Why did you start following the Satvic lifestyle?
Just after a few months of my marriage, I started gaining weight, it happened because of my wrong lifestyle and eating habits. I had gained 15 kilos in a very short span. Soon, it started taking a toll on my mental health as well. I used to feel frustrated and lethargic. I went about trying many fad diets and consulting various dietitians in vain. I also watched many YouTube videos. But, I was neither able to understand and trust any of the information, nor was I getting any results. Once I started gaining weight other aspects of my health also started deteriorating one by one. I was diagnosed with fibroid, my periods started fluctuating, my face started looking dull and lifeless and I was losing a ton of hair, every day. All this made me feel helpless. Amidst my search for solutions and diet plans on YouTube, I came across Subah's videos. After watching the video, I was assured that whatever she said was completely true and I immediately felt motivated to follow her advice.
What did you start doing? Tell us about your healing journey.
First and the most practical thing I decided to do was intermittent fasting. Only after a day, I could feel the difference in my body. It was enough to motivate me to follow the complete Satvic lifestyle. Thenceforth, I completely changed my diet plan, and cut out all the junk, processed and packaged food from my diet. After that, I also gradually started sunbathing. (Note from Satvic Movement: fasting is not for pregnant or breastfeeding women, children under 14 or anyone who is severely underweight.)
What are the benefits you received by following the Satvic lifestyle?
Due to my weight gain, I have gotten into the habit of checking my weight every day. Losing weight had become my life's primary goal. I was working everyday to get back in shape and feel healthy again. For a very long time I had this dream that one day my weight will finally show less on the scale. And, just within a month of following the Satvic lifestyle it came true. I lost 10 kilos in 1 month. I could feel the improvement in the quality of my skin and hair. My hair fall decreased drastically and my periods also regularized. It was at the end of this first month when I had my birthday and I couldn't help but post before-&-after pictures of myself on social media to celebrate this achievement. I feel much more energetic now and there is rarely any tiredness throughout the day.
Apart from the physical changes, have you noticed any mental or spiritual changes?
We are jains and we are already aware of the food habits that our culture has taught us. Like eating after 2 hours of sunrise, eating the last meal of the day before sunset. We had all this knowledge but it was somewhere buried under all the superficial facade of modern knowledge. Or, maybe somewhere along the way we started attaching those habits to religion and did not care to understand the reason and logic behind it. However, when Subah explained the same knowledge and explained the logic that it works on, it was like a rediscovery of the truth and suddenly everything made sense. Now, more than ever I feel connected to our culture's age old traditions and rituals.
To anyone who wants to lose weight or simply feel healthier: For me, fad diets never worked. Following the Satvic lifestyle with patience is what worked for me.
