ITS great that you’re taking steps toward better energy and digestion

1. you don’t need to know dosha at begin- knowing your Prakriti is helpful but not essential for starting a 7- day plan. this meals are often tridoshic especially gentle detox

2. think of 7 day plan as template not a rulebook. its totally ok to swap similar ingredients or dishes across days repeat meals that made you feel good modify based on hunger local availability or preferences

CONSISTENCY MATTERS MORE THAN PERFECTION

3) Digestive issues like bloating and heaviness you should focus on warm ,cooked meals sip warm water or herbal teas like fennel cumin coriander tea throughout the day avoid combining dairy with fruit like milk+fruit lenils+milk etc

4. can’t find all ingredients- no problem fresh is great , but don’t worry if you can’t get everything substitute fresh herbs with dried one use basic spices whole food like mung dal, rice, ghee, veggies etc

5. food to avoid during 7 days- cold drinks- ice, soda etc processed or fried foods leftover food heavy dairy , meat, caffeine fruit with meals

6. why are some ayurvedic recipes online so different- ayurveda adjust meals acc to dosha , season, geography, digestion etc so yes, it may vary

7. start your day with warm water + lemon or pinch of ginger keep a pot of mung dal chichi - its easy, nourishing have a few go to meals and rotate them

if you need detail 7 day plan can message me will give detail same here in this question you can text

thank you, hope all your doubts are clear Dr. Maitri ACHARYA

Embarking on a 7-day Ayurvedic meal plan can offer significant benefits, particularly for issues like bloating and digestive discomfort. However, the effectiveness of such a plan depends greatly on how well it’s tailored to your individual constitution or dosha— Vata, Pitta, or Kapha. You might feel a bit overwhelmed at first, but let’s break it down together.

If you’re unsure of your dosha, consider consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner. They’ll help you determine your prakriti and any prevailing imbalances. This is key because not all meal plans work universally well, and knowing your dosha can guide you to make necessary adjustments.

Regarding sticking to the meal plan strictly, it’s okay to improvise—listen to your body’s responses. Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of agni (digestive fire), and sometimes minor adjustments can optimize digestion. Fresh ingredients are ideal due to prana (life energy they contain), but Ayurveda also stresses practicality; use the best available to you. If some ingredients are hard to find, substitutes are generally acceptable. For example, if fresh ginger isn’t available, dried can work too, although it might have slightly different effects.

There are certain foods generally best avoided like processed and very cold foods, as they can hinder digestion. Embrace simple, warm, and easily digestible meals, emphasizing spices that aid digestion such as cumin, coriander, and fennel.

The discrepancy in online “Ayurvedic” recipes highlights how mainstream adaptations may not always align with classic Ayurvedic principles. Focus on recipes incorporating traditional ingredients and methods. Ensure balance—like adding grounding foods if Vata is dominant, cooling if Pitta is excess, or lightening if Kapha needs pacifying.

Be gentle with yourself. Often, changes might not be drastic within a week, but subtle shifts can signal you’re on the right path. It’s as much about understanding your body’s needs as it is about following a script. Best of luck on your Ayurvedic journey.
