Luckily for you, Kaljugi, I am resident Professor of Vitamins at Cambridge University, as well as being honourary Head of the Nutrients Depart at Oxford, I am thus in a position to advise you that it is safe for you take the multivitamins as well as the one D3 per day. Can I also take this opportunity to recommend a really tasty vegetarian item for you ? I'd been eating all my life but recently gave up meat after pressure from my wife, for health reasons. I did however, crave meat sometimes, with many of the vegetarian frozen meal options tasting quite horrible. I tried very hard to find something that tasted like Subway's Veggie Patty. I have now found it, and it tastes so good I really don't miss meat at all. Its the 'Garden Gourmet' Company's Veggie Burgers , available at Tesco (and possibly other supermarkets) . It really is very unusual for a frozen vegetarian food in that it genuinely tastes super felicious. Exactly like Subway's veggie patty. I'm mentioning it here on the 'healthy living' section not because I believe it is a super healthy food but because i do believe its important to give those that are trying hard to maintain a healthy veggie diet something to consider in terms of taste. I'm not saying I've given up meat forever...After all, wedding season is just around the corner and i just know I'll be eating some meat at some of those functions.....but since I've been on a veggie diet the last few months I've felt a whole lot healthier (both physically and mentally) and lost some extra weight. Without the 'Garden Gourmet' range though, I don't think I coulda lasted this long.

West London Singh, sounds like you have already made the biggest step, like why give up now? Don't let wedding season spoil your vegetarian diet.

as mentioned by another member get a dog :D Iv been wanting one for a while now but no-ones trusting me with a dog lol..kuljug je to motivate walking without a dog try put on a kirtan shabad that you know will last 30-40mins and walk with that on. It'll make the walk seem really short :) alternatively when you go food shopping etc walk into every possible isle lol

Oh hoh! West London singh emerges from the shadows and lays it all on the table at last! :respect:

Well, thank-you for the confirmation about the vitamins. I will get them tomorrow; I seriously need them!

As for food and diet, I've given up all processed food so vegetarian patties, veg "sausages", etc., are no-go areas for me. They aren't good for me on a dietary level and since I couldn't do any meaningful exercise to work them off, such food is off the menu for good. I've arrived at the stage in my life where I don't eat food for taste anymore - I eat simply for sustenance and that's all. It may sound boring but I've really had enough of my particular issues so drastic measures had to be taken. Funnily enough the desire to delight in food tastes and flavours went away since I started studying and reciting Gurbani quite recently. Maybe there's a link? Who knows.

That's where I want to get to one day

...been naughty today had biscuits and chocolate!

It's quite strange as food just isn't a big deal anymore. In the evenings I'm more than happy to have some cereal in hot milk and go to bed. But prior to this I was a proper foodie, always hoping for something tasty or 'chapti', lol.

I wouldn't worry about the biscuits as long as you aren't going through half a pack each day which was something I use to do as well. :blush2:

    • 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.
