I have a friend who was showing me her books on Ayurveda earlier in the week. We did the quiz in the book and I came out strongly Pitta/Kapha. Since I know nothing about the Ayurveda philosophy (aside from having heard about it at various times over the years), I decided to get a stack of books from the library a few days back.
One thing that stood out to me is that my "type" really needs to cut back on onions, garlic and hot spices. What is interesting to me about this, is that we eat a variety of these most nights and I was keen to see if cooking appropriate recipes for my type (and incidentally, Simon is the same dual-type as me) would make me feel different. And since I'm all for finding some new recipes, I look forward to finding some new recipes. Of course, as per my usual, I will need to wait till shopping day to buy particular ingredients I need (shopping day is today).
Has anyone followed an Ayurvedic diet at any stage, and how did you find it?

I've not tried the ayurveda way of living, diet etc but I will follow your reports with interest.
I haven't even heard of it - hope you'll write about it lots so we can learn :)
