Hi,
Thanks for contacting with your health concern and after reviewing your health concern I'm of the following opinion:
1. As these days, market and online site are full of
weight loss products, so in the best interest, it will be wise to refine your search and check for authenticity of the product by reading the reviews about the same.
2. As I personally don't advocate the use of fat burner since apart from their high price and easy availability they do increase the metabolic rate, as well as the person, does get addicted to the same, and these changes aren't long-standing, so prefer natural methods of weight loss instead of going for any medicine(s)
i. There is a limit to how much one can exercise every day. An average (nonathlete) person cannot run or exercise vigorously for more than 30 minutes i.e. you cannot burn more than 300 calories through EXERCISE every day! So it is important to control the tongue, along with whatever exercise you do.
ii. Avoid sedentary lifestyle, day time sleeping after meals, newly harvested rice, curd, butter, ghee, cheese, cream, chocolates, cakes, pastries, ice-creams, jams, oils should be reduced to a minimum, avoid deep-fried foods like puries, bhajees, potato chips. Avoid potatoes, sweet potatoes, beets, yam, nuts, fruits with sweet pulp like mango, chickoos, bananas and grapes. Avoid processed and tinned foods, opt for fresh foods. Drinking
cold water after exercise. Eliminate all cold food and drink; you should eat nothing that is refrigerator cold.
iii. What to eat: start the meal with a large bowl of thin soup, followed by a good volume of salads prepared with green vegetables (cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, cucumber, sprouted pulses). This will prevent you from taking extra servings of the meals. Drink plenty of water and diluted buttermilk. Avoid rice, take roti or phulka, without oil or ghee. The bhaji servings should be prepared from green leafy vegetables, onions, cauliflower’s, lady’s finger, radish, turnips, mushrooms, sprouted pulses. Oil may be substituted by gravy of tomato, onion, garlic, and ginger, in the curry or bhaji for taste. For morning and evening snacks, take recommended fruits, vegetables, and low fat (skimmed) milk, black tea without sugar has negligible calories. Carbohydrates: fat requires carbohydrates to burn, so take them in moderation like grains.
PS.
- Ayurveda though is a slower process, but in case of weight loss: haste makes waste, so one has to be gradual in his approach.
- It is wise to take vitamin and mineral supplementation during this period, to ensure that your body does not lack any nutrients.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
