Your condition is Kapha-Vata metabolic disorder with Meda dhatu excess (obesity + sugar cravings + fatigue). It can improve without surgery, but requires steady routine and correct medicines. Do not stop BP medicines suddenly. Simple Ayurvedic medicines and dose For weight reduction and metabolism Medohar Guggulu Dose 2 tablets twice daily after food Trikatu churna Dose half teaspoon before meals twice daily For sugar control and cravings Guduchi churna Dose 3 grams twice daily Meshashringi (Gurmar) churna Dose 2 grams twice daily before meals For digestion and bloating Avipattikar churna Dose 3 grams at night with warm water For stress and sleep (important for weight) Ashwagandha Dose 500 mg at night with warm milk or water Simple daily routine (fit your schedule) Morning Warm water with dry ginger powder Light walk 20 minutes Meals (very important) Avoid gluten bread, dairy, sugar (as you already noticed intolerance) Use millets, moong dal, vegetables, soups Lunch: biggest meal Dinner: light, before 8:30 pm if possible

Kindly go with following mediciens: 1.Medohara guggulu 2 tab twice daily with water after meals 2.Hingwashtak churna 1 tsp twice daily with warm water before meals 3.Nishamalaki churna 1/2 tsp with warm water once daily in the morning before breakfast 4.Meshashringi tablets 1 tab twice daily with water 30 min before meals 5.Amritasrishta 20 ml with 20 ml water twice daily after meals Targeted Strategy for Your Lifestyle Since your long commute and late working hours are significant hurdles, we can adjust your routine to be more “metabolism-friendly” without requiring hours of extra time. 1. Managing Sugar Cravings & Bloating The “Gurmar” Trick: Meshashringi is known as the “sugar destroyer.” Taking it before meals can help neutralize the taste of sugar and significantly reduce the urge to snack. Gluten/Dairy/Sugar Holiday: Since you’ve noticed bloating with these, try replacing bread with millets or rice-based alternatives. Use ginger and cumin in your cooking to prevent gas. 2. Commute-Friendly Metabolism Boost Sips on the Go: Carry a thermos of warm water with dry ginger powder (Sunthi) or Trikatu Churna. Sipping this during your 2-hour commute helps ignite your Agni (digestive fire) and burns Ama. Breathwork (Pranayama): Practice 5 minutes of Anulom Vilom during your commute (if you are not driving) or when you arrive home to lower cortisol, which is a major driver of abdominal weight. 3. Timing Your Meals Lunch is Priority: Try to make your 1:00 PM or 2:00 PM meal your largest. Since you work until 9:30 PM, eat a very light, soup-based dinner before you leave work (around 7:00 PM) rather than a heavy meal late at night.
