Week one of Ayurveda(Kapha)/Seasonal Eating:
Note: Plan not followed 100%. Took a break while at the beach, and was so surprised at no gain that I had to test it one more time. Every bite is recorded. :o Will follow more closely this week. Also note that TOM is here!
Weight steady (water weight up, fat % down), but I have lost 1 1/4" in waist, 2" in hips, 1" in arms. Horrible continual constipation is gone. Continual congestion breaking up nicely. No waking up for bathroom breaks during the night. Sleeping more soundly overall. Cyst on my wrist almost gone.
OH, YEA! ...AND MY BRA SEEMS TO BE FILLING OUT NICELY AGAIN! :D

Ohhhh man, Engeland! It is an awesome place where the mind, body, and spirit all come together as one. It is the belief that all things are connected, including diet. The diet part is the belief that we have become unbalanced and about eating the right foods to balance things again. There are different body types for different eating recommendations, so you would have to take the quiz to see what is suggested for you. I am Kapha (cold, wet, heavy), so I would need to eat things hot, dry, and light.

You're welcome! :) I'm bound and determined to figure this thing we call homeostasis out. I refuse to become who I once was again!

...at the same time, I refuse to live my entire life feeling deprived of eating things that nature has provided for us.

Another note... With all of the junk I ate in those 3 days & TOM being here, I would normally be up AT LEAST 5lbs, probably closer to 8. So, I call success so far.

Well, it appears that I am a Vata.

Haven't had TOM since 2002. I hated it and the cravings.

:) Lucky you, Engeland...lol. I hate it too, but I guess it's part of the circle of life. I love your pic BTW. You have a beautiful shape!

Since my wife has been on her substitute vacation I haven't been on-plan. I stepped on the scales yesterday at the grocery store and I'm down six pounds. Constant work in progress, great job, Jen!

That's awesome, phil!!!!! Thank you! That means a lot coming from ANYONE, but even more so coming from you buddy! :) I was honestly a little worried that our connection would suffer as I veered off onto another path.

Your plan is your plan, to quote my brother Knuckles, "we're not selling anything". Despite what some folks may think, I have zero interest in either converting people or retaining people to keto, everyone deserves support, regardless of the plan, whether it's the same as mine is immaterial.

I know, phil, and I appreciate that. You have to admit though, it's a lot easier to relate to someone following the same plan (thus creating more of a connection). Thanks for the support! :)
