I can look very challenging to lose weight. if you are determined enough and if you know the simple basic rules that you could follow to reach the desired weight ... you will be able to achieve it.

The biggest challenge one can face while trying to lose weight is contrlling their food habits. so if we look at our food habits as something which you dont need to control but just something that you could redirect, things will get easier.

And more than the food part there are certain very simple practices that you could incorporate into your lifestyle with which slowly you will start seeing changes in your over all health and food choices too.

What actually we will be doing here is just give your self a taste of health by incorporating the basics of good health in your life.

Lets start with your morning routine

1 Sun, Air and earth

Wake up early just before the sun so that you can finish your morning ablutions and go out into the open. The best choice would be a garden or some lawn, if not the terrace or the balcony where you will have your first meal of the day. Sit in the warm rays of the morning sun, breath in fresh air and absorb the earths radiations too at the same time. The energy you will absorb here will enrich you and fulfill your energy needs to an extent.

2 Movement

Walk for a couple of kilometers if possible, join a yoga class or join some active outdoor sport to help your blood circulation and help your toxins move out. sweating helps a lot in removing the toxins from the body.

3 Whole plant based food

Let your breakfast be any fresh, locally grown seasonal fruit. Eat to your full. For lunch have any millet roti with more vegetables cooked in least oil,salt or spices. let the salt be organic. For dinner again it could be fruits or large bowl of salad or some simple whole plant based meal.

Things that you can avoid eating strictly are Processed and packaged food like stuff, dairy and other animal products, refined oils and flours,etc.

Basically eat lots of raw fruits and vegetables. And eat as little cooked as possible.

4 Rest

Sleep well at night atleast for 7 to eight hours from early hours of the night. Sleep helps your body to relax and release unwabted toxins and waste matter, which will help in reducing weight, ultimately.

So food is just a part of the whole routine, it is not the only thing that one needs to do. See which of these things you find the easiest to do, stick to it and do it religiously, follow the rest of the points as much as you can. With time you will start seeing lots of changes in your choices and preferances as your body wiil get back to its true self and start following the right choices. Keep reading health journeys of people on wellcure to stay motivated.

You can start by eating healthy, juicing a lot. Once your digestion and assimilation becomes efficient, your body will start shedding the excess. 

Losing or gaining healthy weight happens when your body and mainly your gut is in a good shape to absorb nutrients or shed the excess. The solution is the same for both the cases. Whatever is the imbalance the body decides and fixes it. High raw whole food plant based meal is your solution. Good sleep , exposure to sun, exercises that help you gain healthy muscles. 

Fats don’t come because you have nuts or avocado or coconut. Unless your body is ready to act on the food you eat, no food will help to lose or gain.

The more the body gets digestive rest from cooked and other wrong foods, it will heal u off the your problems and then build you muscles after u start working towards it

• Start drinking only fruit and veg cold pressed juices for 10 days. Nothing else. 3-4 lts a day
• After 10 days eat just stomach full of fruits and greens and occasional vegetables for rest of the month and nothing else.
• Workout in the gym for 1 hr daily / do 24 surya namaskara daily with regular breathIng.
