This is you if
- Your appetite and digestion vary wildly day to day
- Bloating and gas, especially in the lower abdomen
- Constipation with dry, hard, or pellet-like stools
- Anxiety, racing thoughts, difficulty settling
- Trouble falling asleep, light broken sleep
- Cold hands and feet with dry skin and hair
- You are often cold, often busy, and often skip meals
- Your symptoms move around rather than staying put
What is happening
There is not enough regularity, warmth, moisture, or grounding in your system. Your type does not need a clever diet, it needs a rhythm. The single greatest intervention available to you is eating the same things at the same times, warm and cooked. 🕰️
Your five rules
- Same times every day. Rhythm outranks ingredients for your type.
- Warm, moist, and oily. Ghee, olive oil, sesame oil, soups, stews.
- No raw, no dry, no cold. Salads, crackers, rice cakes, smoothies are all wrong for you.
- Sit down and slow down. You eat quickly and while distracted. That alone causes the bloating.
- Cooked and well spiced beans, never plain or undercooked, or the gas is guaranteed.
Eat more 🍚
Warm cooked grains, ghee, sesame oil, root vegetables, soaked nuts, stewed fruit, warm spiced milk, ginger, cumin, coriander, fennel, cardamom, cinnamon, soups and one pot dishes.
Eat less 🚫
Raw salad, dry crackers and rice cakes, cold drinks, sparkling water, plain beans, caffeine, irregular meal times, eating on the move.
🔪 The habit that matters more than the food
Fat is your friend. Your type is dry and needs lubrication. Ghee, olive oil, sesame oil, and tahini are nourishing for you, not indulgences.
⚠️ The mistake your type makes
Low fat eating, raw food, and intermittent fasting. All three are dry, cold, and irregular, which is precisely the combination that created the problem.
Your first week
Days 1 to 7: three meals at fixed times, a spoon of ghee or good oil at each, nothing raw or cold. Sleep and bloating usually shift within four days.
