I have tried many things to reduce my weight. First thing was to skip my breakfast, but that made me eat more during lunch time, so I quit that..

Then I went for regular 45 minutes walks, which made me feel better and I followed that for 3 months. It gave me good results, then again I could not continue, then I did cycling at home that also helped me in reducing my weight.

Whatever I did, I could not regularly do. After I stopped the particular thing then again my weight will increase. I heard about naturopathy treatment and I decided to go for that. First day they checked my weight and height and my body mass index- BMI was a little high, so they prepared a chart of what I should do.

I had to get up at 5 AM in the morning and I had to do yoga and meditation, then I had herbal tea which made me fresh and energetic as it was mixed with jaggery, then half an hour of brisk walking, then I would lie in the mild sunlight at 7 am in the morning and applied special mud in the stomach which kept my stomach cool and improved mydigestive system.

Then massaging my whole body which helped me relax and circulatory system and also helped shape the body and helped in weight reduction and lastly, cold water hip bath that also believed to help reduce my weight.

The most important part was the diet they asked me to follow, so I had lot of fruits and vegetables. I was allowed to eat lots of grapes which helped in reducing my weight and could eat all fruits except banana and chickoo which would lead to weight gain.

I had bottleguard juice which cooled the body and helped in reducing weight and ate a lot of protein rich foods like green gram and black gram, and also had lot of sprouts and nuts like badam- almonds and cashews which were good for brain and heart.

So with the help of naturopathy treatment and good food habits I am maintaining weight. Whatever you do,do it regularly that gives one best results and makes life happy.
