Thank you change is going quite well and the schedule's "in" and i'm comfortable with it. Have a wide array of daalan (moongi, chana, masaran, kaalay cholay, white chollay ect) and some barian. Plenty of protein there with peanutbutter sandwiches, vege sandwich with lettuce, tomato, cheese, cucumber, 1000 island dressing. Occasionally have rice and nutella sandwiches. I used to make a lot of potato sabji, might start again to increase callory intake .

That's cool. Do you train as well?

I would take that as a no bhajee.

Now that winter is here, I have been having porridge 2-3 times a week. I also tried white quinoa (as suggested in another thread) and it tastes fine. I have also had red quinoa which seemed to have a different texture... the white one was more like rice and the red was more like seeds, although perhaps that was down to cooking time. I used to eat steamed veg most days with my meals but I have got bored of that so having more salads and snacking on raw veg, nuts and raisins.

I need to go training today, had a couple of days off so should have a good workout.

Rice and nutella sandwiches, that sounds horrible.

GuptKaur seems like you're on top of things and same with you Balait paaji!

Good job, I'm still struggling to put on some proper mass by eating healthy and working out consistently. Have been eating quite clean - daal, (two rotian - sometimes three), creamy broccoli soup, high protein whole grain pasta, peanut butter, whole grain bread and other things i can't think of right now.

I do indulge in an apple pie here and there and some sugar, but I try not to. Before and after I do clap push ups, dumbbels and pull ups I take a chamcha of organic raw honey. It works as a good aid and then a protein shake with one banana and a little milk with 25ish grams of protein.

I have a problem eating as much as I should. People who work out keep telling me to eat so much that my stomach explodes, but I feel like if I do that i will just get fat lol so i'm just eating clean and normally. I don't want to get massive and turn into a body builder, just want to be physically fit.

After it gets a bit warmer hopefully I've gained some muscle and then i'll start running at the track.

Well I made it to the gym, so that was good.

Bhajee (singh559), what's your actual workout, maybe you need to change it? Atm I am training to tone, so gaining muscle and not having any problems. Do you take extra protein within 60mins of completing a resistance workout? If you are trying to gain, then you can eat extra pasta, rice, bread. Just eat more often, rather than masses that you cant handle.

also, how often are you training? You need sufficent rest periods in between workouts.

Wholemeal pasta instead of white is better, same as brown rice rather than white, and wholemeal bread rather than white.

Daal, sabjia in olive oil thorkaa rather than butter thorka, or other healthy oil, is better for you.

biscuits, cakes too much sugary food not good.

Beans, lentils, good.

fruit, salad all good.

mcdonalds, chips, fried food and all that not good.

Auley means olives...

Has anybody had cous cous, and do they like it?

Roti good, paroteh if u can digest them ok, but less on th butter.

dahi, milk all good, but if u cannot have fullfat then semi-skimmed or skimmed is better, i use organic semi-skimmed, taste is much better too.

organic food is good if u can afford it.

Basically i personally have found thru my health condition experience, the best foods are daal/sabji roti, and they fill me up more than western food.

If you dont have a health condition then yoghurt milk butter in moderation is ok...

Crisps have now n again, just for taste, but instead fruit,. other alternatives,eg:dried fruits better..

coriander, mint, jeera, tumeric, chillies have good properties too.

I find punjabi food made with right ingredients is much better for me, rather than western foods...anybody have this issue too?

Ps: if anybody has an eating disorder they should go to their doctor, rather than getting help from elsewhere first.

I used to go to the gym, but now that I don't feel like it I just do some simple stuff at home. 30 pound dumbbell curls, clap push ups (push up and them clap your hands) until failure, pull ups, various types of sit ups.

I know I usually have a calorie deficit so I'm going to start making mashed potatoes as that helps. Yesterday I had some mashed potatoes, bread and broccoli soup and after a couple hours I took a teaspoon of organic honey and gave a go at pull ups. I did 13, the most I've ever done.

Quite sore today

    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.  
    • Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
