A female patient aged 28 years hailing from Chennai working in the department of human resource (HR), a known case of hypothyroidism & polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) complained of nearly about 25 kg weight gain from April 2012. She was treated for infertility with hormonal therapies. On examination she had a BMI of 42.09 kg/ m2 and diagnosed as Atisthoulya (~obesity grade III). It was managed successfully based on the Ayurvedic principle of “Guru Cha Atarpanam” which means the foods and medicines should be non-nourishing and give a sense of satiety.
