I totally agree with these guide lines and feel good living by them. If i stray from these rules I feel ill and have stomach and bowel issues. You may feel hungry in the beginning but after a week or two it becomes second nature.
I have discovered that even those who are inclined to be underweight like me can eat this portion of food and still feel energetic and healthy as long as the portion is high in protein. I have found that to be essential.
Oh, and it can be meat-free, too.
Ayurveda recommends three meals a day only. If you are eating 5 meals a day, portions should be smaller. But if you eat too often, your digestive tract will never get a rest.
Vata types typically do best eating smaller portions, but eating more frequently.
