Guest guest Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 Glad to know you're liver is living again. On the taste bud tip, I have my Kitchree with Mango pickle (tart, salty and kinda bitter) and Mango chutney (sweet, almost like jam). Ayurveda teaches that we want to stimulate all 6 taste sensations in at least one meal a day. This is about satiation. Being satisfied in all of our taste sensations allows us to get over cravings....like Chunky Monkey. All the different spices and flavors cover all the taste buds. This is never really talked about in discussions of weight here in America.... Everybody is focused on caloric intake and calories burned but the emotional body is totally overlooked. This approach has allowed me to lower my weight set point from 210 lbs. 18 months ago to 200 for the last few months. Ayurveda works.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Heeeeey Leo, Glad to know you're liver is living again. On the taste bud tip, I have my Kitcheree with Mango pickle (tart, salty and kinda bitter) and Mango chutney (sweet, almost like jam) added while I reheat it. Ayurveda teaches that we want to stimulate all 6 taste sensations in at least one meal a day. This is about satiation. Being satisfied in all of our taste sensations allows us to get over cravings....like Chunky Monkey. All the different spices and flavors cover all the taste buds. This is never really talked about in discussions of weight control here in America.... Everybody is focused on caloric intake and calories burned but the emotional/soul body is totally overlooked. This approach has allowed me to lower my weight set point from 210 lbs. 18 months ago to 200 for the last few months. Ayurveda works.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2002 Report Share Posted October 16, 2002 Dharam- Its interesting that you bring up the multiple tastes part. I had read about this a few years ago. And the premise was just as you described. It was criticizing the vast majority of diets in the western culture because they are based pretty much on deprivation. Meaning don't eat sweets, or eat mostly this, cut out that, etc. But the bulk of cravings result, usually, from the body not getting at least something from each 'taste group' (as opposed to the food groups). It made perfect sense to me at the time but I had completely forgotten about it. Thank you for bringing it up again. Christa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
