Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 my experience with these things is that over time, the more you practice, the more natural it becomes to give up meat, sugar, etc. i've found these changes to further improve my practice, so that i am rewarded each day for the lifestyle choices. after time, it feels less like i'm giving up stuff, cause the changes are so satisfying in the long term. best to you with your practice, Stuart Hege Nordskog <hehege wrote: Dear friends, I have a question that I hope someone will be able to give me some kind of answer to. I read these messages about people who have become vegetarian, given up sugar and other things and I seem to have a difficult time controlling similar aspects of my life that has to do with food and I guess also materialistic items as well. My question is how do you go about making these changes and has anybody out there really struggled with this and succeeded. I appreciate with thanks any input from anyone on this.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Dear H I'm a vegeterian for more than 20 years. To be a vegetarian means to eat no meat. In many restaurants you can find vegetarian meals nowadays. When I started eating vegetarian food I bought a cooking book. "Vegetarian meals all over the world" and I tried out these recipes. My expierience is that most people eat 7 to 8 different meals. Some of these meals are perhaps already vegetarian. You can substitute the others one after the other. One thing that made it easy to eat no meat was, that I didn't like to support the cruel meat industry. I like animals. They have rights like we human beings. A few months ago I started eating only vegan food: no animal products at all. It's amazing in how many products we can found animal product. It is not easy to follow a vegan diet. I try to plan my meals ahead. I go less in restaurants. Instead of a cappuccino I take an espresso and so forth. I also found a supporting internet group. You can be sure you won't regret it once you'll be a vegetarian. It' easier to stay in good shape, you'll feel easier after eating and there are many delicious vegetarian meals.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Hi Hege, I myself am still struggling with this, but can offer a great book I am reading: "What Are You Hungry For?". I believe there is a web site as well. Richard Freeman's wife is a co-author. I think many experience natural changes as they progress in their practice of yoga, but regarding things like diet, I have not been one of them. The book has been of great help so far, and although it is primarily aimed at women, I think all genders can find it helpful. Best wishes, Rayna Hege Nordskog <hehege wrote: Dear friends, I have a question that I hope someone will be able to give me some kind of answer to.
