Great idea.

To OP you got wicked eating ideas; looks like your a food specialist of some description (I could be wrong though) so my question is how would you get someone who physically can't eat normal amounts of food (due to eating disorder) to start eating normal portions again? (Your recipes sound yummmy). ps: they are eating less than what they should by far due to fear of "gaining" weight. Mafi for off topic.

Had a cup of saunf-lechee di chaa and some bhujiyaa a few hours ago.

What?!!? :biggrin2:

On a serious note I've reduced my intake of bread (despite consuming wholemeal / brown bread since I was a child) and it's worked wonders for me in terms of feeling less lethargic. Don't know why because bread and roti (plus the usual suspects daalah and sabziya) is all I've ever eaten because of veg diet. I'm also eating a fair amount of fresh salad with every meal and have been doing for many years now.

Next step is to start training.

Gurfateh jee

Bhenjee thanks for your message about someone. I am not a food specialist by profession but I have gained some knowledge of food and nutrition over the years. A person with an eating disorder can eat normal amounts but they choose not to for whatever reason, sometimes it can be associated with weight gain but there are many other things that could contribute.

Bhenjee eating disorders are quite complex and I wouldn't be able to give you a quick fix solution but I understand them very well. Perhaps you could message me some more details about this person, such as age/gender, how long and which disorder they have been diagnosed with, whether they are/ have received any support. I don't know how much you know about eating disorders but I think the first step to recovery is recognising that you have a problem and wanting to get better. Is he/she at that stage? How much do they weigh? How underweight are they, if applicable?

He/she may benefit from cognitive behaviour theory, if they have visited the doctor (assuming you are from the UK), the doctor should refer them to a specialist unit to offer such support. They will help to explain the damage caused by not feeding your body what it needs and then should support them with the changes they will have to make.

Is he/she amritdhari or do they read any gurbani? I would suggest that they read/ listen to sukhamani sahib every day (in addition to whatever they already do) and then do ardas infront of guru jee to help them recover. I think the one thing that on a sikhi level helps is remembering that these bodies that we call our own, belong to parmathma. If they begin to realise that, it makes it easier to let go.

The important thing here is that they must want to get better, if they do then they can slowly start introducing bigger portions or foods that they have excluded from their diet. He/she will need support and the greatest support with come from faith in maharaj and by reading/ listening to gurbani.

the next day pizza again, and pizza and pizza

Can I suggest you find something more productive to do than post unwanted messages on this thread please. I am sure there's plenty of other things that would be more benefical to you, perhaps find a good book. I am sure there are plenty of recommendations under one of the other topics. Thanks.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
