style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, you can.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main reason why is because the pitta diet focuses on healthy foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can maintain a healthy weight and reduce the risk of various diseases simply by eating <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/flatten-your-belly\/\">healthy foods<\/a>. Such a healthy diet includes vegetables, whole grains, fruits, low-fat or fat-free dairy products, lean meats, fish, poultry, beans, nuts, and eggs. It also limits sodium, and sugars, as well as saturated and trans fats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most importantly, the diet avoids processed foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is supported by a scientific study which revealed a 50% increase in post-meal calorie burn from eating whole foods compared to processed foods (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2897733\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">14<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although there\u2019s limited research specifically on the Ayurvedic diet, a few studies are trying to prove its benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One study evaluated the effect of an Ayurveda-based lifestyle. This included an Ayurveda diet, yoga, and stress management.

That\u2019s because such foods contain ingredients like emulsifiers, hydrogenated oils, flavoring agents, and high-fructose corn syrup. They are high in sugar, fat, salt and energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They also have a low nutrient and fiber content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to the low fiber content, you\u2019ll end up eating more without feeling full. That means you\u2019ll consume even more empty calories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One study found that adults who ate ultra-processed foods ended up consuming 500 more calories daily compared to those who ate minimally processed foods (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nih.gov\/news-events\/nih-research-matters\/eating-highly-processed-foods-linked-weight-gain\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).
