Many of us associate slimming with a significant loss of weight... and for that, all means are good: drastic diets, deprivation, intensive sports practices, etc.
Ayurveda speaks rather of a healthy weight: to reach a morphology which is proper to us, to find our natural silhouette. Our predominant dosha can, in fact, influence our physical appearance: Pittas are rather of average height and weight whereas Vatas have a fine bone structure and do not gain much weight unlike Kaphas who are often more corpulent.
Starting from this premise, aiming for a model size is not an objective in itself. It is possible to lose weight and to consider, therefore, a diet but to find one's healthy weight. It is also and above all necessary to know how to accept oneself as we are and to respect our Ayurvedic constitution, which determines our natural morphology.
Ayurveda, more than a traditional medicine, is an art of living. It gives keys to adopt a healthy lifestyle and feel good in body and mind.
This is why, if there is a diet, it must be approached in a serene state of mind without strong constraints. It must allow you to purify and detoxify yourself in order to regain a general well-being.
Identify the causes of your overweight
You won't gain anything by starting a diet without understanding why and how you have accumulated extra weight.
It is therefore important to take a look at one's daily life and habits. According to some Ayurvedic research, it has been found that eating at irregular hours can lead to the weakening of the Agni or digestive fire. This results in increased fat storage.
Eating too many meals composed of sugar, oil, fatty meat also contributes to weakening the Agni. You damage your digestive function which can lead to unwanted weight gain.
Of course, the lack of physical activity is not to be dismissed. Sport brings movement and circulates our vital energy. Making it part of a daily routine (in a more or less intense way) allows us to preserve our body, to stay in shape and to keep illnesses away.
A few body details alert you to the need for a diet. Your body odor is disturbing, you have no libido, you feel many pains in your body. In addition, you no longer enjoy yourself and you are morose.
Start losing weight at the right time
There is no right time to decide to lose weight. Even after eating a piece of cake, you can get the hang of it and start your journey to a healthy weight.
Just make sure you have enough willpower not to quit the next day. Ask yourself the right questions: What will you eat to replace the products you are avoiding? What should you eat if you are invited to a restaurant or a friend's house? When should you allow yourself a little pleasure? What sport do you prefer to do 30 minutes a day for the whole week?
It is often recommended that dieters write down all of their goals and make a plan of action before taking action. Once you have all the answers, you will have no trouble losing weight.
After losing the first few pounds, you will certainly enter the stagnation process. Here again, you must find every way to not give up along the way.
Indulge yourself and lose weight
But first of all, you shouldn't think of dieting as deprivation. In fact, losing weight can also be a pleasure when you know what awaits you at the end. You will have a nicely sculpted body and you will be in very good health.
The most important thing is to feel good about yourself, as soon as a diet becomes too restrictive or burdensome, it will affect your morale and will result in less weight loss or even none at all.
Starting a diet is therefore something voluntary and conscious that must be thought out and rationalized. You must enjoy it and remain positive throughout the diet to fully feel its effects.
