Ragmaala Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 So far today I only had 1 paraunthi in morning. Rest of the day was filled with sweet potato, apple, carrot sabji, yogurt. No bread today, only natural carbs. I am getting a headache, just had coffee for desperate measure. I dont know if its the roti withdrawal or just placebo effect. I guess the mood is just depressed today for some unknown reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you decrease carbs you sometimes get these things for a few days whilst your body readjusts to the new level of carbs being taken in. I still have to say, I'm not seeing much protein in your diet bro? One problem I have carbs is that it simply doesn't make me fill full up. So I could eat a giant bag of say Doritos, and 15 minutes later I'm hungry again! With fats and protein, they tend to make you feel fuller for longer which helps you resist snacking all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things I can think of are maybe peanut butter, maybe tofu ( but people say it increases estrogen, not sure if thats a myth), I guess need to make atleast 1 daal everyday. Paneer once a week, cant eat that everyday. Lets see how it goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsingh101 Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 DAY 27: 27/2/16 Okay, just finished a nice bis and tris workout (mainly tris to be honest). Not eaten much today. Had a LM sausage sandwich earlier and some peanuts. Workout was good! Did 5 sets of ez bar preacher curls (then stopped further bis exercises because of slight pain in right bicep that I don't want to aggravate). For tris I did: 5 x close grip bench press, 5 x overhead extension with hammer bar, Compounded 5 x tr push outs, followed immediately by light cable pull downs and ended with 3 sets of dips - was going for 5 sets but my speaker died....;. Just making my evening meal, which I'll post when it's done. Got a card from next door thanking me for the other day, which was nice. It said: "Unfortunately he is seriously ill" so I'm presuming he is in hospital then? Poor guy, my prayers go out to him and his family. My camera is playing up so I can't post a picture of my meal. For anyone interested I'm having 2 spicy bean burgers (which aren't really spicy) and some steamed mixed veg (carrots, broccoli and cauliflower) sprinkled with cheese. And a pot of low fat cottage cheese with pineapple as a desert (and to top up protein). When this month is over I'm going to give a very honest appraisal of the month and the strengths and weaknesses of this diet over my previous one. You have been warned! lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its normal that you get some side effects when you change your diet, headaches or nausea..its normal... I'd say stay away from coffee (unless your a coffee drinker) just ride it our for a couple of days.. also jacket potatoes are good too.. 47 minutes ago, dalsingh101 said: One problem I have carbs is that it simply doesn't make me fill full up.

Eventually, I want to come off any grains. Its a step by step slow process. Lets see. But you are right about homemade bread, its def better than market. Bread is just a crutch for me that I will eventually leave. This is my own experiment with roti and will let the sangat know about results. Whole grains are important part of the diet, if you remove this you will have to get fiber from fruits or nuts( need a lot of them). Without Fiber your digestive system will always kick you in the gut. Most of the people shy away from Grains saying oh it's Carbs, we just gotta know which Carb is good and which is bad for us. Milk and cheese is not good for us either, since it's coming from cows or Buffaloes who have been given hormones or steroids injection. I am so going breatherian, everything is corrupted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragmaala Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Our bodies are unique and if we listen to our bodies we will know what's good for us. There's nothing wrong with experimenting with food and finding out what's best for you. That's all I am doing. Atleast I will try for 2 months and then present my conclusions. And my experiment involves removing grains for now. So let's see. Btw many hardcore saints doing tapasya in the past avoided grains like plague esp wheat because apparently it causes stupor which is detrimental to meditation. They stick to fruits or tubers or milk. i have noticed some difference but I will save that for after maybe two months. btw what's a breatharian ? Living on air ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. If we followed that thinking we'd end up hardly eating anything and then doing an 'own goal' by getting deficiency diseases or getting majorly underweight. When I was very very younger I used to work in this dusty warehouse and I remember a boss once telling me that "We eat at least 3 buckets of dirt before we die." I didn't get it at the time but I do now. You can't be too fussy sometimes. And sometimes ingesting unpleasant stuff is a fact of life. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure they are skinny but still a lot of respect for controlling food temptation I'm not going to lie. The breatherian idea is too stupid for me to waste time on it. We should be aiming to make ourselves as strong and healthy as possible. It's people failing to do that that caused all the grooming problem in the UK (well that at least played a part). Here we have sullay going abroad to camps and training in warfare; a lot of right wing goray are expecting and planning to make trouble when the opportunirt arises - given these things (let alone dasmesh pita's instructions to be tyar-bar-tyar!) any apna bundha half-straving themselves is retarded and just asking for trouble. Sister if you have issues with food like anorexia, have you sought psychological/medical help for it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sister if you have issues with food like anorexia, have you sought psychological/medical help for it? Veerji..I don't have anorexia and I don't have eating problem either. Sure I eat healthy and try to remove chemicals from my food. I eat more than any member in my Family but it's healthy so I need more to feel full . The whole thing started because ragmaala ji said he is gonna cut down the grain and I could not understand what is he gonna replace it with to fill the need of Fiber( essential component for good digestion). Not all of wants to be on a warrior mentality. I would rather grow spiritually than expecting a war and be ready for it. When times get rough, people have shown hysterical strength to fight it. I don't remember but there was a news where an old lady turned the car upside down to save a child's life and she was super old. I am not saying that people should starve themselves but Fasting does have a lot of benefits. Sometime when I eat less, I have more energy. Not everybody can go breatharian, it require a lot of mental practice and no, people who are on this path are not weak. They might not be physically strong that much but what they know spiritually is another power itself. A physical strong guy can protect himself by fighting ability and a spiritually elevated person can do the same thing with a smile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GurpreetKaur Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 I once read a book and I was so happy that I obtain that esoteric knowledge and he said something at the end which made me never read another book by that author. He said I have studied most of the religion and he named all of them including Islam and at the end he said but I did not learn Sikhsim because I don't believe in war. I was not into sikhi that much but that boiled my blood and I was like how dare he. And then I did realize that most of the people do observe Sikhs as somewhat who are always ready for war. After 6 years now I understand what sikhi is about and I love it but for couple years I lived with that notion and used to argue with Mom why was there a need for Sikhs to have that many wars. I know better now since I read the History ( not whole though). 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
