Contrary to popular belief, eating less amount of food does not remedy the condition of obesity. Consuming less quantities of food does not help you to lose weight, and in fact, you might continue to gain weight. The Ayurvedic solutions of lemon and honey and triphala powder in hot water are effective remedies that help you to lose weight and manage your obesity. Another form of treatment is maintaining and following a healthy diet consisting of fruits and vegetables, including ripe tomatoes as well as cabbage every morning.

Ayurveda recommends a strict diet, a good exercise regime along with Ayurvedic medication that is sure to help you to manage the condition of obesity.
