It's quite possible that as my digestion remedies itself, maybe the weight-loss will come more easily anyway!"<BR/><BR/>I have found the same thing. When i was focusing on my Vata pacifying practices, my digestion was much better and in turn weight loss did come more easily. Coming from Southern California, i always felt so healthy eating salads and raw foods, but little did I know that excess of those foods were aggravating my vatta constitution. I was much better off having a big hot bowl of rice and dhal. Maybe I will not achieve the so-called ideal body eating for my constitution but more importantly I will feel great. After changing my diet slightly, and eating more warm foods my chronic back pain has significantly reduced!! These days a pain free life is looking more attractive to me then achieving the 'ideal' figure. <BR/><BR/>Your web-site is great, thanks for sharing.<BR/><BR/>anonymous in IndiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
