Best Indian Diet for weight loss and whole body detox

I am always fascinated by stories of weight loss and detox or rather anything that is got to do with food and nutrition .However , I am not someone who believes in crazy dieting and like to live life without having to compromise on food. However , I always felt that being in the lifestyle that we are in ,it is always important to give your body something to rest ,rejuvenate and recover only then would your body be in peak health at all times


Like always I found my answer to this in Ayurveda. I remember my grandparents fasting on occasion of religious belief and I used to wonder why god made people fast .But I know understand how smartly our forefathers have included a full body cleanse into the life by adding belief of god to it.
Clearly, things are not going to change by just a fast , but fast means clearer body , clearer mind and hence more positivity , thereby you suddenly feel like God has just blessed you ..
Now back to the diet I am sure would suit everyone’s lifestyle

This is a course of 7 days and must be done only once in 2 months Max. It consist of preparing the body for fast, the actual fast and then preparing the body back to the normal diet...

Day 1-3 Glass of Hot water with 1 tbs of ghee in the morning on empty stomach and the rest of the day only Moong dal soup .You can have as much of it as you want

Day 4 Fasting day

Day 5-7 Khichidi which slowly progresses to the normal diet by day 7 (Rice + Moong dal + Vegetables )

Doing Pranayama and suryanamaskar (Only as little as you can) throughout this phase is also helpful.

Moong Dal Soup

Moong Dal : Soaked overnight.

Heat Ghee , add turmeric , asafoetida , bay leaves grated ginger ,add moong dal and 3 parts water and simmer for 30-40 minutes .Then , saute Onions , cumin ,coriander seeds ,garlic and to the cooked dal and use .
Khichidi is the same moong dal with rice and vegetables added to it.
This is one of the most sensible ways to cleanse your body and mind ... Done sparingly, it will remove all the toxins from the body and rejuvenate you
