I'm a strict vegetarian. Not eating veggie's would result in not doing

yoga. I also don't eat sugar have not for many years. Being limited to

ghee and milk does not sound like any fun.

Yoga teaches YOU to become YOUR own best doctor and nutritionist. Through

yoga my awareness and sensitivity to foods and their effect upon my body

have increased dramatically. I don¹t do milk anymore as I occasionally get

a burning sensation in my stomach after a bowl of cereal. I¹ve discovered

soy milk, and I¹m really glad because its gorgeous!

 

Does Guruji really love milk that much? I read somewhere that milk left for

more than a few days is ³very bad.² I know he¹s a bit of a candy lover! In

fact, doesn¹t he have a mild form of diabetes?

 

Fruit is full of sugar (vegetables not so much) and I tend to get 4-5

portions of fruit down me in the day. Can¹t possibly eat enough fruit.

 

Of course, the occasional bar of chocolate is always good!

 

I have also read that having a Œday-off¹ or Œrest-day¹ from so-called Œgood

food¹ can be a good thing as it kinda shakes up the metabolism a little and

stops the body from falling into a complacent metabolic state. I usually

rest on Saturdays, so I kinda pig out a little on Friday nights, or eat some

tasty unhealthy sweet stuff!! Mmmmmm.

 

Its no good to punish yourself on a 24/7 basis. Reward yourself from time

to time, but choose your moment carefully so as not to ruin your practice

the next day.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, one has to do what works

for your body. can't see how milk, sugar and butter

would be good for me or make me feel very goood.

hi,

in ayverda theory, milk and sugar is satvik food.[pure food].

milk is also very nutritient for the bones.

but some people they miss some enzymes in the stomach, and the

digestion of milk is very dificult. those people should eat yogurt

than milk.

sugar you can take from fruits ,its enouph inside them.

but ofcource this diet is not enouph. vegetables and brown wheat or

rice is also very nutritient.

and the best is to listen your own body.

Om Namam Sivaya.
