Much awaited topic Kripal! Thank you for this.

[@devakikishan9588]

An excellent creative way to do Q&A while eating and shooting, I like the videos

[@ramit439]

Thank you for a very interesting Q&A Kripal. It's obvious that you have put together a format that is growing and becoming influential throughout India. If I may, I believe you are on the right track of continuing to build interest in GOTR throughout the country. Agreed that perhaps other countries may be a future possibility, but not for now. Well done to see you've punched through the 300K mark very nicely!!

Take care and please stay safe.

[@jayalakshmi.nsjaya1430]

Loved the fact your comments are honest......here as well as your episodes

[@pra007deep]

I like the way you review food. The specifics and details you use in English adds on to your review. Keep reviewing different kind of restaurants with wierd and great food options to make followers aware of the cuisines availability.

[@FoodLoversTV]

Will do

Thanks

[@mamidijayasree8804]

Hi sir I really love the way you respond to all the questions and your journey all way is so inspiring to all the people out there who want to go on their passion. Thank you for being inspiring all the other folks. Can you do a special video on intermediate fasting?

[@gomathisenthilkumar7215]

Just been into watching your food lovers tv on youtube.....my comment in one word, "Out Of The Box". The gestures, the way you carry yourself, the respect you give for food and to the people who involved into making of the same is simply superb. Hatsoff.Sir....keep up the goodwork. We are learning a lot in the perspective of etiquettes....also the compassion and respect one should have for food and the people behind making it. Best wishes for the upcoming venture. Last the best, your dharma "truth in food".....and your integrity will still take you to greater heiights. Be the same. God bless the team.

[@veerpatil7142]

Frankly speaking the kind of cinematography is fairly high than any other food channel

[@deekshabhatt2977]

I've loved your videos... especially 'Puranbhrama'... Must mention that you have so much clarity in your speech.... every word comes out so distinctly.... It's a pleasure listening to you....

[@niralpalwe]

I am one quiet follower of your journey kripalji, i love the contents you put up for me. I sincerely admire efforts you put into this, the way you handle every situation is flawless and elegant. I was avid viewer of highway on my plate, since they are not active anymore this channel has given me what i wanted. Good luck on journey ahead. One thing i like you to try and implement if possible is that focus on vegetarian food as such as you do with carnivore food. Good luck, i will definitely contribute to your journey.

[@sushmascookhouse1302]

[@artsmadz1427]

I’m so glad you mentioned IF works for you. It may not work for others. There’s really no scientific basis for a 16 hr. And IF everyday is also not good in the long run for the body. About 3 times a week should be good if generally people want to do it for longer hours. Hope people will now not run out there thinking they have to eat a whole chicken or fast for 16 hrs just because it worked for you. Sorry to be direct here. Just like you did your research, people should do their own and figure out what works best for them. And runners and people who do a lot of cardio do need a primarily carb heavy diet. For example 50% carbs with veges and some meat once in a while works best for me. Anyway thanks for sharing.
