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.
