Dr Oz reveals some Ayurdevic Weight Loss Secrets with recipes for a 6 flavor slimming breakfast sundae and green mung bean soup

Ayurvedic Nutritionist, Sunita Mohan, says this diet is a way of life, it’s the way we live. The Ayurvedic Diet will work for everyone because the diet works on improving our digestion so our food moves properly. Once digestion is corrected, everything else falls into place. The Ayurvedic Diet is different from any other diet because it’s not focused on keeping track of calories or carbs. It simply focuses on how to get digestion moving.

20 almonds, crushed
2 Tbsp raisins (you can also use chopped dates or prunes)
1 ½ C yogurt (2% preferred) (sour)

Sesame Oil Mouth Swish

To help with digestion, Sunita says to take 1 Tbsp of sesame oil and swish it in your mouth. Swish for only 3 minutes when just starting out. The goal is to get to 20 minutes. This swish mixes with your saliva and helps to remove toxins from your body. (Be sure to spit it out.)
