Legumes don't cause gasses if you soak them overnight and boil them properly with proper spices and oil that reduce their vata aggravating qualities. 

Also it matters what you combine your foods with. You shouldn't combine legumes with fruit, cheese, eggs, fish, milk, meat, or yogurt or it will cause problems due to mismatched post-digestive effects, causing gas, fermentation, bloating, and ama (toxins). 

I mean even the order in which you eat your foods make a lot of difference. Diet is like science. It's not just eat whatever you like. There's a lot good info out there that people could learn. 

 

Nothing against legumes, they're great.

I find different school of thought when it comes to nutrition interesting. What would you say has helped you the most from Ayurveda?

Vegetables, fruits, eggs, fish and small amounts of red meat on occassion. Cottage cheese. Tea, coffee, water. Some nuts added in.

I am very lactose intolerant and have fructose malabsorption 🥹 so I have to avoid foods containing those in large amounts. 

I don't eat bread, pasta, rice, processed sugar. I basically avoid anything processed / artificial. 

Most people cannot eat this way. But it is easy for me, because if I eat badly my spiritual practice is shit, my work is poo, sleep is not good and energy / happiness is reduced. I just happen to be very sensitive to the effects of foods, so it makes avoiding very easy ☺️

Wheat gives me joint pain as well. Some sort of generic thing I got from my Dad.

Cool

I am trying to improve my diet and my goal is to incorporate more vegetables and it being the dominant part of my diet so it’s not too far off from yours

Its good you’re able to notice how your body feels and use that as guide to how you eat.

I remember in far past when I had some joint ache and I also found that eating a lot of gluten made me feel it more, so yea there’s probably something to it

If you cannot taste the incredible variety of flavour in raw unsalted nuts - you are a victim of overseasoned or processed food. Or you smoke. 

I think combining foods is also something to pay attention to. 

@Sugarcoat fyi the majority of my diet (70% +) is just from vegetables 😊 been eating this way since 18yo.

It’s cool how the diet that seems healthiest for a lot of people also is better for planet and animals simultaneously 

[Schizophonia]

@Sugarcoat @Natasha Tori Maru By vegetables you mean plants isn't it.

It's so healthy that life expectancy, height, and muscle density are consistently correlated with meat consumption and so good for the planet that most of the soils used for agriculture are completely dead and on nitrogen life support, and the only moderately costly fertilizer is manure.

Yeah I eat starchy shit - potatoes /pumpkin are my main carbs. I run in the morning so without the carbs I would bonk HARD. 

We ain't talking rabbit food - I don't find that sustainable at all.

Some beans appear to be more gaseous to me than others.  I find black beans to be minimally gaseous.  I'm curious what others think.

For legumes i learned of my mother who is part of her culture: They soak for at least 24 hours changing and rinsing 3 - 4 times, this removes all the issues. Then you cook them for at least 60 - 90 minutes on medium-low (with no salt) until tender, then add salt in the end (especially for hardy legumes like white beans). And if you 'sprout' them, (how all grains and legumes are meant to be done) but takes 3 - 5 days, then you will have optimal nutrition and digestion because the germ is completely open, and can be eaten raw too.

I soak, sprout, dehydrate, activate almost every nut and seed I consume, takes a bit more effort but health speaks for itself in the long run. I rarely consume grains or legumes anymore but on special occasions.

The healthiest cultures around the world ate a high fruit-veg plant-based diet with sometimes a little meat or fish and dairy. Grains were more of a slave food and poor mans food and health issues arose because our bodies struggle to digest them properly and take long preparations that almost no one does today. Even breads in ancient times (africa ect..) were made more from dried pounded tubers rather than wheat ect... teff, kamut, quinoa, millet are excellent alternatives.

We evolved in the tropics gathering fruit, eating herbs, berries, nuts ect... later some tribes learned to fish when fruit limited.

Everything else came later and issues and diseases started to form. Especially when the whites came in, white sugar, white flour, white salt, all completely altered from the original varieties that 80% of the nutrition and beneficials were missing.
