Diet Plans And Menus - The Eat Your Colors Diet:

The Eat Your Colors Diet was created by Marcia Zimmerman, nutritionist. It is associated with Ayurvedic medicine, a system of traditional medicine native to the Indian subcontinent whose components include herbs, massage, and yoga. As you may guess from its name, food colors play a major role in this diet. The accent is placed on yellow, red, and green foods.

According to Ayurvedic medicine and this diet, individuals belong to one of three groups, Vata (yellow), Pitta (red), and Kapha (green). Each group is associated with a distinct body type and personality type. For example, Kaphas don’t talk a lot and tend to store excess weight on their butt. Each group has a different list of foods to privilege and foods to avoid. For example, Vatas are expected to avoid caffeine and excessive alcohol while Pittas are expected to avoid lamb, duck, and several other foods. The list of foods to privilege is quite complicated; it is broken down into colors and varies from group to group. Obviously, if you are going to follow this diet you have to determine which is your group and then learn a long list of dos and donts.
