Pitta Diet Plan - #5908
For the past few months, I’ve been struggling with some really uncomfortable symptoms. I’ve been getting frequent acid reflux, my skin breaks out into rashes, and I feel irritated and on edge all the time. I started researching Ayurveda and learned about doshas, and I think I might have a Pitta imbalance. A lot of what I’ve read points toward following a Pitta diet plan, but I’m not sure how to begin or how strict I need to be. From what I understand, the Pitta diet plan focuses on avoiding spicy, fried, and sour foods, which makes sense because I’ve noticed these seem to trigger my symptoms. But does this mean I have to completely cut out coffee, tomatoes, and citrus fruits? I love mangoes and pineapples, but apparently, those are bad for Pitta too. Are there any sweet fruits that are Pitta-friendly? One thing I’m struggling with is the idea of giving up my favorite comfort foods. Can I have occasional cheat days while following a Pitta diet plan, or will that undo all the progress? I’ve also read that meal timing is important. Should I be eating at specific times, or is it just about avoiding certain foods? Lastly, I’m a bit worried about feeling restricted. Are there enough variety and options in a Pitta diet plan to make it sustainable long-term? If anyone has tips for beginners or a sample meal plan, I’d really appreciate it.
