Reduce your diet slowly, gradually. During this period of gradual reduction, you must practice physical exercises and prāṇāyāma. This will maintain your muscles. Otherwise, your muscles will shorten and you will feel very weak. Therefore, stretching postures and prāṇāyāma will give you more energy, clear decisions, and clear vision. In Hinduism, there are so many fasting days. There are many days for fasting, so that almost no day is left for eating. On Monday, you fast for Lord Śiva. On Tuesday, you fast for Hanumānjī. On Wednesday, you fast for Gaṇeśa. On Thursday, you fast for Gurudeva. On Friday, you fast for the Divine Mother. On Saturday, you fast for Sattva, and on Sunday you fast for Sūrya Nārāyaṇa, the sun. There is fasting on the full moon, fasting on the new moon, fasting on the eleventh day of the lunar cycle (Ekādaśī), fasting on the dark night, and again fasting on the new moon. Then come various other festivals: fasting for brothers, fasting for a husband, and fasting for a sister. And one plus point: eating for the wife. The practice is meant so that your energy remains. And on the fasting day, you get very rich food, because that becomes a prasāda, and prasāda is always sweet and fat, like ghee. That is what our brain needs. Our brain needs fat and sugar. Therefore, to reduce sugar too much is not good. Thank you. Recording location: Hungary, Vep, Summer seminar
