- Plan food: Write a simple grocery list for warm/light meals.
- Add mantra slots: 27 counts, morning or evening.
- Schedule charity: ₹11 or $3 aligned to the planet day; log in your phone.
- Track feelings: Sleep, mood, digestion in one line nightly.
- Review after 7 days: Keep what works; reduce what feels heavy.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Skipping water while fasting—always hydrate.
- Mixing very spicy food with Pitta days.
- Late-night screens on Moon days (worsens Vata/Pitta).
- Heavy sweets on Kapha days—keep portions light.
FAQs
Can I work out while fasting?
Yes, keep it light to moderate. If you feel weak, stop, hydrate, and eat fruit.
Do I need to follow all three dosha plans?
Focus on your primary imbalance first. Add others after you feel stable.
What if I am unsure of my dosha?
Start with cooling Pitta remedies for 3 days, then grounding Vata for 3 days. Notice which calms you most.
How long to continue?
Run a 21-day cycle (three weeks). Reassess energy, sleep, and digestion; continue the parts that help.
Quick Checklist
