The Maharishi Ayurveda weight management programme emphasises bringing digestion and metabolism back to normal so that a comfortable weight is gained and maintained naturally, rather than counting calories. Kapha-related weight imbalance This type of imbalance is due to a lack of digestive fire (low agni) and low metabolic rate. Even though one eats very small amounts of food there is still gain of weight and accumulation of ama (toxins). The solution is to increase the metabolic rate and burn up the impurities. Exercise helps to burn ama and increases circulation and metabolism – do 30 minutes each day of brisk walking or other activities such as dancing, swimming or weight training. Follow a diet that stimulates digestion and reduces Kapha by favouring astringent, bitter, and pungent tastes and reducing salty, sweet, and sour foods. Kapha Churna and Digest Spice Mixes help with this. Be Trim 1 tablets support metabolism of fats, cholesterol and slow absorption of carbohydrates. (Ram’s Horn and Indian Kino help balance fat metabolism and slow carbohydrate absorption. Guggul helps balance fat metabolism and the accumulation of cholesterol). Sipping Be Trim Tea throughout the day supports elimination. Diffuse Be Trim Therapeutic Aroma in your bedroom at night and in the morning do a dry Garshan massage using coarse Garshan Silk Gloves to help increase circulation. Ayurvedic Massage: Maharishi Ayurveda - Ayurvedic Massage Once a week, preferably at the weekends, a gentle laxative therapy is recommended by using Herbal Cleanse capsules. This will further supports elimination of toxins, Pitta-related weight imbalance When excess weight accumulates, it obstructs the circulation of nutrients and can aggravate Pitta. This results in excess acid, a lot of thirst, irritability and an intense appetite for sweet, heavy, cooling foods — the very kind of foods that cause you to gain weight to begin with. Be Trim 2 tablets is a gentle blend that helps balance the appetite and stomach acid and support fat metabolism. As a result the excessive craving for sweet, heavy foods is reduced and the vicious cycle is broken. Be Trim 2 contains the same ingredients as Be Trim 1, without the Iron bhasma, but in different proportions. This herbalised water – 2 pinches ground fenugreek, 2 pinches liquorice root, 1/4 teaspoon whole coriander seeds, and 1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds in 1.5 litres of boiling water – sipped throughout the day supports digestion, purification and assimilation. Take moderate exercise 3-4 times/week and favour Pitta pacifying foods. Eat lots of sweet juicy fruits and add Digestive Spice Mix to your food. The cooling effect of precious sandalwood in Pitta Massage Oil will further help you to balance Pitta. Pacifying stress
By extending the digestion of carbohydrates over a period of time the Be Trim 1 & 2 tablets reduce cravings for sweets and help maintain a good appetite. When you experience sugar cravings try a cup of Be Trim Tea, a date, or a little lassi (1 part yoghurt: 3 parts water). Maharishi Ayurveda also recommends:
