To assist you in losing 15 kg healthily and sustainably, particularly after your recovery from lung tuberculosis, it is essential to adopt a holistic approach in line with Ayurvedic principles. Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole foods, including plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid processed foods, refined sugars, and excessive carbohydrates. Continue with intermittent fasting, ensuring that your eating window includes nutritious meals that support your metabolism. Incorporate herbal supplements such as Triphala (1 teaspoon at bedtime) to aid digestion and detoxification and Medohar Guggulu (500 mg twice daily) to support fat metabolism and weight management. Stay hydrated with warm water and herbal teas like ginger tea or peppermint tea to enhance digestion and curb appetite. Engage in regular physical activity, such as walking or yoga, for at least 30 minutes daily to promote calorie burning and improve overall vitality. Lastly, prioritize adequate sleep and manage stress through practices like meditation or deep breathing, as these factors significantly impact weight loss. Regular consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner will help tailor your regimen to your specific needs and ensure balanced health during your weight loss journey.

Losing weight can be quite a journey, but hey, it's great that you're already doing intermittent fasting. Let’s build on that with some Ayurvedic insights. First up, considering you're 41 and about 5'4", paying attention to your doshas is crucial. You may be having a Kapha Pitta imbalance, often seen with weight gain. Don't worry, it’s not as complicated as it sounds.
So, about your meals, try to have the biggest one midday when digestion, or 'agni', is strongest. Focus on warm, light foods — think soups, dals, and steamed veggies. Spices like cumin, ginger, and black pepper can stoke that digestive fire. I know it's tempting, but leave the heavy, oily stuff alone, as well as anything too cooling or sweet.
Exercise is key! Something like brisk walking or cycling 30 mins a day, most days of the week, should really help. Keep it upbeat, though — nothing too intense! Too much strain might trigger Pitta.
And water intake? It can be surprisingly impactful. Sip warm water throughout the day, and head out to bed a good hour or so after dinner — gotta give that digestion a head start. Oh, and here’s a quirky tip for ya: swing by an ayurvedic store and look for trikatu powder. It’s a classic blend to rev up metabolism. Remember, a pinch of that mixed with honey before meals might do wonders!
Sleep tight too — people overlook the sheer power of 7-8 hours of restful sleep. Your body repairs and balances itself then. Try to sync with natural rhythms, waking up before sunrise and affix a lull routine that helps you relax.
Lastly, a note of patience (yeah, I know it's hard!). While you're eager to drop those kilos, pacing yourself actually gets you those long-term results. Weight loss can be quick or slow — listen to your body. It’s not just about the scale but tuning into what makes you feel vibrant and balanced.
Give these tips a whirl, and trust the process. If anything feels off, chatting with an Ayurvedic physician in person can be an ace move too.
