Over Weight-2
I don’t still lose weight, what
else can I do?
Liver is the organ which balances the metabolism in the body. The fat
deposition and everything is controlled by liver. Sometimes if liver
is cleansed it will help to lose weight. Hence a castor oil cleanse in
recommended once a month or once in two months. This is also good for
detoxifying the body. . This will cause weight loss especially tummies
go away. See details of this in castor oil cleansing section.
Remember you are not only reducing weight with all these Pancha Bhoota
techniques, but also keeping you healthy.
Do I have make changes in diet?
The nature of the fat, carbohydrate and protein that you eat
contribute to weight gain. Eating more fiber rich food will change the speed
of absorption of fat and sugars. This influences insulin secretion in
the body and also mode of fat conversion by liver.
Liver is the manager of the body giving instructions about fat storage in
the body. Water therapy cleanses liver every day to some extent and whole
foods does the remaining part. So keeping the liver healthy is a way to
reduce fat in the body.
Eating natural sugars instead of white sugar also has great influence on
body fat. Avoid white sugar instead use brown sugar,
jaggery
, palm jaggery,
dates, raisins etc. These sweet sources supply nutrients, minerals and
vitamins in addition to sweetness.
Whole grains and lots of vegetables -
the best solution
In our personal experience to reduce weight (2007) found that eating every
day different whole grains rich in high fiber helps
tremendously in reducing weight.
We recommend using
fiber
rich whole grains like
brown rice (remember to soak in water and cook), whole rye flakes (33%
fiber compared to 20% fiber in oats), whole wheat flakes (28%), barley
flakes (26%). Millets like
Ragi
rich in fiber. In all ancient traditions,
people ate
different types of grains and millets
many of the readers might be unaware of the names.
These millets give different
nourishment that help prevent many diseases like cardiovascular,
diabetes, cancer etc. millet, kodo-millet.
The best part is in eating more leafy vegetables (less vegies like
potato) and fiber rich vegetables and decreasing the rice and wheat part in
the diet. Eating different vegetables instead of routine vegetables is the
key in reducing weight in a healthy way.
By eating more vegetables and reducing the amount of grains in diet we found
amazing results in reducing weight.
"Elacchavanukku Ellu , Koluthavanukku Kollu" is a
popular Tamil saying which means that, for a slim person black sesame is
good and for an obese horse-gram or brown lentil is good. Brown lentil is
rich in fiber and before serving one tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon
juice should be added. Eating every day horse gram or lentils will cut down
the weight of the body without causing exhaustion.
This popular ancient saying is now proved by
modern science. Read this article which says
Obesity: Lentils Better Than White Bread For Dieting.
We found through experience that eating everyday more steamed vegetables as
such or in form of soups without adding any artificial flavors or soup
powders is a good way to burn extra fat. Try using more black pepper than
red or green chili powder. Similarly adding less salt especially at the time
of taking food reduces the salt intake and water retention in the body.
Still if I don’t lose
weight what should I do?
Next Is doing a juice fasting, once a day in a week. Juice fasting
once a week ( week end is better). Avoid solid foods and drink only
fresh fruit and vegetable juices. This will burn fat in the body
and also supply you good nourishments from these juices. If you feel
little
sick in the evening, its because of detoxification process then drink
half a cup of mild coffee. Click here to see details about

times walking at least 2 hours is suggested as the most effective way to reduce weight.
