Which Ayurvedic dosha is most linked to weight gain?

Kapha dosha is traditionally most associated with weight gain, due to its qualities of heaviness, stability, and slower metabolism. However, imbalances in Vata and Pitta can also contribute to weight-related concerns in different ways.

Can I have more than one dominant dosha?

Yes, most people have a combination of two dominant doshas, known as a dual constitution, rather than fitting into just one category. A formal assessment with an Ayurvedic practitioner can help clarify your unique combination.

Does Ayurveda recommend the same diet for weight loss for everyone?

No, Ayurveda emphasises personalised dietary approaches based on your dominant dosha, current imbalances, season, and individual digestion, rather than a single universal diet plan.
