Diet?

[Guest guest]

Hi, thanks for answering my last bunch of questions. I thought

you were gone for a minute. Glad you're still around.

 

My next bothersome request was I was hoping you could write

out your menu plan for a week. I know you said your dosha was

Vata, so is mine, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what to

eat ( keeping out Pita foods also) that tastes any good. I seem to

be eating a diet of steamed veggies, which is lacking in taste

and getting quite boring. I know healthy food can taste good, I

just don't know how to make it so. Thanks, MB

Hi MB

 

You are welcome. Always feel free to ask any questions. For most people this

information is new and questions are to be expected.

 

The diet strategy while healing rosacea is to eat food according to your body

type and avoid foods that increase pitta (heat) and congestion.

 

Diet should center around cooked whole grains, legumes, vegetables, and

some fruit. A couple teaspoons of sunflower oil is sufficient for added fat. A

small amount of raw sugar is ok. Raw sugar is called sucanat in the health

food store. Herbs and spices from the anti pitta list should be added for

flavor.

A sample menu would look like the following. Keep in mind your body type

and avoidance of heating and congesting foods.

 

Breakfast

 

Cooked warm cereal like cream of rice or oat meal, fruit of your choice, raw

sugar, milk alternative like rice milk or oat milk found in the health food

store.

 

Lunch

 

Cooked white basmati rice and quinoa grain, cooked mung beans, steamed

leafy green vegetables, herbs and spices of your choice, sunflower oil.

 

Dinner

 

Cooked stew of split peas, lentils, vegetables, herbs, spices, whole wheat no

yeast bread found in the health food store. A slow cooker or crock pot works

well for making this type of stew.

 

Dessert

 

Vanilla rice milk pudding

 

You can find numerous recipes from around the world in the book Heavens

Banquet by Miriam Hospodar. You can modify most recipes when you know

the basic principles of which foods to choose. The two best books on diet that

I have found are Ayurvedic Healing by Dr. David Frawley and Live In The

Balance by Linda Prout.
