. Green gram (moong dal) & barley water â Light food options that help in fat metabolism.
â DIET AND LIFESTYLE TIPS
đEat 2 major meals only when truly hungry; avoid frequent snacking.
đPrefer warm, light, freshly cooked meals. Avoid cold drinks, fried foods, refined sugar, and packaged items.
đInclude more vegetables, whole grains (millets, barley), seasonal fruits.
đReplace sweets/junk food with dry fruits in moderation (figs, dates, raisins) when cravings arise.
đDrink warm water throughout the day to mobilize fat.
đRegular walking, yoga (Surya Namaskar, Kapalabhati, twisting poses) and pranayama reduce fat and balance hormones.
No supplement alone will help unless combined with dietary control + daily movement.
Crash dieting or over-exercising is not advised â slow and steady reduction is best.
Wish you a good healthđ
Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Reducing body weight in a sustainable and balanced manner involves understanding and addressing the root cause, especially through the lens of Ayurveda. Your description indicates an imbalance in Kapha dosha, which often results in a sluggish metabolism, accumulation of excess body fat, and cravings for sweet and heavy foods.
Firstly prioritize your diet, focusing on foods that are light and warming. Incorporate more fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Spices like ginger, black pepper and turmeric can aid in stimulating agni, your digestive fire, helping to metabolize fats effectively. Itâs important to eat three balanced meals a day without snacking in between to maintain steady digestion. Try to have your largest meal at midday when digestion is strongest.
Counteract Cravings with Ayurveda. Instead of reaching for sweets and junk food when the craving hits, drink a cup of warm water with a teaspoon of honey and a pinch of cinnamon. This not only satisfies sugar cravings but helps in reducing Kapha.
Physical activity is crucial, even a daily 30-minute brisk walk can boost metabolism and balance Kapha. Find a consistent time for exercise to create routine. Practicing yoga or other calming exercises can also help reduce cravings by stabilizing your emotional statesâŚ
Regarding supplements, while some Ayurvedic herbs like Triphala, Guggul, or Pippali could be beneficial due to their metabolism-boosting properties, itâs important to consult with a professional before starting any herb, ensuring it aligns with your individual Pakriti and condition.
Avoid eating late at night or consuming heavy meals in the evening, as digestion naturally slows down in the later part of the day. Finally, sleep is as critical as diet and exercise in weight management, so aim for a regular sleep pattern to help harmonize your bodyâs natural rhythms.
