Early to bed and early to rise will give you a slim figure

Ayurveda says that you must hit the sack at 10pm sharp and be up and about by 6 am in the morning. This will ensure that you get 8 hours of sleep every night. And, as we know, many studies have shown us that proper sleep can help you lose all your extra flab. Also Read - You need to trim your lats for fast weight loss: A few workouts for you

Snacking between meals is not good

Whatever you eat is converted into fuel for your cells. But if you eat between meals, your body will use only your food for energy. It will never get an opportunity to burn your fat reserves for energy. So, it is better not to eat between meals.

Your meal must include all 6 tastes

Try to include sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent and astringent taste in your meals. This will help you lose weight faster because all these tastes interact with each other to facilitate faster burning of fat.

Make lunch your largest meal

To lose weight, you need to boost your digestion. And, Ayurveda says that in the afternoon, your digestive fire is at its strongest. So, eat a heavy lunch. Your dinner must be light and easy on the stomach because your digestive fire is at its weakest at night. Also have an early dinner so that food is digested before you go to bed.
