Hi there!
Congrats on taking the first step to improving your health! I think you will love this free ayurvedic meal plan for Pitta.
This Ayurvedic menu was carefully designed for your Pitta dosha, which is often aggravated by the qualities of being too:
- Oily
- Sharp
- Hot
- Light
- Unpleasant in odor
- Mobile
- Liquid
These qualities lead to anger, impatience, and irritability. Physically, if unchecked, you can become prompt to developing diseases that are febrile and infectious, liver disorders, ulcers, acidity, boils, and skin issues.
This wonderful, cooling, and slightly dry free ayurvedic meal plan helps pacify your aggravated Pitta dosha while rekindling your Agni or digestive fire. The core of our health relies on our digestion, and so by eating an anti-Pitta diet you will gradually return to a state of homeostasis and balance.

PITTA MEAL PLAN INSTRUCTIONS
A cooling, calming, cleansing, and nurturing diet is best for Pitta people.
Food should be cool, heavy, and a little dry.
It is recommended to include green juices as part of an anti-pitta diet.
Make sure that you establish a time for your meals and stick to it to promote regularity.
Avoid cold water. It will destroy your Agni and weaken your digestion. At this time of healing, it is crucial that you have a strong digestive fire. However, favor cool drinks.
The tastes that you should go for are: sweet, bitter, and astringent.
Spices to cook with in small amounts are: turmeric, fennel, coriander, cumin, cilantro, and mint.
Try to choose all ingredients organic if possible.
MORE SUGGESTIONS
Intermittent Fasting: With my clients, I implement Intermittent Fasting, which is wonderful to drop insulin levels, promote cellular repair and positive changes in genes and molecules that increase longevity and resistance to disease. In addition, adhering to Intermittent Fasting helps with weight loss and heart health.
I highly encourage you to follow this plan using an Intermittent Fasting protocol. That means, eating all meals in an eating window of 10 hours and fasting — just water — in a fasting window of 14 hours. For example, if you have your first meal at 8am, your last meal should be at 6pm.
The quantity? Make sure you eat at 70-75% of your capacity.
To drink? Pitta tea or fennel tea with meals and throughout the day.
If you want to do it strictly vegan then change the ghee for coconut, olive, or avocado oil and the the milk for soy or coconut milk.
If you don’t find or don’t like:
- Basmati rice — Switch for organic white rice.
- Yellow split mung dal — Switch for red lentils.
- Tur dal — Switch for lentils.
- Okra — Switch for zucchini.
- Ghee — Substitute with coconut oil.
- Milk — Replace with almond or coconut milk.
