Suggestions for sattvic diet

[Guest guest]

Pranams,

 

For past few years, I have been experimenting with sattvic diet but

continue having some trouble with it.

 

First year, I tried pure sattvic diet, no eggs, no meat, no garlic

etc. I live in the US and this just meant no eating out anytime.

I did feel nice initially but later on, I started getting tired

physically and travelling started becoming impossible. I was once in

Kentucky in a restaurant, I asked for veggie salad and the waiter shot

back "We aint got any veggie salad, I can get you a chicken salad

without the chicken...".

 

Anyways, I then tried to partially include eggs etc. and I think they

all ultimately landed up in the rajasic category.

 

The Bhakti Yoga states that one cannot achieve bhakti unless he

follows a sattvic diet. It also states that one has to be physically

strong as well.

 

I dont think I have succeeded in my quest for a practical sattvic diet

for a working, family man. Do you have any advice for me?

 

Regards,
