Gawaway is a special dietary style: there is no such thing as a "general diet" that is good for all, since each of us, and our bodies, are different, Tibetan medicine works with this difference. Our objective is to create 6 different weight loss diets, for people with different Energetic Types -- plus 6 more veg friendly diet. The reason why Tibetan medicine-based diets are so effective and good for your health is that food intake is not balanced according to the amounts of carbohydrates, proteins etc. that are assumed, but according with how food interplays with your Energetic Type. This is also why we call it acupuncture through food -- it is based on acupuncture principles. We are sure you will love it!

The Tibetan Medicine system includes a very ancient and effective dietary system.
This dietary system was tested in the Department of Cardiology “Johann Wolfgang Goethe” of the University “Frankfurt am Main”, in Frankfurt, Germany with very good results.
The only real problem with the Tibetan dietary system so far was that, before a project like GawaWay had been put in place, you would have had to have a Tibetan Doctor nearby, who would be able to understand what to do with each patient, and how to do it. GawaWay is a new approach to this dietary system: it's simple, tasty and effective. It can help your patient to lose weight quite fast, without too much hassle, and without any negative side effect. This kind of diet will indeed improve your patients' health quite a lot.
The Tibetan system works similarly to acupuncture: acupuncture works on somebody's energetic system, by working on special points of the body. GawaWay does not use any needles, it uses food instead.
Each kind of food has an energetic balance. When we ingest it, this food affects and changes our body's energetic balance. If we eat in a way that is not suitable for our "energetic constitution", we may gain weight, or lose too much weight, and even get sick, later on.
We can provide you with a way to test for your patients' Energetic Type, and e-books with the recipes (studied together with La-je Dawa) for the three mayor Energetic types. If you would like to know more, please visit our website: everything is simply and clearly explained there: www.gawaway.com
How We Help Hospitals
GawaWay is a system designed to help your patients lose weight. It is a new system with ancient roots, based on Tibetan medicine, which works similarly to acupuncture, using food rather than needles, making it very effective. It is a revolutionary way to understand the power of food, letting go of the traditional categories of protein, carbohydrates and so on, understanding food through its energetic value.
Tibetan Medicine sees the world as the result of the interplay of 5 elements, or energies: wind, fire, earth, water and space. These 5 elements are also found in the human body, and their combination in different proportions forms 3 different body humors: Wind (wind + space), Bile (fire) and Phlegm (earth + water). When the three humors in our body are balanced, we are healthy, when there is an imbalance, we get sick. The three humors – Wind, Bile and Phlegm – are not all equally present in each individual's body. Even when perfectly healthy, we all have a different balancing of these Humors, and this balancing is called your Energetic Type. The 5 elements are present in the outer world (and, consequently, inside food), as well as in the inner world (people's bodies).
If you think this way, it is easy to understand that diet is a fundamental tool to preserve the balance of the the energies within our body. Every time we introduce food in our body, we put a mix of the five elements in our system. If we want to stay healthy, this needs to be done by taking into account our Energetic Type.
In this regard, it is interesting to quote a study conducted by the Johann Wolfgang Goethe Department of Cardiology of Frankfurt am Main University , in Frankfurt, Germany. This study confirms the relevance of Tibetan Medicine from a scientific perspective.
The Department tested a specifically designed Tibetan diet, and a behavioral program, on patients suffering from established coronary arterial disease (CAD) and who showed signs of metabolic syndrome. The results of this research were published in 2013, and this was the researchers' conclusion: “Tibetan diet reduces body weight and BMI in patients with CAD and metabolic syndrome after 6 months, significantly more effectively than the Western diet, and may induce lipid-modifying and anti-inflammatory effects”.
Preventing sickness is becoming more and more important nowadays: GawaWay is the perfect tool for that.

Intellectual Property Summary
La-je Dawa Tsering and I, Nicoletta Sauro, have provided the medical groundwork, as well as the culinary knowledge necessary to provide recipes for the GawaWay project -- therefore, both the medical work and the recipes are AryaZambala Corp.
Clinical Information
Tibetan Medicine has thousands of years od history. But this is not enough in our world. This is the only study done, until now on the Tibetan way of diet: an important investigation from a German hospital about the efficacy of the Tibetan dietary system was recently published, testing the wonderful -- and speedy -- effects of Tibetan diet.

Regulatory Status
We will only sell e-books so we do not need FDA status.
How we will use the funds raised
3800€ will be used to keep the Company alive.
Around 5000€ will be spent to set up our online shop, fixing the issues that the team cannot fix independently, as well as to set up the e-books layouts -- we have 12 e-books ready to lay-out and we will have 12 more coming up for the slimming diets) and other expenses connected with the internet.
I will have to work full time on the project for a year, and 10,000€ will fund my living expenses. 4000/5000€ will cover La-je Dawa's travels and expenses.
Any extra money will be used to pay Chiara and Alejandro, so they can start working for Gawaway full time -- this would be wonderful for them, since their contribution for now is basically a labour of love.
Thank You!
Thank You
La-je Dawa, Chiara, Alejo and I really believe that the Gawaway diets can kickstart positive change in the lives of many people. Dawa and I have been working hard for four years, Chiara and Alejo for one, putting in our work, energy, time, and money, because we believe in the project's importance and in its ability to make a difference! When we got close to the project really going live -- the DETOX diet for the liver is already finished, we just need to take care of the layout -- we ran out of money, which is why we are asking for your kind support to be able to carry on.
GawaWay is a wonderful, innovative system, with its roots in the past, that helps attain only physical, but a more holistic form of health and balance. We would be so excited if you could help us set GawaWay up, and help people improve their lives: please join us!
We will have 6 different diets for weight loss and each of them will have two options. The normal one and the veg friendly one. And this is explaining why it will take one full year to complete the task!
Do you know what does it means "Gawa" in Tibetan? Gawa means "Joy". Gawaway means "the Path of Joy": Because this is our aim: to bring joy in people's life trough a different way of understanding food!
The DETOX diet is only one. We do not have many versions (on the contrary we will have many versions in the slimming diet) because it has only a main object: the liver (and the stomach). And this is the same for everybody.
During our lifetime, the liver is going on collecting garbage. Because of our wrong food, or pollution or because of stress. We never care. But it is very important if you want to be healthy, to take care of your liver from when you turn thirty
There are not so many ingredients that help the liver, and there are many, severe limitations, but I managed to create tasty recipes with them.
