Weight loss has been a weighty issue for many years and it doesn’t seem to be getting any lighter. Pun intended. The weight loss industry rakes in millions of dollars every year with easy weight loss tricks, weight loss supplements, nutrition gimmicks, diet books and workout videos that promise you the perfect body.
There is such a thing as a healthy weight, the ideal weight that is completely unique and individual to you, at which all your organ systems function to their highest capacity and ensure a long and healthy life without major illness and complication.
Rather then forcing the issue with restrictive diet, supplements, and plain out unhealthy weight loss approaches, the ancient sister science of Yoga, Ayurveda, suggests that there are simple ways to reach your ideal weight without the struggle and craziness.
In the video below Simon Chokoisky, faculty member at the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, and author of the book “The 5 Dharma Types – Vedic Wisdom For Discovering Your Purpose And Destiny” Shares with us 5 surprisingly simple tips to not only regulate your cravings but also lose weight without jumping on the diet train!
