The 6 tastes

According to ayurveda there are 6 tastes that all play an essential role in your overall health. The 6 tastes in ayurveda are sweet, sour, salt, bitter, pungent and astringent. The kapha weight loss diet food list focuses on the bitter, pungent and astringent tastes in order to balance kapha dosha. 

Kapha dosha pacifying tastes

Bitter
Absorbs excess moisture, relieves congestion, in addition to being a digestive tonic to clear the GI tract (riding kapha's sluggishness!)

Pungent
Stimulates digestive fire and is also very drying (bringing more heat to sluggish, cold kapha!). Cleanses the blood, clears the sense (kapha mucus), thins the blood and clots, reduces cholesterol.

Astringent
Loosens mucus and cough. Creates lightness in the body (to lift kapha off the couch!)

Kapha weight-loss diet should focus on consuming lighter, drier foods to balance kapha natural heavy, moist qualities. Choose fruit or toasted muesli in the morning. Stick with a dark leafy green salad for lunch, and try a vegetable soup for dinner.

Stay intuitive with your body and how food makes it feel.

Leafy green,

Clare

I had to PAUSE to COMPLETELY CLEAR my food pantry and I am ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED in the most illuminating way ..starting from the ground-up 🔥

pungent taste does wonders for kapha, and it does them immediately. I was spending whole days sitting in front of pc during lock down, eating all this heavy sweet salty food (it was ok for me before lockdown because I used to have much more physical activity) and kapha increased so much that even after small meal I had no energy to do anything and wanted to lie on couch.
Today I add some (actually alot of) pungent chilly ketchup to my food, immediately lazyness is gone

[TheSparrowLife]

Sweet, sour, and salty are my faves 😩 letting them go will be hard

[BrittneyStyleTheory]

So happy I found your channel. Just found out I'm Kapha. I was just introduced to this principle by a friend but it's so strange because even before, I've been feeling like I need to give up almost these exact foods. No reason, almost like an instinct. I love when the universe just clicks!!
But I'm sad about the walnuts :(

[Mykike]

Terrific. I’m kapha and need to lose weight. Thanks so much for advice on 12:28 how I can lose this weight. Also doing your kapha yoga.

[TRADE-RUNNER]

Although i have only just discovered your channel and this video - thank you very much. It helped heaps

[glea]

Thanks for this video. If soybeans are good, can we make yoghurt with them? Will soybeans yoghurt soothe kapha dosha?

[lucasborges]

I am so kapha that I'm watching in 0.75 speed 😂

Learning Ayurveda and English with your videos! Amazing channel 💚

[kingkingking]

[AlisonKenny]

I'm a very out of balance Kapha, , going to apply this asap

[booradley]

I am loving all your videos! Thank you so much. I am wondering if you or any other viewers could help me with a question? According to Banyan Botanicals I am mostly Kapha and Vata, with a small amount of pitta. Should I focus on foods for “pitta imbalance” or should I focus on consuming foods that are strictly in line with the Kapha dosha since it is my main constitution? I am roughly 50% Kapha, 40% vata and 10% pitta. I would greatly appreciate your help 🙏💖💫

[winnydsouza]

Hi clear I am periodically kapha! and vata too, I can use barley in my diet!

[shakeraholness]

Very helpful but very sad. All the things I love is on the avoid list 😭

[AlexDoesntArt]

Me, loving apple and orange juice along with the occasional pepsi: Feels really called out rn
