Of the four dimensions of our being, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, in this article I will cover the Physical Dimension which is most important for the reduction of Kapha and the correlating reduction in weight.
Weight Loss Tips from Ayurveda:
1. Ayurvedic Diet for Weight Loss:
Obviously an anti-kapha diet is the place to start when looking to lose weight. This means eating lots of fruits, vegetables, spicy foods and whole grains.
2. Exercise for Weight Loss:
The following Ayurvedic guidelines should be followed for proper exercise with regard to weight loss:
* More Exercise the Better: Kapha\’s qualities of fixed, dull, heavy, soft and cold are all negated via exercise. In other words, the more exercise you do the more you reduce Kapha and therefore fat in your body.
* Exercise Without Excessive Strain: According to Ayurveda, Kapha individuals need the most vigorous exercise, but at the same time, the exercise should never be extreme. Find a good balance between doing too little and over doing it. Breaking a nice sweat is good, but being totally breathless is probably too much.
* Be Consistent: A Kapha body type has a propensity towards weight gain so you need to make exercise a daily part of you life. The hardest part will be to get the exercise program underway. Once this is done Kapha people tend to be very determined and steady, so they will be able to adhere to it long term. Getting started though is another matter for Kapha types and usually requires shock treatment. In the spirit of shock treatment, understand that by NOT exercising and NOT losing the weight you are putting your longevity and quality of life at risk. Enough said, start today!
* Yoga for Weight Loss: Yoga offers an excellent way to include holistic exercises into your fitness program. These exercises will not just help you lose weight, but will also help your overall health and well-being.
* Post Exercise Diet: After exercises do not drink cold liquids. This period is key as you are trying to increase the metabolic fire in your cells so they burn more calories and drinking cold liquids at this time will negate this important benefit which exercise bestows.
3. Hard Physical Work to Burn Calories:
According to Ayurveda reduction of Kapha is promoted by living a physical, active lifestyle. In today\’s age of technology, computers, TVs, TiVO, internet, etc, manual labor is getting more rare for people to do. So you need to consciously incorporate physical work into your life. Whether that be mowing the lawn, tending to the garden or shoveling snow, it is important to not live a sedentary live of watching TV and eating twinkies.
4. Massage Therapy to Reduce Fat:
There are many treatment modalities in Ayurveda of which massage is highly recommended. In the context of weight loss and reducing Kapha, strong massage with light oils such as mustard or flaxseed is helpful.
5. Sleep Guidelines for Weight Loss:
No napping or going to bed early. If you want to reduce Kapha and weight remember you burn more calories when you are awake and being active, than when you are happily snuggled under the blanket.
The above recommendations will surely help you with your weight loss goals and in addition to helping you get slim, they will also make you more healthy and fit.

im the same. 18, 5′3″ ish i think, and like 140!! :[[[[ ive cut out carbs (bottom of the food triangle), cut out sodas, and candy. and i do 30-50 mins or cardio 2-3 times daily. cardio is like running, its fat burners. so if you go to the gym you can go on the elliptical or treadmill. i usually go on the elliptical for 30 mins on its highest climb. then i go on that bike thing for 20 mins. and then i try to sprint or jog on the treadmill for 10. stick to a diet and workout plan, we can do it! <3

Simply do nothing that involves your standing on your feet. Swimming is a great one or do chin ups.. you know.. grab a bar, a branch and lift your body up to your chin, then relax back down.
This will stretch your spine and it is the very thing that helps my spine decompress.
The only thing, it isn't easy finding things to hang off of so I learned that I achieve the same thing by supporting my weight one hand on the table, the other on the kitchen and i leave my body hanging for 2 mins at the time.
Also for a normal (non drastic) diet that works I do this:

There's no books that can beat your own common sense approach to exercise.
Modify your eating style to suit your "desired new you".
Eat loads of fresh veggie/ no bread/ no red meat or processed food.
Don't cheat~!
Make a Solid but firm commitment to a daily workout routine. Just plain walking works the best. Start out walking what is your max distance. STAY THE COURSE AND, push yourself each and every day..
I lost 50 lbs by doing this since the first of Jan. I am at my new comfortable level of 148lbs. I walk 5 to 10 miles every day~many days, I will also throw in a bike ride on top of that. When I can, I climb mountains in NH for additional workout. The main thing is to push push yourself to a better you.
this is a workout for non obese people.
I have been through it all and know what's it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can't be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I've worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.
Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.
First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can't eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising…
This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it's good for the heart.
However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It's so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I've found a great addition to help any one out, it's a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don't get all crazy on me and say diet pills don't work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn't meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It's an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace.com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it's the best pill I've tried and I've tried cupboards full. Now this doesn't mean you have to follow my foot steps but I've successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.
Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.
I don't know what age you are…but there are a LOT of fun work out dvds that you can use at home! I do all of my work outs at home with these dvds and have awesome results with them. Go to Collagevideo.com and they have all kinds of them to chose from!
fast is not always a safe way to lose weight. The real key to weight loss is to burn more calories than you take in (sounds simple).
here is a guide to weight loss that can show you some online tools that will help you lose weight (track what you eat, think of exercises to do, etc)

diet beat excercise son
you can kill yourself to the gym but you can’t lose weight if your diet is bad
here’s the deal a human body needs 2000 calories per day to function very well, if you take 2300 calories per day and just doing simple walk or even your normal routine you can burn more than 300 calories that means your burning more calories from your body
then if you work your ass out more you can burn more calories
Every exercise plan should include these three types of exercise:
1. Cardio (Running, walking 3.5-4 mph, jogging, anything that really gets your heart going)
2. Strength training (weight lifting in various positions; bicep curls, leg/calf curls, etc;)
3. Flexibility (stretching for the appropriate amount of time before and after cardio and strength training.)
1. Cardio: In order to lose weight, the FDA(Or whomever regulates this kind of thing) recommends 5 days of cardio, for 30-45 minutes each day. (In my case, I've been jogging/running 5 days a week–Monday through Friday.)
2. Strength training: In order to build muscle without over-exerting yourself, the rule of thumb is: One day in, one day out. For example: If you start strength training on Monday, you take Tuesday off. then do strength training again on Wednesday. This is so that your muscles will have time to rest, heal and adapt to the force they're exerting. Do not skimp out on 'down time'. Even Mr. Universe has to take some downtime! Mine, as a beginner is 3 times a week. I do things like pushups, sit ups, and some bicep curls. If you intend to also work your lower body, split that up within the week.
3. Flexibility. This is the most neglected type of exercise. It's very important that you don't skimp out on this, since it's the easiest, basic part of exercise. I call it the "duh" exercise, since we're told we should stretch before doing -anything-. You should stretch each group of muscles for 3 minutes before and after any exercising. I do this all 7 days a week since it takes very little time and you are supposed to be increasing your level of flexibility. It's very easy to skip a few days of stretching and become very stiff.
I hope this is what you were wanting! I'm also linking you to a website that I thought was very, very helpful in my case.
