The word ayurveda literally means 'Science of Life'. It is the fastest growing form of alternative medicine in the world. Using only simple and natural remedies, it works from a fundamental level and ensures that your body stays strong and healthy.

The key to weight management is effectively metabolizing what you eat, getting rid of waste efficiently and letting the digestive system get a break in between meals.

Eat three meals a day – a small breakfast and dinner, and a hearty lunch... don't forget to add a healthy mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack if you feel hungry.

Do not fast or skip meals. Fasting will only disrupt metabolism by not giving it anything to 'work on', on the days that you fast. Same with skipping meals – if your digestive system does not get something to work-on at the same time each day, it will not function at peak efficiency when you do eat.
