Love your channel!❤😊 Been a veg for over 45 yrs. I’m 72 and super active, in fact I did your 30 day surya namaskar challenge and loved it. It’s a lovely freeing lifestyle. All your points are spot on! Again thx for a beautiful channel❤😊
Been a vegetarian for about 24 years. I was raised in South Texas, where most people have very easy access to all kinds of meat. It was customary in my family for us to have meat 3 times a day! Can you believe that?! This still shocks me - not just from an ethical standpoint but a financial one too. I was born with a strong love for animals, and I struggled so much inside with eating meat. For most Americans, having meat is a very sterile convenience. Everything is nicely packaged in a grocery store. One can easily disconnect from the animal killing taking place. Once I was on my own, I began to naturally eat less meat. I discovered that my body really craved vegetables. Honestly, one big hindrance for me was financial - I was working long hours, trying to pay off my college debt - and had no energy to cook. I didn’t have the money to buy nice vegetarian food. And so I would often rely on cheap fast food. Lots of burgers. 🙄 It wasn’t until I moved to Switzerland that changed the course of my eating habits forever. I couldn’t really afford to eat out so often, and so I had to force myself to learn to cook. I discovered that I just couldn’t bring myself to handle raw meat. I bought myself a really nice vegetarian cookbook (Mollie Katzen - Moosewood Cookbook) and taught myself. The Swiss have some of the most beautiful vegetables, and they don’t eat meat as often as Americans (who does really?). I also started studying/practicing yoga and meditation, and I can affirm everything you’ve said here. The desire, cravings, mindset, everything just fell away. I discovered that I was actually a decent vegetarian cook! And best of all, I could fully embrace my love for all animals.❤️🙏🏼 It is such a personal issue/choice. No one should criticize anyone for eating meat. I would only say that if someone has a conviction about it - especially about killing animals and how taxing it is on our planet, they should DEFINITELY explore this. Best wishes - thank you for this. Namaste 🙏🏼🕉
7 years ago I stopped eating meat because of my kidney issues. Then I listened to my body and worked with my nephrologist and started eating chicken again, slowly. I lost weight, gained muscle, zero fatigue. My labs are all better, my digestion is better. Your body stops making the correct acids and enzymes to digest meat when you don’t eat me for long periods of time. You can easy build those back up by slow introduction. It doesn’t mean your like this for life.
This was my last video just before going to sleep and I'm grateful that I'm ending my day on such a positive note. Anita the vibe, the energy that you project can be felt so strongly. I can totally relate to you. I stopped eating non vegetarian too 2 years ago. I have been an animal & a bird rescuer and a yoga practitioner but then I still used to consume non vegetarian & the positive changes I saw and felt within myself was only after quitting non vegetarian. As you so rightly mentioned I feel so connected to Mother Earth and sensitive towards it's beings, both animals and humans. The change is remarkable. And yes I also wanted to quit non vegetarian but I couldn't & felt like a hypocrite but then all of a sudden getting deeper into yoga , meditation and especially after rescuing birds, all of a sudden one day I didn't have the desire to consume non vegetarian anymore just like you. And that was the best decision of my life. Yes we have no right to take away anyone's life. Thankyou Anita for this video. You are a wonderful soul. The words you used, Prana, Tamas, etc I'm so happy to hear those.
If one doesn't 'depend on' or 'need' something,one won't have to entirely give it up. With non veg as with anything else in life. Moderation is the key.
Got emotional watching this. I too left non-veg for same 3 yrs like you 😊. Believe or not - i felt a drastic change in my life & my gut health improved a lot & never faced digestive issues after that . My mind stays calm & relaxed. More focused on my works rather than always craving for food in mind's thinking about- Chicken, mutton etc🤣🤣. This video made my day ❤️🙏🏻as it resembled my life as well ❤️🙏🏻. Thanks a lot for this video 🙏🏻 And I will be getting the vitamin B12 which you showed. Really needed 🙏🏻
After watching this video, I too left non veg from past 2days...and tomorrow is the Sunday ,so i planned chicken...& I can't imagine my life without nonveg..sorry mam
I'm just kidding yaar...and what you think...that mam really stop eating nonveg...I can't believe..her body structure will say, she also can't imagine her life without chicken😂
Great value Anita! I love your videos ❤️ I'm from Brazil and I've been vegetarian for 16 years! Since I was 17 and I turned to vegan 2 years ago. Stop eat animals was the best decision that I've made it. it's diabolic the way the humans treats them. Cows, pigas, chickens and other animals don't want to die to serve us. It wrong eat animals, period. Vegetables don't have nervous system. Don't feel pain. I was decided to stop eating meat because I was interested in yoga. I started to practice yoga at almost the same time the I decided to go veggie and I was like surprise when I founded that was a connection between yoga e vegetarianism. I feel that was like " I have to take this path" Was my soul called to take this spiritual journey. Now I'm 33 years old and still practice yoga and 2022 I'm celebrating 16 been vegetarian!💚🌱 Half of my existence in this world not eat my friends animals and doing my best to not cause any suffering to then. And yeas, our meditation/ yoga practice is easier when we're vegetarian. Our body, mind and soul say thank you 🙏🧘🕉️
Amazing narrative. I love your storytelling skills , how beautifully you explained. I was contemplating of giving up fish 🐠 though I have given up chicken ,meat and eggs. You have answered all my questions.
Wow...glad to find out someone on the same path...i hve left meat in 2017 now in the way to give up fish. Being a Bengali its a bit tricky but it will gradually happen.
Wow lovely video....I can co relate with this video so much....I am a vegetarian and people have tried convincing me to eat non veg but I never had the desire too, never felt like...thank so much for making such wonderful videos....
@anitabokepalli exactly my case.. stopped non veg 3 years and never felt the desire to eat again..my gut health and digestion has improved a lot since then.
Hi .....so happy to connect with you..... 8 year back....before marriage my husband also told me to stop eating non vegetarian.....and bcoz of that so many good things happened....... my son born as a Pure Vegetarian 😊
I am also a non vegetarian turned vegetarian and I agree to every single thing that you say minus one thing - please research, if the entire human population turns vegetarian- there will not be enough food for all in this planet. There is a reason why we have a food chain. If we break it by arguments like “taking a life” there will be anarchy. Plant food price will sky rocket 🚀 demands will not be met, poor will die of hunger and there will be wars. So nice but not feasible. All of us who have turned vegetarians are privileged, I must say. It’s not a model for all
This is not true. If the world turned vegetarian, this would end World hunger completely. We produce food for 10 billion people but a large portion of this food is feed to animals. According to estimates from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, if all the crops currently fed to livestock were redirected to human consumption, it could provide enough calories to feed the current global population.
It's not the question she is flexible & healthy . She is killing an innocent living being . She could stay healthy & flexible by eating vegetarian food also
I want to stop eating non veg food so much but that desire u told, I can’t stop my desire when I see non veg food. I am so jealous of people who are veg by birth or their families are vegetarian bcz they never had to try. I try for a week and then I crave for it and end up consuming. Can u share which meditation programs u enrolled & from where? If u can share the link it will be immensely helpful. Also share ur daily routine vlog. Would love to follow ur path. Plz share the link where I can enroll for yogic programs. U are helping someone follow ur path. Thanks a lot.
Sure.. just come and do the Online Breath & Meditation Workshop with me 😊. Leave your details here to be informed about the next one: linktr.ee/AOL_India
I have been a strict vegetarian for ethical reasons for over 30 years (I'm 65) and have been in much better health ever since, I'm in very good health. I never make publicity for this, I only tell it if I really have to, and I never critisize non vegetarians as this is completely counter-productive. I hope to become vegan asap...
I really needed this. I am a 17 year old who has completed 1 whole year of being a vegetarian and I feel proud that I did because it was not so easy.I quit nonveg forcefully because I am against animal abuse. My family is non vegetarian and living in this environment sometimes tends to get challenging for my senses but sometimes I do feel like I crave nonveg food sometimes and think will I have to control myself for the rest of my life ?or the cravings will go away on it's own.
Your body needs the nutrients in animal foods. Why do you think you have those “cravings”? It’s because you’re lacking in several nutrients, most of the time they’re vitamin B12, iron/ferritin, vitamin K2, a lack of protein/amino acids, and lots more. You will suffer in the long run if you keep this up. Please stop avoiding animal foods.
After a certain period ur body stops craving meat. I was a hardcore nonveg, had to stop chicken at 14 cuz it gave me painful periods. Continued eating fish and eggs till 18. Later I had to live away from home and my mess served only veg food. It's been 2 years since I've been a complete vegetarian. My family eats non veg in front of me yet I don't feel any desire to eat it.
You are totally right I always feel lethargic after eating non veg You just gave me new perspective and reason to quit non veg You just brainwashed me to live a healthier life Thank you so much DIDI 🙏🙏🙏
yes i am also turned vegetarian 3years ago as i took oath on my higher secodary exam days that ill quit my fav things ever to score better results and start doing yoga..it was initially very hard as i am bengalee,i was told not only but trolled for being like sadhu,dhongi and all that stuff.but by god"s grace i m able to quit this bad habit.and i also i think if whole world can stop eating non veg the violence will gradually decrease, we will be able to peacefully.
From what I understand, B and C vitamins are water soluble. So, even if you take B12 tablet that is 100 times daily value once a month, you should be good I think. Always consult your doctor and get B12 checked once every few years when you get your blood work done.
B12 comes originally from plants...animals eat plants hence have vit b12. The soils have been depleted of vit b12 as there is no rest period between harvests. I totally agree that your body feels lighter if you avoid meat.
Hats off to you as you've explained very clearly and you were very calmer while explaining as most of the videos of vegetarians are in anger mode only. You've tried different approach in explaining about veg and non-veg food and I really liked it. It was very informative. I am also trying to be a Vegetarian but I couldn't completely turn vegetarian because: 1. There is no alternative for omega 3, omega 6, Vitamin nutrition in veg food except in pills which is costly and I don't know whether we can take pills (I don't know whether it is good for the human body). The above nutrition is only available in fish meat and in eggs. 2. Energy does not absorp faster in veg food compared to non-veg food which absorps energy faster in the body. 3. I'm just concerned about girls periods. Girls need iron nutrition after periods to recover blood in the body. This nutrition is available in mutton meat. Iron nutrition is available in veg food but not as much as compared to non-veg food (Mutton meat). Could you please make the videos considering all the above points which I have mentioned above. It would be really helpful and useful for all the people.
Your body is designed to have meat once in awhile and more vegetables. When she says meat takes time to digest. The logic just means few meat meals can suffice energy for long time. But it does not mean you completely leav meat
Also you just explained yourself why we cannot be vegetarians. If your body needs these vitamins why can't it have them from natural resources? Exactly. Meaning your body must have a balance of meat and vegetables
Also she lost me at vitamins. I've seen vegetarians complain of low energy. And relying on these. They then take man made vitamins instead of getting their nutrition from their natural environment that is meat
Im on a similar journey. I eat wholesome balanced indian meals, but I feel ravenously hungry all the time. I feel torn.. i dont desire non veg but my body is starving. Has anyone gone thru this? I really dont want to eat non veg. Please help
I was like you ..left non veg abt 7years back n never look back.Though my health is a bit challenged with recovery from muscle injury.Feeling light n clear...that's the feeling
I was so low today...and finding way to loose weight...i came across your videos...now m feeling really gud...and motivated to start my journey too❤❤❤ love you dear...
What about Omega 3 ? I'm vegetarian for 4 years and I don't take any separate supplements. They are costly. Recently I've started taking Whey Protein in trail basis as I couldn't get enough protein from normal diet.

Anita I am non vegetarian.. I read lots of data regarding it's bad effects but I am more like addicted to it's taste right now also my mouth is watery.. I love it.. But I don't want to force myself
I am a vegetarian.befor one year I realized that everyone tells that this world is run by love and my thought was that animals are more innocent than a humen and its true..but if i eat an animal that means i didn't love that animal and now the quistion is how could i would be able to love a human in this world ? The answer is 'we cant love a person or any other human being if we cant love an animal.🙏 Radhe radhe..
Like your content as always my one request to you to try Chinese Shaolin Qigong meditation technique....I was daily motivated by watching your 108 times Surya namaskar video... Little bit concerned about Shaolin qigong meditation technique... Why don't you try
I am completely vegetarian and I am more fit as compared to my non vegetarian friends, I don't think so that non vegetarian food are required to make good body.
I am a non vegetarian but from childhood i didnt like having non veg food much even though my family belonged to a diet of non veg food on daily basis. My bf is a vegetarian, and now because of him we started having more vegetarian food, and now i dont like having non veg food much. Once in a blue moon i have but that too in a lesser quantity. I also observed having less desire of having non veg food
Excellent video, (are you vegan, or what kind of vegetarian?) I've been thinking of trying vegetarian life; but unsure how to get adequate nutrition (in Northern Canada 🇨🇦, no garden for 7-8 months/ year... & higher prices of imported vegies) . Can you recommend any books for a beginner basic/minimalist vegetarian diet (for lower income people, who can not grow their own) ? I wish I had your energy 👍
The energy is already in you my friend, you just need to see it ☺️ sending you love! Hmmm, let me think about this - maybe this deserves a video - how vegetarians can get all the required protein daily!
I stopped eating non-vegetarian food six months ago and lost 30kgs and reversed my type II diabetes on carnivore. For some odd reason I´m supposed to believe that I´m odd ....LOL I´m now very very jolly happy and doan miss any vegetables or anything that contains carbs/toxins, (natural and synthetic), herbicides, fungicides, especially those which are designed in a lab. The human body absorbs meat nutrients before it gets to the colon however, vegetable fibers, etc. just rots in your colon. Plants are living beings that are vital to this planets environment. Vegetarians don´t know how the cycle of life works ....just ask one, and they´ll prove it to you.
I hv lost 45 kgs weight at age of 58 due to my health issues. But i twice a week wish to hv chicken or 1 pc of fish or 2 eggs. Along with fast walking step by step and then started thrice a week yoga and meditation. And trice a day 45 mnts of body exercises at home only.
I workout 4to5 days a week and I need sufficient protein along with adequate essential amino acids but problem is most vegan foods don't have all the essential amino acids in large quantities to ensure protein bio availability for the body. That's why animal protein is absolutely necessary for me. Also vegan diet can cause certain mineral and vitamin deficiencies. I came across a channel KasumiKriss who went vegan for 3 years and her menstrual cycle completely stopped in her 20s. That's why she stopped being vegan. Vegan diet is impractical for most people except monks and nuns who have decide to leave their body.
Aaa Anita you nailed it ... 🔥 What aa video 🤯🤯the transition the script and final you superb quality .... I think it's Cemara man Husband tho Anitha.. 🤣
Hi I love your videos . It does Inspire to go veg etc . I did your surya namaskar challenge and did loose a lot of weight it was better than going to the gym .i am vegetarian during shravan and navratri .but rest of the greed sets it .😁😁Vegetarian I am trying . Thank you. For the help . In making all this a way of life .
This video resonated so much with me. I was exactly like and for very similar reasons, stopped eating non- veg. Its been close to year I fully stopped. I havnt started myself Veg until few months, though I started on this journey to cut down non-veg since last 2-3 years. It was a slow transition for me after I set my intention in 2020. First year, i switched to Pescatarian and 1 special dish givig my mind and senses enough time to stop the occasional craving. Its soo fascinating to see all the cravings went away, and last 1 year, never even thought of even those special dishes. As you said, slowly our awareness to other living being rises up. I am also practicing art of living meditation since last few years. Its not like you have to be a veg to do yogic practices, its the other way around where our body slowly starts teling us whats right for us and starts gently rejecting whats not ideal for us. This video was such a validation.
what a contradiction - meat has vitB12 but makes you feel lethargic - but as a vegetarian you consume plant based vitB12 to get more energy - sometime wrong here right
I liked your videos, just wanted to know as you are on this spiritual path like yoga and meditation, being a vegetarian, do you get sixth sense very often, when we stay connected to nature, we usually get such things, may be speak about this, if you have any such experience
Hey Anita , that again was a wonderful video, i really wanted to know about your spiritual journey, how did it happen and all , can u throw some light on aspects like when one among the partners is on spiritual path and the other is not , I mean how to bring the sense of togetherness in such couple.
Hi :) my journey started when I met Swami Nandkishore ji, my spiritual guide 🙏🏽 Haha, I was the one in the relationship who was not on the path, whereas nikhil was :) he was loving and patient with me, and here we are today :) Maybe we’ll make a video about this someday.. :)
@@AnitaBokepallithank you for the reply Anita, and yes please do make a video , i feel it can really help people to have a profound relationship among partners being in spiritual path, rather than a chaotic one.
We do not deserve to eat non-vegetarian food. For our happiness in getting better taste we do not even have any right to kill animals. Only one will give their life only when he loves you more than himself.
If India becomes pure vegetarian then India becomes completely non veg exporter, this is the truth that in India no one says buffalo, that's why it is exported
@@deepadileep4789 You can do Yoga or any Strength Exercises. Also, have a Balanced Diet. You will automatically reduce fat & increase Muscle and Strength (without major difference in weight) I hope this helps😃
You completely became vegan?? No dairy.. no egg ?? Please tell how to get vit B12 from vegetarian source.... My mom became vegetarian 3 years back and she ended up having severe vit B12 deficiency which lead many health problems...

Can u share which meditation programs u enrolled & from where? If u can share the link it will be immensely helpful. Also share ur daily routine vlog. Would love to follow ur path. Plz share the link where I can enroll for yogic programs. U are helping someone follow ur path. Thanks a lot.
Sure.. just come and do the Online Breath & Meditation Workshop with me 😊. Leave your details here to be informed about the next one:

I have been a strict vegetarian for ethical reasons for over 30 years (I'm 65) and have been in much better health ever since, I'm in very good health. I never make publicity for this, I only tell it if I really have to, and I never critisize non vegetarians as this is completely counter-productive. I hope to become vegan asap...
Wow! And yes, the last thing we want is to criticise and create bad energy. People can learn themselves by looking at people like you
I am a vegetarian by birth. Now i turned to be a vegan.. I don't like to make harm on animals.. Like your cannel very much❤
Same
Its been 1.4 year since left non veg food and exactly same I feel as you. I feel very light and energetic and pure. Best decision I have ever taken.
I really needed this. I am a 17 year old who has completed 1 whole year of being a vegetarian and I feel proud that I did because it was not so easy.I quit nonveg forcefully because I am against animal abuse. My family is non vegetarian and living in this environment sometimes tends to get challenging for my senses but sometimes I do feel like I crave nonveg food sometimes and think will I have to control myself for the rest of my life ?or the cravings will go away on it's own.
They will go away in their own I think :) you can try making dishes with raw jackfruit - kathal - it is a great and healthy substitute for chicken :)
Your body needs the nutrients in animal foods. Why do you think you have those “cravings”? It’s because you’re lacking in several nutrients, most of the time they’re vitamin B12, iron/ferritin, vitamin K2, a lack of protein/amino acids, and lots more. You will suffer in the long run if you keep this up. Please stop avoiding animal foods.
What about people born vegetarian? Food cravings are not usually a sign of deficiency. I never crave meat because I've never eaten it.
After a certain period ur body stops craving meat.
I was a hardcore nonveg, had to stop chicken at 14 cuz it gave me painful periods. Continued eating fish and eggs till 18.
Later I had to live away from home and my mess served only veg food. It's been 2 years since I've been a complete vegetarian. My family eats non veg in front of me yet I don't feel any desire to eat it.
Vegitable juice
3types sprouts
Nuts
Help to good helth
You are totally right I always feel lethargic after eating non veg
You just gave me new perspective and reason to quit non veg
You just brainwashed me to live a healthier life
Thank you so much DIDI 🙏🙏🙏
yes i am also turned vegetarian 3years ago as i took oath on my higher secodary exam days that ill quit my fav things ever to score better results and start doing yoga..it was initially very hard as i am bengalee,i was told not only but trolled for being like sadhu,dhongi and all that stuff.but by god"s grace i m able to quit this bad habit.and i also i think if whole world can stop eating non veg the violence will gradually decrease, we will be able to peacefully.
I am bengali too and I can feel youu😭😭
From what I understand, B and C vitamins are water soluble. So, even if you take B12 tablet that is 100 times daily value once a month, you should be good I think. Always consult your doctor and get B12 checked once every few years when you get your blood work done.
B12 comes originally from plants...animals eat plants hence have vit b12.
The soils have been depleted of vit b12 as there is no rest period between harvests.
I totally agree that your body feels lighter if you avoid meat.
Hats off to you as you've explained very clearly and you were very calmer while explaining as most of the videos of vegetarians are in anger mode only. You've tried different approach in explaining about veg and non-veg food and I really liked it. It was very informative. I am also trying to be a Vegetarian but I couldn't completely turn vegetarian because:
1. There is no alternative for omega 3, omega 6, Vitamin nutrition in veg food except in pills which is costly and I don't know whether we can take pills (I don't know whether it is good for the human body). The above nutrition is only available in fish meat and in eggs.
2. Energy does not absorp faster in veg food compared to non-veg food which absorps energy faster in the body.
3. I'm just concerned about girls periods. Girls need iron nutrition after periods to recover blood in the body. This nutrition is available in mutton meat. Iron nutrition is available in veg food but not as much as compared to non-veg food (Mutton meat).
Could you please make the videos considering all the above points which I have mentioned above. It would be really helpful and useful for all the people.
Your body is designed to have meat once in awhile and more vegetables.
When she says meat takes time to digest. The logic just means few meat meals can suffice energy for long time.
But it does not mean you completely leav meat
Also you just explained yourself why we cannot be vegetarians.
If your body needs these vitamins why can't it have them from natural resources?
Exactly.
Meaning your body must have a balance of meat and vegetables
Also she lost me at vitamins.
I've seen vegetarians complain of low energy. And relying on these.
They then take man made vitamins instead of getting their nutrition from their natural environment that is meat
Sprouts is the natural source of B12
Im on a similar journey. I eat wholesome balanced indian meals, but I feel ravenously hungry all the time. I feel torn.. i dont desire non veg but my body is starving. Has anyone gone thru this? I really dont want to eat non veg. Please help
Me too
I stopped eating non veg when I started reading Geeta 3 yeary back
Spirituality really confronts you to the reality or by the books or yoga etc
I was like you ..left non veg abt 7years back n never look back.Though my health is a bit challenged with recovery from muscle injury.Feeling light n clear...that's the feeling
How did you lose desire? I am not able to...
Doing yoga and meditation and immersing yourself in those moments - this brought the change for me :)
@@AnitaBokepalli thank you for replying
I had a blast watching the video. It was informative and fun. Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks so much Anita. Beautiful video. I switched to vegetarian diet a couple of years ago and I feel so good and different
❤️❤️
I was so low today...and finding way to loose weight...i came across your videos...now m feeling really gud...and motivated to start my journey too❤❤❤ love you dear...
Hi! thank you for sharing this 🌻
Love it Anita, I personally switched to vegetarian couple of years ago. Everything you said in this video resonates with my lifestyle too.
What about Omega 3 ?
I'm vegetarian for 4 years and I don't take any separate supplements. They are costly. Recently I've started taking Whey Protein in trail basis as I couldn't get enough protein from normal diet.
Flax seeds powder ...try using it....rich in omega 3
Thank u for the b12 suggestion. Wonderful video btw ♥

Amazing video ❤. I am watching 2nd video on this channel 1st about Surya Namaskar and 2nd this one. And both videos are superb. Loved it !!
I can totally relate same with me i stopped eating and never felt like going back 2024 i am a complete vegetarian
Me bhi non - vegetarian tha 😂 par ek dum se khana bnd kr diya dec 2021 me.mujhe lgta h dec me kuch h jo log bnd kr dete h khana 😂
Hahaha LOL
Anita I am non vegetarian.. I read lots of data regarding it's bad effects but I am more like addicted to it's taste right now also my mouth is watery.. I love it.. But I don't want to force myself
I am so grateful to watch your videos. All the videos are really good and also Love your thoughts and way you explain everything. Thanks a lot,😊
I am a vegetarian.befor one year I realized that everyone tells that this world is run by love and my thought was that animals are more innocent than a humen and its true..but if i eat an animal that means i didn't love that animal and now the quistion is how could i would be able to love a human in this world ?
The answer is 'we cant love a person or any other human being if we cant love an animal.🙏
Radhe radhe..
Absolutely love your content Anita ❤️
Like your content as always my one request to you to try Chinese Shaolin Qigong meditation technique....I was daily motivated by watching your 108 times Surya namaskar video... Little bit concerned about Shaolin qigong meditation technique... Why don't you try
I am completely vegetarian and I am more fit as compared to my non vegetarian friends, I don't think so that non vegetarian food are required to make good body.
Same , after meditating for a year now , i no longer see non veg the way i did years ago , but I'm worried about my protein intake.
The lamest argument I used to get was " even plants have life" c considering how plants are non sentinent things
Let us know how do you manage protein intake from vegetarian source. We are in very much expection
This clear my mind about foods. GReat presentation it enables me to watch the video effortlessly. A big like❤.
Same here, that feels so relieved and amazing 😍👌👌
Indeed!!
New way of video making! Really good ☺️
Thank you! Tried something new this time 😁
This is so informative ❤
Great. Shakahar is the best 👌💐😊
I went from vegetarian to non vegetarian because i could not thrive physically and mentally. But the video was very entertaining none the less
I am a non vegetarian but from childhood i didnt like having non veg food much even though my family belonged to a diet of non veg food on daily basis. My bf is a vegetarian, and now because of him we started having more vegetarian food, and now i dont like having non veg food much. Once in a blue moon i have but that too in a lesser quantity. I also observed having less desire of having non veg food
Excellent video, (are you vegan, or what kind of vegetarian?) I've been thinking of trying vegetarian life; but unsure how to get adequate nutrition (in Northern Canada 🇨🇦, no garden for 7-8 months/ year... & higher prices of imported vegies) . Can you recommend any books for a beginner basic/minimalist vegetarian diet (for lower income people, who can not grow their own) ?
I wish I had your energy 👍
The energy is already in you my friend, you just need to see it ☺️ sending you love!
Hmmm, let me think about this - maybe this deserves a video - how vegetarians can get all the required protein daily!
Mam what about dairy products??
Do you think they come, without harming 🐄 cows!!!!
I stopped eating non-vegetarian food six months ago and lost 30kgs and reversed my type II diabetes on carnivore. For some odd reason I´m supposed to believe that I´m odd ....LOL I´m now very very jolly happy and doan miss any vegetables or anything that contains carbs/toxins, (natural and synthetic), herbicides, fungicides, especially those which are designed in a lab. The human body absorbs meat nutrients before it gets to the colon however, vegetable fibers, etc. just rots in your colon. Plants are living beings that are vital to this planets environment. Vegetarians don´t know how the cycle of life works ....just ask one, and they´ll prove it to you.
Hi, I like your videos.
Can you please make a video on how did you start your meditation and how it is progressing now?
Hey! Do check out one of my previous videos here - I talk about my meditation habit there, it’s called “I meditated twice a day fir 30 days”
I like ur simplicity n ur way of living ....lov u 🥰😍
I hv lost 45 kgs weight at age of 58 due to my health issues. But i twice a week wish to hv chicken or 1 pc of fish or 2 eggs. Along with fast walking step by step and then started thrice a week yoga and meditation. And trice a day 45 mnts of body exercises at home only.
Can you pls explain what kind of course you taken for meditation?
I just feel that how japneese people are so humble and live longer after eating meat, fish ?
Same
I workout 4to5 days a week and I need sufficient protein along with adequate essential amino acids but problem is most vegan foods don't have all the essential amino acids in large quantities to ensure protein bio availability for the body. That's why animal protein is absolutely necessary for me. Also vegan diet can cause certain mineral and vitamin deficiencies. I came across a channel KasumiKriss who went vegan for 3 years and her menstrual cycle completely stopped in her 20s. That's why she stopped being vegan. Vegan diet is impractical for most people except monks and nuns who have decide to leave their body.
Aha! You are a gem🥰❤️ Anithaji, really missing your Road to Greatness mission😌😌 When will you back with a blast over it💥💥 Heaps of ❤️💙 from Kerala💕🥰😍

Thank you. For the help . In making all this a way of life .
Please make video on protein sources for vegetarian
Is nikhil and you still together
This video resonated so much with me. I was exactly like and for very similar reasons, stopped eating non- veg. Its been close to year I fully stopped. I havnt started myself Veg until few months, though I started on this journey to cut down non-veg since last 2-3 years. It was a slow transition for me after I set my intention in 2020. First year, i switched to Pescatarian and 1 special dish givig my mind and senses enough time to stop the occasional craving. Its soo fascinating to see all the cravings went away, and last 1 year, never even thought of even those special dishes. As you said, slowly our awareness to other living being rises up.
I am also practicing art of living meditation since last few years. Its not like you have to be a veg to do yogic practices, its the other way around where our body slowly starts teling us whats right for us and starts gently rejecting whats not ideal for us. This video was such a validation.
Sprouts provide vitamin b12
what a contradiction - meat has vitB12 but makes you feel lethargic - but as a vegetarian you consume plant based vitB12 to get more energy - sometime wrong here right
That's great
I'm pure non veg in which i should have something in any meal . Will try to avoid it.
Superb content anita.
You have a good cameraman!
Will let him know☺️
I turned pure vegetarian like 3 years ago cause of religious believe ( I'm a hindu) and my love for animals
Never been more proud
I liked your videos, just wanted to know as you are on this spiritual path like yoga and meditation, being a vegetarian, do you get sixth sense very often, when we stay connected to nature, we usually get such things, may be speak about this, if you have any such experience
Watching this video itself is like a meditation
Can you eat eggs as vegetarian?
beautiful story!
Hey Anita , that again was a wonderful video, i really wanted to know about your spiritual journey, how did it happen and all , can u throw some light on aspects like when one among the partners is on spiritual path and the other is not , I mean how to bring the sense of togetherness in such couple.
Hi :) my journey started when I met Swami Nandkishore ji, my spiritual guide 🙏🏽
Haha, I was the one in the relationship who was not on the path, whereas nikhil was :) he was loving and patient with me, and here we are today :)
Maybe we’ll make a video about this someday.. :)
@@AnitaBokepallithank you for the reply Anita, and yes please do make a video , i feel it can really help people to have a profound relationship among partners being in spiritual path, rather than a chaotic one.
Respect 🙏❤️
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Good choice 🤝
Your videos are very interesting and informative :)
We do not deserve to eat non-vegetarian food. For our happiness in getting better taste we do not even have any right to kill animals. Only one will give their life only when he loves you more than himself.
Dear anita
Very happy for you. God bless you and nikhil
Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Love your videos
If India becomes pure vegetarian then India becomes completely non veg exporter, this is the truth that in India no one says buffalo, that's why it is exported
