Metabolism Issues - #44
Kavya
Hi! I think I have metabolism issues. For long time, I lose weight and then gain back very fast. It make me very sad. I try diet, eat healthy food but my body not changed. I also try to do exercises every day, but I feel tired all time and no energy. I drink water a lot, but nothing help me. I feel very confusion about my body. I hear Ayurveda can help with metabolism and bring balance. Can you give me some advice or remedies?

Dear Rajesh,
Creating a personalised Ayurvedic weight loss program involves assessing your metabolism, Agni, dosha involvement , lifestyle, and preferences. Here’s a structured approach:
Step 1: Assessment
Identify Your Dosha: Understanding your primary dosha (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha) helps tailor your program. Each dosha has different characteristics that influence dietary and lifestyle choices.
Assessment of metabolism & Agni will help as the root cause of the disorder is Agni malfunction.
Current Weight and Goals: Note your current weight, target weight, and any specific health concerns.
Step 2: Diet Plan
General Guidelines:
Focus on Sattvic Foods: Fresh, whole, and minimally processed foods.
Aim for warm, cooked meals to support digestion.
Drink warm water only.
Sample Daily Meal Plan:
Breakfast:
Warm oatmeal with fruits (e.g., apples or berries) and nuts.
Herbal tea (ginger or peppermint).
Mid-Morning Snack:
A small handful of almonds or walnuts.
Lunch:
A large salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, carrots, and a source of protein (chickpeas or lentils) dressed with olive oil and lemon.
A side of quinoa or brown rice.
Afternoon Snack:
Herbal tea (like chamomile) and a small piece of dark chocolate or a fruit.
Dinner:
Steamed vegetables (like broccoli, carrots, and zucchini) with spices (turmeric, cumin).
A portion of lentil soup or dal.
Before Bed:
A cup of warm milk with a pinch of turmeric or a herbal tea to promote relaxation.
Step 3: Herbal Remedies
Guggulu: Consider taking guggulu supplements to help with metabolism.
Triphala: Take Triphala daily to aid digestion and detoxification.
Fenugreek Seeds: Soak a teaspoon of fenugreek seeds overnight and consume in the morning to help regulate blood sugar and reduce cravings.
Step 4: Exercise Plan
Daily Activity: Aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity daily (walking, jogging, or cycling).
Yoga: Incorporate yoga sessions 2-3 times a week, focusing on poses that aid digestion and metabolism, such as:
Twists: To stimulate the digestive organs.
Sun Salutations: To boost energy and metabolism.
Step 5: Lifestyle Changes
Routine: Establish a consistent daily routine (Dinacharya) to regulate body rhythms.
Sleep: Prioritize 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night.
Stress Management: Engage in meditation or mindfulness practices to reduce stress.
Step 6: Monitoring and Adjustments
Weekly Check-Ins: Weigh yourself weekly to track progress.
Journaling: Keep a food and exercise journal to reflect on what works and what needs adjustment.
Step 7: Consultation
Ayurvedic Practitioner: Consider working with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized herbal supplements and further guidance.
Final Note
Personalization is crucial in Ayurveda, so listen to your body and adjust the program as needed. Consistency and a holistic approach will support your weight loss journey effectively.

From an Ayurvedic view, the ups and downs in weight and constant fatigue may be due to an imbalance in Agni (digestive fire), which is responsible for metabolism, energy, and nutrient absorption. When Agni is weak or irregular, it leads to cycles of gaining and losing weight, low energy, and confusion in the body’s natural rhythm. Here are some focused Ayurvedic steps to support your Agni and help stabilize your metabolism:
1. Warm Ginger Water in the Morning: Each morning, start with a cup of warm water infused with a few slices of fresh ginger. Ginger is warming and helps ignite Agni gently, setting up your digestion and energy for the day.
2. Regular, Light Meals: Eat three balanced meals at the same time each day and avoid heavy snacking. This helps regulate Agni, allowing your metabolism to stabilize and digest food efficiently. Start with lighter meals and build up as your energy improves.
3. Triphala Before Bed: Taking Triphala, an Ayurvedic herb blend, helps cleanse the digestive system, which improves nutrient absorption and supports metabolism. Mix 1/2 teaspoon in warm water before bed; this gentle cleanse strengthens Agni without being harsh on the body.
