Struggling with digestion & weight gain

If you're someone who gains weight easily, but also has

Kapha imbalance, which is the dominance of the earth and water elements in your body.

You're probably an endomorph body type, which is the thickest body type that tends to put on weight easily and struggles to lose weight.

You need to incorporate legumes, lentils, beans, and pulses that are drying in nature and astringent in nature because they reduce water retention in your body and stimulate your metabolic fire, aiding weight loss.

Here's what you need to do:


You can have a lot of green mung beans.


It contains good dietary fiber and amino acids, including vitamins A, C, E, K, and the B complex, as well as iron, potassium, and magnesium.

This is a great way to get all your amino acids in. You can also have red lentils.

You have your masoor. You have your toor, which is your pigeon peas.

You also have your channa.


Great way to get your energy up and lose weight.


Adzuki beans, again red, great way to get your weight loss.


Then you have black eyed peas, which control your blood pressure. Pinto beans are also a great way to lose weight.

You probably wanna avoid chickpeas, urad dal, soy, and kidney beans, which are rajma, because they are a little dry for you, and it might be a little sluggish as well.

You wanna add a lot of pungent spices just to mutate your agni, your metabolic fire.

You have your ginger, black pepper.


You can also add some carom seeds. This also has a deworming effect on the body.

Turmeric in greater quantity it's excellent. Have a lot of vegetables.

So if you're having protein, make sure your vegetable intake is greater than that.

You can use grounded oil or sesame oil to cook your dals because these are warm. You don't need so much fat.

You can reduce it to half a teaspoon or just one teaspoon. You can also have chili, onion, and garlic in your dals.

This will stimulate your Agni, your digestive fire, and will aid weight loss at the same time, improving your energy levels, preventing that post-lunch sluggishness that you might experience.

So, follow this protocol if you're a Kapha body type or an endomorph body type, or just have weak digestion. Here's to healthy living and a healthy you.
