Fighting obesity is tough. But sometimes even after excessive dieting and exercise s(he) cannot get rid of the stubborn adipocytes (fat cells) that settle on your abdomen and thighs. These cells are very stubborn that they don’t give up easily and for some people whose BMR is low these cells simply don’t budge.
Weight-loss in an Ayurvedic way deals with proper flushing of toxins that accumulate in the body due to chaotic life-style, stress and tension that is mainly caused due to over-eating, irregularities in eating, when they are angry or depressed.
In Ayurvedic treatment of weight-loss, it mainly increases the “digestive fire”, i.e., it increases your metabolic rate, so that the foods that you eat are properly and quickly burnt. BMR plays an important role in your weight management.

7. Do move regularly a little bit after every meal. At-least for 5-10 minutes.
8. For the mid-afternoon meal try few dry-fruits, or a fruit, tea with biscuits or have coconut water.
9. Make sure you finish your dinner before 8 PM, as your metabolism becomes weakest at that time of hour. Hence keep your dinner very light and easily digestible. Maintain a gap of 2 hours between your dinner and sleep.
10. If possible, go for a walk after about 30 minutes of your dinner, this will further aid in digestion. Have a tablespoon or a tablet of triphala with water. 
11. Ensure you have a sleep for about 8 hours on an average. A proper sound sleep is very important to maintain your health. Your body needs to recover from exertions of the day and it rejuvenates itself while sleeping.
