Govindaram Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Hare Krishna I have an uncle in India who's spiritual master said to him to eat just once a day, but drink water throughout the day of-cource, and he seems so calm and happy plus extra Laxsmi, do Krishna devotees recommend doing this to control the mind or should you eat small meals throughout the day? he's been doing this for about 15 years now /images/graemlins/shocked.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 This was also tried in ISKCON around 1974/1975 but the devotees were unable to stick to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauracandra Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 I have read recently that low caloric intake results in much higher life in lab animals. They have found that if a mouse is given smaller meals (substantially smaller) that these animals live much longer. The thinking is perhaps the energy used by the body in metabolism causes the cells not to deteriorate as rapidly. They also did the same experiment where they kept the calories the same, but instead skipped one day. That is if you eat 2000 calories a day, they'd give you 4000 on one day, and 0 the next day, 4000 following, then 0 etc.... This approach also lead to much longer life. Not sure of the reasoning or if these are conclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Govindaram Posted June 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 Hare Krishna I was having a chat on paltalk with a devotee of Lord Krishna, and he said in answer to my question that- "your body is mechanism for service of Radha-Krishna and looking after this body is a must so look after it nicely" good advice don't you think?
