The Ayurvedic Approach to Weight Loss

Yoga is part of the detox wellness program at Sukhavati Ayurvedic Wellness Retreat BaliOne obstacle that many people encounter when trying to lose weight is the ability to stay motivated throughout the journey. Whether it’s because the kilos have suddenly stopped dropping off after several weeks of visible results, the prepared meals are becoming a bit too familiar week after week, or you’re just not seeing the results you were hoping for, it’s no wonder people feel like they’re taking one step forward and two steps back.

For many people who may not be getting the results they desire, they may need to look at their approach to weight loss. The fundamental rule to losing weight is to expend (use) more energy than you take in, however sometimes a holistic and more sustainable approach needs to be implemented for more effective results.

At Sukhavati Ayurvedic Retreat & Wellness Spa in Bali, we provide a holistic and comprehensive approach to weight loss that makes you feel energised, revitalised and completely balanced. Discover how Ayurvedic medicinal practices can help you in your weight loss journey, now and into the future.

Weight Loss and Ayurvedic Medicine

The Spa team at Sukhavati Ayurvedic Retreat & SpaPractitioners of Ayurvedic medicine believe that being overweight is the result of an imbalance of Kapha, which is the water and earth Dosha in the body. When the Kapha Dosha exists in excessive quantities, the build-up of toxins, mucous and fluid can cause the body to feel lethargic and heavy, physically manifesting as excess fat tissue.

When you stay at our ayurvedic weight loss retreat, our experienced staff will present a holistic approach to weight management, offering qualified dietary and nutrition advice, lifestyle routines, exercise plans, cleansing protocols and herbal recommendations to achieve sustainable weight loss.

Here are some critical components of our Ayurvedic Weight Loss program at Sukhavati Ayurvedic Retreat & Wellness Spa. These insights, based on Ayurvedic principles and philosophies, are intended to naturally and gently steer you towards holistic and healthy weight loss, without the use of chemicals, hunger due to diet, or starvation.

Each and every Ayurvedic health tool has been designed for those already with an idea of their mind-body type, which is known as Dosha. Understanding your Dosha can help you determine what foods, lifestyle choices and even body shape are healthiest for your individual self. Knowing your Dosha can help you cut through the maze of media spin when it comes to information on the latest fad diets or healthy eating practices. This can then enable you to make educated judgements that lead to healthy weight loss based on your mind-body type.

Once you know your Dosha and have adapted to living in a way that meets your biological needs rather than disturbs them, you will arrive at the perfect weight for you, naturally.

Following a detailed consultation with our Ayurvedic Doctor, you’ll learn the type of mind-body you have and which foods best support it.

Eating in harmony with your Dosha will enable you to eventually do away with unhealthy food cravings, meaning that low energy and poor self-esteem will fade away. Replacing these negatives will be a renewed sense of enthusiasm, high increase in energy, and healthy emotional wellbeing.

The body’s metabolism is the primary fat burning function and describes all the chemical processes that continuously work inside your body. It’s the internal mechanism that processes the food and drink products you consume and converts them into energy. A fast metabolism can help a person maintain a healthy weight, however a slower metabolism can see a person struggle to lose body fat, and in some cases even put more on. The key factors that slow down a person’s metabolism, those being a sedentary lifestyle and overeating, have the potential to block this energy producing and fat burning system.

The specialised treatments, herbal medicine, diet and activities during our ayurvedic weight loss programs are designed to powerfully regulate your metabolism to address weight issues at the root cause.

There are different schools of thought relating to how much movement or physical activity is necessary to partake in on a daily basis. Some simply recommend getting in 30 minutes of intense physical activity, whether it’s walking around the block, cycling on a stationary bike, or even playing soccer in the park. Meanwhile, others simply make an effort to walk or run 10,000 steps, maintaining a certain level of intensity each day in order to increase cardiovascular output, burn calories and break a sweat.

Here at Sukhavati Ayurvedic Retreat & Wellness Spa, we provide 2 x one hour Yoga sessions each day. You can also enjoy morning walks through the village at sunrise, and bike rides daily.

Following your initial appointment with our specialist Ayurvedic doctor, we’ll provide you with a diet plan that is tailored to your individual needs.

To help you reach your goal of achieving a healthy weight at our ayurvedic weight loss retreat, Sukhavati provides a fresh, wholesome vegetarian diet, with light, easy-to-digest meals that support metabolism and fat burning. We avoid meals containing heavy, dense, cold and sweet ingredients such as meat, wheat, soy, dairy, ice cream, refined sugar (biscuits, cakes – basically anything refined and processed) and fried food.

Before you depart, our Ayurvedic Doctor will provide you with a dietary plan to take home. It features nutritional information and choices that will continue to help you on your journey towards natural weight loss.

Cleansing enables you to give basically give your digestive and metabolic systems a hard reset. It’ll assist with the underlying factors that lead you to gaining weight and remove the obstacles of your body that prevent you from achieving your healthy desired weight.
