Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hi, I would really like to know more about how diet control can help me reduce weight or rather keep my weight under control? After pregnancy, I haven't been able to get back to my original weight. According to my height/age, I am still 5kgs overweight. I am very keen on reducing those extra kilos as well as maintaining it. I have read a lot of articles. Some suggest exercise, while some strict diet. Due to my hectic schedule it becomes very difficult to find time for exercising. Hence diet control seem to render some hope. I have stopped eating rice completely for last 2 months. Although this hasn't shown any change in my weight. I want to know whether I am doing the right thing or is there a way where I can achieve the results that I want? Also, the only exercise I manage to do during the week is 20 mins daily walk + 1 hr swimming once a week. Please assist me with your valuable suggestions & expertise. Thanks Jyoti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Thanks for your reply. Fasting for one day in a week sounds achievable. But if it leads to acidity problems should this be stopped? Or can be substituted with somethink like buttermilk etc?

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 The weight gain after pregnancy is due to Vata vitiation. The intervention in natural childbirth is the basic cause. Several other reasons are dealt with in links given in ayurveda/message/7833 And how to deal with fat which body could not shade after pregnancy is discussed in: ayurveda/message/5786 Excess weight is a symptom of liver *dysfunction* and not solely due to the number of calories you consume, as explained in the message ayurveda/message/8205 Importance of liver is also discussed in ayurveda/message/9076 A testimonial to the weight loss by adopting a slightly difficult diet regime is available at: ayurveda/message/12819 However, whether you should take any of these routes depends on whether you are still nursing the baby. Leaving the choice of measures to a nearby vaidya is best.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Many times Fasting results in Hyperacidity in some individuals . But it can be managed by simply consuming 250 ml of chilled milk in the morning . The use of coconut water is also helpful . The use of 2 tsf of Fenugreek powder in the morning & evening with water will be good too . ________________ Fasting for one day in a week sounds achievable.
