I have actually followed the satvic movement and the life style they recommend. I will tell you something it is not possible for a working women to follow it to entirity . I failed miserably after a week . But i only took what was possible for me to follow, like intermittent fasting , including fresh fruits and salads (did not worry much about organic) ate majorly home cooked food . worked out regularly. And i saw amazing results. Protein la ks majorly in satvik diet i also consume whey protein while in the diet. My point is take what suits you and leave what does not . Again a great video Sir , thabk you❤

[@raufkhan6910]

I totally agree with you

[@shrav8846]

I agree .. I'm also working and used to eat lot of processed food. After following satvic lifestyle (80%) i feel more healthy and energetic. Better to try completely by attending the workshop then give an opinion. They explained everything in detail. And you will get answers for your questions (mostly). And ofcourse the person who suffers from having bad food can realise the impact of healthy food. And in city, I get all vegetables I need

It is a matter of choice. If you want to be in a meditative state, then we've to embrace its exclusive protocols. If not, follow whatever you had been doing so long, but life will be the same. If you want to change, try what they are saying for say 6 months to 1yr, see the change, then make a wise decision. Nobody is compelling anything. Follow whatever you can but still continue your practice, that will give you enough clarity from within. We don't need to rely on external sources for proof. You are the best proof!

[@suptiparnapaul2996]

Many people have come to demarcate Satvic principles as standing in opposition to modern/ Western principles of diet and Medicine. As a doctor, I can vouch that I've never been taught about Diet & nutrition all through my MBBS career, which is actually counterintuitive. The fact I have come to appreciate about the Satvic Movement (and I love it by now) is that they don't give you clear black & white rules- they give you principles & ideas, and allow you to modify them as per your own conditions/ convenience in lifestyle. I do agree that they don't use a very scientific jargon - the terminology they use is metaphorical, and to some, might sound silly/ unscientific. But going deeper, i would say, keep your scientific eye alive and yet 'bhawnao pe jaao'. When they say "eat food that is Alive", they mean it to be Fresh, unprocessed, unfragmented, not going into the 'scientific' arguments of when is an "organism" alive and when it is dead. LIVING and DEAD are just metaphorical terms they are attributing to 'food'- not to 'organisms'. And thereby a biscuit is 'dead', but a freshly baked roti is ALIVE. I understood the actual principles that they uphold not through their regular videos, but in a podcast they did with Dr Pal. One can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYjKhK2vhZ11b6csi=1WT1ughW361fMV6i

Eating organic is different than eating right way . Someone can eat organic vegetables in cooking oil like majority of Indians do . Many health experts claim I should not cook oil much ,oil is not given from the nature . Humans are drinking animal milk when it is not made for humans These are the things which take us on big diseases . Oil ,sugar , and processed food is not given by nature. Humans were most healthy when they were hunter gathers ( what I have studied) when they used to eat meat ,fruits , vegetables and grains were small part of human life . We are eating very less raw food , cooking veggies make nutrition more bio available but it comes with disadvantage.

Dr Mike's podcast recently had a guest who said that you can sum up healthy eating in seven words: "eat diverse, not too much, mostly plants", you could talk for days about the nuances here and there, of course, but in this game of oversimplifying concepts a lot can be lost in translation, I think that today's example pretty much says it all. Great video as always, cheers!

[@krishashok]

Thank you!

[@mahuaghoshroy7093]

Wow ! That last line was zappy ! Absolutely agree. We are going to have a pair of cute ,flustered siblings out there today. Yes, they should take care of holier than thou, purer than others attitude. Remember that the pickles your grandmother made is also processed food, and has too much sodium too, apart from being finger licking good . Or maybe this holier than thou attitude is required to appeal to the urban, rich, ill informed elite or those aspiring to join that club.

[@krishashok]

I can't argue with a "to get to people, you need to keep it simple" strategy and to be honest, if being this strict about food works for the people that follow them and benefit from it, it's great for them! But at the same time, it needs to be said that it will not work for everyone

Thank you!! I used to blindly believe their videos and follow their page ever since I joined insta... They make videos which unnecessarily put you on a guilt trip. But thanks to your myth debunking videos which have enlightened me.

I dont think you should blindly believe any single individual (me included)

[@VishnupriyaYnk]

Very well said sir. Many of their practices or ideas can be afforded only by luxurious upper middle class community... Not for a common working middle class people... You are very logical in analysing and were true to your heart in sharing your insights and this makes more sense to common public. Keep up the great work.

[@anvithbabu6119]

Satvik food is not sustainable, i started and stopped it as i had more cravings and i was feeling weak, but i didn't unfollow their channel, i really think most people might have stopped that diet and forgot to unfollow their channel so is the reason for their massive following 😂

I am really out of words how to thank you for actually describing point by point about foods. I even started to follow some of the things which i saw on social media which are actually pseudo science or fact less science. Thanks to you now i understand some real science behind foods. Please keep on doing this. 😊

[@krishashok]

Thank you!

[@sapodilla25]

Thank you!! You are probably the last rational, sensible person left on FoodTube!! Insistence on farm fresh food is alright if you have the money and labour to bring farm to table. Most of us have money, time and resources only to hop into our nearest grocery store and hope we are making some good choices. I eat homemade meals 90 percent of the time because I like cooking and I like my grandmother's recipes.

[@krishashok]

Thank you! If you are eating home-cooked food, that is more than half the battle won already.

[@sankalp8]

Well i am a follower of both. Your approach makes more sense to me as i find logic in it whereas satvic movement tends to use a more traditional approach (read ancient) now whether it was really ancient or while practicing through generations it evolved dont know for sure. For us as consumers all of these are buffet spread and will take a bit of all so that its well balanced ;) After all no single form of practice is sufficient eg mixed martial arts. Just Karate or just Judo :-) Keep making these wonderful videos so that there is more options for us to choose ;)

[@sahanarao5327]

Whatever u told is about practicality. Totally right. But what they told is the ideal case. Its best if we could reach that ideal state. Gradually it should be possible(100's of years🙂) But we can atleast try maximum to eat healthy whatever however possible. I think that is the idea behind Satvic movement. One small point May be u missed about " highly processed" food. RIce, grains dont fall under highly processed. As they are minimally processed.

[@chauhanshivangi]

One should increase intake of fruits and veggies. Since no one can deny that satvic movement adds a lot of nonsense to it and sells.

[@KaalAmba]

Really appreciate this nuanced review, and your consistent inclusion of cost and access when speaking about nutrition!

[@sindhugururaj1582]

Sincerely loved the video. Way to go, I want you to oneday come face to face for discussion with Satvic movement and hv a healthy debate. Saying the same set of limited statement again n again won't change the reality of a billions of PPL. Kudos to you. I was fed up hearing to the same parrot like sentences. Watch any video, interview of theirs, there is nothing fresh on the table. Five standard statements n that's it.

[@KesarKitchen]

Doing the world a favor, 1 video at a time. I hope the people of that channel, which i hadnt even heard of till now (granted i dont live in India) see your take and engage in some self reflection. The 'health junkies' in the US aren't much different. Extremism of any kind never serves anyone. Thank you for being the voice of sanity, balance and reason.

[@sreekanthbhargav]

@@itiswhatitis-yes I understand that perspectives on the Satvik movement can vary, and we should acknowledge the positive impact it has had on many individuals. However, it’s important to recognize that not everyone’s experiences or views will align perfectly. Constructive dialogue and respect for differing opinions are crucial for a more inclusive conversation. It seems that this video might reflect a particular perspective that could be influenced by limited knowledge or a specific viewpoint. Engaging in a broader debate by inviting Satvik movement representatives and considering multiple viewpoints could provide a more balanced understanding.

[@sreekanthbhargav]

Criticizing or labeling such helpful channels based on a single perspective may lead to an incomplete view. Engaging in a broader discussion and considering multiple viewpoints can offer a more balanced understanding.

I have completed 6 courses of satvic movement, bought 4 books , bought few equipments and have been following them for more than a year now. While looking at them i always felt this is the only way , only after watching this video of yours i now realise that the diet is not sustainable for all, also i realise all the food we we leaving behind, never to include in our diet . Thanks for the perspective . I am thankful to both the satvic team and yourself for all your efforts to live a healthy life

[@anushreejain4911]

@krishashok please do research well. 1. We do not need food that lasts longer. processed food are incompatible with your body. As you mentioned about costs, why do you think polished food lasts longer? thats completely wrong. millets are never polished and look at their longevity 2. by referring to Food that has life, she obviously means the food before cooking. If you cook sprouts, after cooking it will be dead but it will assimilate in your body while non vegetarian food cannot give us life 3. just tell me one that around the world if burger is used to feed labour class, why not feed them with porridge and millets that are faster to cook and more healthier. Regarding longevity, the real question is why companies are not cooking food for the labour class daily? why do they want to feed cancer causing food to labour class. 4. Farm to table is not expensive at all. This is the reason PDS exists. People who consume grains and millets and do ample physical workout can be very healthy All your arguments are completely invalid and honestly very stupid.

Excellent take on these propagandists (you have been milder with your language). My personal take is that I can usually enjoy food that another human seems to be enjoying (even from other parts of the world). It is just our mind that creates villains about things that we are not familiar with, perhaps due to our biased upbringing.
