I've been on a few fad diets in my time, but Ayurveda isn't one of them. Having been around for more than 5,000 years, this is more of a way of life than the latest big seller and I recommend everyone checks it out.
It's a system of making choices according to your constitution, or “dosha”, of which there are three: vata (thin, energy spikes, dry skin, cold all the time), pitta (stocky, hot, aggressive when out of balance) and kapha (prone to weight gain and sedentary habits, oily skin).
