Sattvic is the name of a 5000-year-old Ayurvedic diet, used as a yoga diet for those who practice yoga or pilates and also want to follow a more natural diet to purify themselves, lose weight and improve their health.

The Sattvic yoga diet is a diet that is mainly based on Sattvic foods, which purify and drain the body and make you lose weight.

How Much Weight Do You Lose? In general, weight loss is rapid in the first few weeks, around a pound. But the regimen should always be discussed with the doctor. As an alternative to the example plans, you can also opt for free choices, following only the recommended foods. In this case it should be considered that the diet is low fat .
So you have to limit yourself to a teaspoon of oil per meal and a portion of 15 grams per day of seeds or dried fruit.
