There is nothing frustrating or disappointing when it comes to hard work, especially when it comes to exercise and diet. It’s frustrating when you go through all the steps to lose weight: stay focused and persistent, but, after all your efforts, you don’t have much to show for it.

The science of Ayurveda has a new and different way of exercising and losing weight that you may have never heard of, and the results are amazing. Ayurvedic ideas for diet and exercise differ from North American diet and exercise habits.



Here is the testimony of one of my clients:

I went to Erica for health problems and wanted to lose weight. Erica tested me and put together a health and weight loss program directly for me! Includes Ayurvedic diet plan and lifestyle as well as specific Ayurvedic treatments. I have lost 60 pounds [18 kg], my sleep has improved, and I am not suffering from epilepsy. The program was easy to follow and I never felt deprived. I feel good.

One of the first notable differences is that the diet or diet of the Ayurvedic diet is based on your basic qualities and the foods you eat. The resources of land, water, fire, air and space must be used to your advantage. Your diet and fitness will be determined by Ayurvedic tests. Another significant difference is that we all need to live in relation to our diet and lifestyle. There is a connection between you, your diet, your habits and the natural world. And in order to lose weight, you need to think about this.


Almost everywhere we look at nature there are creatures that involve some form of daily meeting process. The natural world as a whole is deeply influenced by the rhythm of nature - the rising and setting of the sun, the cycles of the seasons, and the subtle desires that drive a large community of life. While there is often a certain level of seasonal variation, many plants and animals experience an unexpected daily rhythm and, as a rule, live within that rhythm. As human beings, we have deviated from this practice. But at a basic level, our physiology is radically altered - and supported - in a more general sense. The diet is no different.

Here are some simple reasons why you should not lose weight and how Ayurveda can help you:

You are not eating the right food. Eat basic foods that meet your needs.

You do not eat enough. The idea is simple: eat a lot of good food. You probably think "Eat too much to lose weight"? Certainly not right ”. It may seem counterintuitive, but if you do not eat enough of the right foods, you will probably not be able to lose weight.


It is more important when you eat than what you eat. In North America, people eat 5-6 small meals a day while eating Ayurvedic food, eating three times a day at the same time each day. Eat your main meal during the day. This principle is to align your eating habits with the environment. The sun is very high during the day, which is a sign of the body. In America, we eat a lot when we eat. Several times just a few hours before bedtime.

He eats very bad food. Sometimes a little food is important. If your digestive system is bad or if you are used to eating when you are not really hungry, you will need to eat less. In Ayurveda, different amounts of food are needed at different times depending on your situation. The more you eat, the harder it will be to lose weight.

You are under pressure. Does stress play a bigger role in your daily life than you would like? For many of us, the answer to that question is yes! Pressure is a universal phenomenon in modern human knowledge, and although some pressure is acceptable, and productive, we now understand that too much stress will be harmful and can put our health, physically, emotionally and emotionally at risk. Ayurveda offers a great perspective on stress management, especially at meal times. Don't get into stressful situations when eating out. Eat in a quiet and comfortable place. When working, do not eat at your desk or in the car. Get out and stay in the park! Use Also perform meditation and breathing exercises to reduce stress.


You exercise too much. We can end up doing worse than good. If we do not feed our bodies properly, exercise can be very stressful, leading to excessive production of cortisol (a stress hormone), which often leads to weight gain.

You do not get enough sleep. Guess: not getting enough sleep or not seeing at the right time is not just about our emotions and our focus. If you do not get enough sleep or sleep too late, it can affect your ability to maintain a healthy weight. In addition, when you are tired your body actually releases a lot of hormones that make you hungry. This also means that you think you need food when your body doesn't really need it.

He likes to drink cold water. Drink only a cup of warm water with your food. Never drink cold water.

Now what are the solutions?

In Ayurveda, digestion is the root of all diseases and conditions. If you eat the wrong foods at the wrong time or do not follow any of these examples, it will lead to poor digestion. When food is not well digested  "AMA" is formed. They precede many diseases.

Make sure you eat enough. Instead of counting calories and concentrating on that, focus on fresh foods, whole grains, lean protein, and drink plenty of water so you don't overeat while eating. dehydrated. Sleep well.
