There is an app that goes along with that chart, to help you track how you are doing each day. I downloaded it and am going to give it a shot. So far, today is not going well. All I've had is some water and an 8 oz can of Coca-Cola Life
Eating for me at this time of the year is tough. one might call this the "Pitta-Vatta" season. More on that in a second...
But i often crave really heavier foods, comforting foods, and grounding foods. Its cold and snowy and super windy. Additionally, the town gets really quiet and outdoor activities are limited. This is why i recently purchased a spin bike to use at home.
If i were to follow the wonderful intelligence of my girlfriend, my diet should look like this:
In late fall, the Vata dosha becomes the most pronounced. During this time, it is important to balance Vata with foods and fluids that promote warmth, moisture, and grounding—namely those that are sweet, heavy, oily, spiced, or salty.
Recommended foods:
Fruits: Banana, avocado Cooked apples or pears, such as in pies, crisps, or apple sauces Apple butter or pumpkin butter Tomatoes Citrus, including oranges and grapefruit Vegetables: Vegetables should be steamed; avoid raw vegetables during this season Spaghetti or acorn squash, sweet potatoes, potatoes, yams, turnips, pumpkin Grains: Wheat, rice, oats Nuts Most whole nuts, nut butters such as peanut butter or almond butter Fats/Oils Ghee, olive oil, butter Spices Focus on warming spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves Warm fluids, such as ginger, lemongrass, or mint tea Fluids should be consumed at room temperature or warmer. Avoid cool fluids, which quell an already sluggish digestive system Proteins Animal meat or jerky Fish Eggs Lentils Mung beans Soy—tofu, edamame A word on beans:
Beans are high in Vata and are generally “wind generators,” though they are an important dietary staple in many vegetarian diets. If consumption of beans is necessary for you during fall and winter, reduce their Vata qualities by rinsing them well and soaking/cooking for an extended amount of time. Season well with warming spices.
