You speak like a Bodhisattva...Winter season is my favourite.One tends to sometimes go overboard in eating in this season,only to regret later on.Because gathering extra weight is easy with enjoyable things to eat,but shedding extra pounds is a painful process...Can you also suggest as to how to keep an increased level of body heat through winters while eating food within healthy limits,I mean if you know of any formula or food for a vegetarian.I'm sure you must have picked up some such knowledge with your stint in the Indian culture. One of the tips I picked up for a healthier living and which I am trying my best to practice is to stop eating as soon as my body clock tells me its intake requirement point is reached.
