Review of Ayurvedic Zone Diet: The Ancient Way to Health Rejuvenation & Weight Control (Paperback)

Traditional Ayurveda teachings are very valuable, and can help you learn a lot about your food choices.However, it really never went into the caloric ratios a certain body type needs to consume to find balance.
I'm a vata-pitta, but primarily a vata.I was following a high carbohydrate, low fat diet, which I read in this book was definitely the wrong thing for a vata to be doing.I needed more fat.40% of my calories as a matter of fact.I'd tried everything else, so I gave the 40/40/20 ratio a shot.All I can say is, "WOW".Upping my fat intake way the key to finding balance through diet.Not to say everyone should eat 40% of their calories from fat.Only the vata type.The Pitta (or fire) type should eat 50% or more from carbs, 30% protein, and 20% or less from fat.
If I would have read this book 2 years ago, I would have missed out on a lot of unnecessary trial and error.Excellent book!

Review of The Ayurvedic Guide to Diet & Weight Loss: The Sattva Program (Paperback)

I bought this book awhile back and I have tried to follow it.But, it is poorly organized and quite confusing.Think of the old weight watchers where you had to pick 1 servingfrom group A, 2 servings from group B. etc.Who has that kind of patience and time????If you are interested in Ayurvedic weight loss, then I suggest that you see an ayurvedic specialist in your area.Skip this book.Mine is in storage.
