yoga/spiritual studies and nutrition

[Guest guest]

one thing that i have noticed with people studying yoga as well as with my own

studies and practices is that often an intolerance for milk seems to happen that

lasts for a year or more, and then suddenly it seems the body not only is fine

with it, but cravings for it return. some still crave it, but the body won't

tolerate it for a time it seems. curious if others have noticed the same thing.

additionally for myself, i use the nourishing traditions cookbook, but find

that my body generally does in fact not seem to want meat, and if i think about

cooking i think mainly about cooking the meatless dishes, which are mainly what

i use. there are periods where my body may crave meat, but it seems to be mainly

short periods and then i find myself back to consuming less meat, however, i

continue to consumer dairy products (although eggs too, i tend to eat less of

generally, except for small cravings). i know in yogic studies they recommend a

vegetarian diet, although i myself have not generally felt like i was to be a

purist. i enjoy the flavor of meat and indian meat dishes are among my favorite

ways to eat it, but so far it has seemed like something i am to avoid spending

much time cooking. being that i try to listen to my body and my cravings which

are generally for things like cabbage or kale or yogurt, i figure it is likely

the yogic practices (including

chanting) that are part of this.
