If we really went to change our food habits, we must do it with patience and perseverance. We have been used to certain kind of food for a long time – both our body and our mind may resent a change, unless it is made gradually.
In Yoga we believe in continued and repeated efforts, rather than enforced and strained processes. People who suddenly break their old conditioned habits, to become strict followers of a certain diet may face strong reactions.
As far as a change in diet is concerned, it is always advisable to make it gradually, until the desired standard of both quantity and quantity is achieved. We should stick to some simple changes in the beginning, and let time naturally tell us when to proceed further.
