There are multiple factorsthat contribute to obesity. A multi pronged approach is required to learnthe cause of obesity and then devising the counter measures. The first step isto get tested for level of certain hormones in your blood. The second step isto assess the kind of diet you are taking. The third step is to assess yourlifestyle pattern. I am listing the steps where I have been able to help manyindividuals lose weight in the past. You can use them and make sure you followthem with discipline and diligence.
Get yourselftested for T3, T4 and TSH. It is a single test. The test can indicateunder active thyroid gland which is quite common in post delivery period. Thetest can help in assessing the severity level and whether the cause of obesityis under active thyroid gland.
You have todrastically reduce the consumption of carbohydrates from your diet. Myrecommendation is to cut them to half from current levels. This includescutting down on flat breads (Roti, Naan), baked breads, rice, potatoes and allprocessed snacks (biscuits, potato chips, instant noodles and ready-to-frysnacks). Replace this with salads and fruits. Make sure you take time to eatyour meal. Eat slowly and chew properly. Avoid sugar laden colas and smoothies.
Do not drinkwater after the meal. Keep a gap of at least thirty minutes.
Take ateaspoon of Triphala Powder with lukewarm water first thing in the morning. Youcan also take 2 tablets of Triphala if the taste of powder is too overwhelmingfor you. Continue this treatment for at least six months.
Consume only virgincold pressed oils for cooking. Coconut Oil, Mustard Oil, Olive Oil and SesameOil are some of the oils that can be used for cooking. Refined and DoubleRefined oils should be completely shunned. You can also use Desi Cow Ghee forcooking and also add a tablespoon of it to hot milk for taking its advantage forweight loss.
Practice SuryaMudra for 15 minutes twice during the day.
Step up yourphysical activity. Take a thirty minute walk in morning or evening. There aresafe warm up exercises that you can take up. All you need is 15 minutes on afairly empty stomach. Learn it from an expert and continue them at your owntime.
Sleep before 10 PM. This will help in correcting your circadian rhythm and will correct sugar metabolism of your body.
