I am a kapha too! Can you tell me more about the fasting thing? It sounds so beneficial.. but at times I get this hunger pang that sort of makes me loose my patience. Before I know it, I am patiently [and gleefully] chomping down a meal [heavier than normal too!]. Another thing I wanted to know that, you mentioned about AMA and the weight issues that kaphas have.. Can you elucidate on how one goes around these [its going to be a long walk to go around me for instance!] luv Ram Hello Monica.

It's nature's way, so we aaaaalll fall under the daily clock. Best schedule for kapha is the same, but please note the different times of day and how the energies may help or hinder you as a person. Here is a good article on the daily routine for everyone: http://heymonicab.com/2008/08/daily-routine/ Kaphas usually grab something that is too sweet or heavy for breakfast. Sound familiar? I recommend using the recipe for baked apples or pears (use just a tiny bit of ghee or omit) in Seasonal Bloom Vata. Make a big batch and then divy up into dishes and take with you to work. You can even crumble a little bit of cinnamon granola for a crunch. Or, you can keep english muffins in your desk at work and toast one there. Use a tiny touch of butter or ghee and sprinkle lemon pepper or cinnamon (savory or sweet). mm! Anything that is light and warm is good. Anything too sweet will start your day off on the wrong foot. Kaphas need pungent (spicy), light, dry, warm foods. Thank you for your questions, compliments, for reading and for sharing this!! Warms my heart. <3 MonicaB Namaste Lora :) The rules on eating and sleeping are for all doshas not just vata. It’s nature’s way, so we aaaaalll fall under the daily clock.

I noticed on your latest "Seasonal Bloom", you show best times for eating and sleeping for Vata. What is the best schedule for kapha? Also, can you suggest recipes for a good kapha breakfast? I'm getting a handle on the other meals and drinking warm water rather than cold, but breakfast seems to be the hardest for me to grasp - especially since I am usually eating either on the go or in the office. You have a great site! I have recommended it to others who are interested or doing ayurvedic practice as resource. Keep up the wonderful work! Namaste!
