Popular Post dalsingh101 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 DAY 28: 28/2/16 Okay! Here we are, on the penultimate day of this blog. Finished some body weight training a little while ago, reps weren't particularly great (I have to say). I'm munching on small plate of carrot sticks, celery and homous as I type (the keyboard is beginning to get messy......). Don't know what I'll have for my main meal. Will decide when I finished typing this up. Nothing much to report other than I can't believe my vegruary is already coming to a close. In the beginning it loomed ahead of me like a protracted endless chore, but now it seems like time has.....zoom!......flown by. I survived!! lol Do you know if this wasn't a leap year, today would've been the last day. Quote Not all of wants to be on a warrior mentality. I would rather grow spiritually than expecting a war and be ready for it. That's cool, but don't encourage that in guys. The last thing we need right now are even more dorks/puppoos. Quote Tyar bar tyar is a good thing but most of the Sikhs who learn fighting art are always angry, especially Nihangs. Not trying to offend anyone but I know how easily some Sikhs get angry and they are the ones who have the ability to kill you without you even realizing it lol. I don't know. That's just a small element of (mostly) jut fudhoos in the panth. What we are talking about is greater than them and what they stand for. The other thing is, if only this type train and others don't - it will give them a free reign on the community. Use your brain. We need to counter balance them. Plus I note this type is only really anakhi against other apany. They usually sh1t their pants when it comes to confronting any tough goray/kalay. Quote sometimes I think wouldn't it be nice if blacks stayed in Africa, American Indians stayed in America, Whites stayed in Europe, Muslims in middle east & Indians in South Asia. All this mixing together has caused so many insecurities and discrimination problems. Now that it's happened, let's not be pussies about it. In any case, you lot got in good in Canada in relation to these things! Damn lucky canucks! lol Quote Breakie..5 scrambled eggs Luch...2 aloo pranteh with butter and dhey Also had afternoon cha with 2 samoseh, 1 spring role and 4jalebia (my sister brought them over, would have been rude not to eat them..joke..i just couldnt resist).lol Dinner..Veg lasagne.. Gonna have my dodh with honey now and chill... Im defo gonna feel this tomorrow when training...lol Keep it real bro! That's pretty much a cheat day! lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty much a cheat day! lol I am not discouraging any guy to not get physically strong. Of course I want a husband who can beat anybody up if needed lol, it's just most of the men become cocky instead of being confident once they start training. And many times get in trouble since their ego trip them. But I do agree with you, we need to learn how to fight. You just woke up my desire to learn Martial art again. I need to find me some classes now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dalsingh101 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 DAY 29: 29/2/16 (Last day) Okay guys, I'll tell you what I've had today: Breakfast: 2 LM sausages in Burgen bread sandwich (with ketchup). Green tea. Lunch: Celery and carrot sticks with homous. Soaked almonds. (Had a couple pieces of hazelnut and choc bar too) Dinner: 2 rotis + black daal and rajma + Greek yogurt + mango achaar. I'm yet to eat the last meal above (it's heating up as I type!), and I can't wait for it. Training wise, I just did a little bit of cardio, 6 sets of dips and some core to target that tidh. It was FREEZING today and that didn't help with training, plus I was in a celebratory mood having finished the month. I made it! Thanks for everyone who shared this experience with me on the blog, I really appreciate it. You made it infinitely more interesting and I loved all the sharing of experiences. I'm going to have a think about things over the next day or so and will post a synopsis of the experience in that time. In case people are wondering (and so I don't leave you hanging), I'm in no rush to eat meat, but I got a bunch frozen in the freezer I have to finish at some stage. I'm really glad I did this, and it's given me so much useful information. I want to share something on this thread to celebrate: It's Christopher Shackle's hard to find An introduction to the sacred language of Sikhs. It really helps with vocabulary. I hope some of you find it useful. https://www.scribd.com/doc/300210173/An-introduction-to-the-Sacred-Language-of-Sikhs-by-Christopher-Shackle Thanks again for sharing this journey with me. Got to eat now, I'm starving! lol One love. Dalsingh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dalsingh101 Posted March 3, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 PERSONAL SYNOPSIS Okay folks, as promised, I'll be giving you a personal account and evaluation of my vegruary. Let me say at the outset, these are my personal subjective thoughts; I don't for one second presume they are generalisable because we are all so genetically and biological unique. I'll stick a few headings in to try and keep my thoughts focused and make reading easier. Don't be surprised if you find some replication of thoughts I posted earlier. Ease I found the change in diet easier earlier on than later. Shopping was much quicker because you essentially didn't go near a large part of the supermarket. Cooking varied vegetarian dishes was challenging due to personal lack of experience, I think if you are living with other vegetarians who cook for you, it would be much easier. Or if you're already proficient in cooking such meals. I didn't precook a bunch of food like I might of, due to time constraints from other commitments and my fridge playing up. On reflection this could have helped big time. I didn't crave meat for the taste at all during the diet, which surprised some people. Strength, energy and nutrients I did find my strength and energy levels gradually but steadily dropping on this diet and I found myself (more often than I would have liked), missing planned training sessions which was unusual for me. On the last few days the decrease in my rep range was considerable and noticeable. Now whether this was because of the diet per se is debatable. I've subsequently read up on the topic and found accounts explaining that you can have a sharp decrease in red blood cell production when you switch diets suddenly like I did. For all I know this deficiency might have been a main cause of the loss of energy I experienced? What this does point at is the necessity of being conscious of such things and planning your diet in reflection of that. I think the decrease of creatine from meat may have also played a part in this too? Given that I did this diet without any supplements (creatine, BCCAs etc.), and even used protein powder very very sparingly I'd be interested to see how things would have panned out had I used these readily. But that is an experiment for another day. Financial constraints prevented me from buying these things this time. Plus it was good for me to see what things would be like without these things. You know, the problem with a decrease in energy is that its effects are wide ranging, so not only can it effect your training performance, you find you don't have the energy/will to whip something up later in the evening, especially after training, so it's like a vicious cycle. Again, I don't know how generalisable these things are because I know a good few vegetarians who are bulky and have lots of jaan. But for me personally, it was an issue. Mass I asked my housemate if I had lost mass on the day after the diet and he said 'definitely'. I can see myself looking slimmer in the mirror and my muscles are less developed. But I don't look bad, it's like a semi-cut. Hats off to those of you who maintain good bulk on a vegetarian diet. Those of you who actually have obesity problems on a vegetarian diet - boy I don't know how you do it! lol Expect to lose a few kgs on this diet. In light of this, I think it is a brilliant diet for weight loss. And will definitely use it again for this purpose if required. The diet did a grand job in getting that tidh nice and inwards - which every Panjabi knows can be an issue for us..... lol Physical and psychological effects I've previously mentioned clearer skin, and a calmer frame of mind. The diet helped resolve issues I was having with insomnia very quickly. I'm eating meat now, and have already noticed a quick return of the insomnia. Bags under the eyes decreased too. Whether this was the diet or due to improved sleep is debatable. I felt 'cleaner' on this diet and woke up feeling infinitely more fresher than usual. Overall It was a great experience and I'd like to try it again, but be better prepared this time with supplements and a better cooking repertoire. I would recommend a vege month to everyone - with the exception of those who are already underweight. Yes, I can see myself getting the components right and becoming a vegetarian some day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
