I wanna wish everyone a Happy Indian Independence Day! It’s been 79 years since India has been free but we need to remember there is so much work that remains to be done. We must not stop. We need to improve our soft power and rise. I look back and think how disappointed revolutionaries like Bhagat Singh and Azad would be with the state of India today. There is so much work to be done. Remember that on an individual level, you have to improve your soft power to beat those narratives and on a societal level, we need to create an equitable India and world like our revolutionaries wanted. India isn’t free and we need to keep fighting. Long live Bharat!

Hey everyone, u/Eastern_Score_4038 and I are new moderators on this subreddit and we will help with cleaning up with the clutter on the subreddit and establishing the subs culture. The rules will be pretty chillax here but I want to go over some additional rules.

No larping as a woman and going on VindictaBrown/SplendidaBrown. That’s a woman’s only space and we don’t need to give them any attention. Breaking this rule is an immediate ban if you are caught posting there.

No women on this subreddit. We don’t need to cater to women on here like ABCDesis does. Enough said.

No shaming brown men for dating out. Brown men will be encouraged to date who they want. Also no defeatism around brown men dating.

Thats about it, anything else you wanna see. Let us know!

So I try to aim for $2 per mile bare minimum when accepting DD offers and it’s supposed to be the store and then to the customers house right but why when I put it on Apple Maps it comes out a lengthier route? I have noticed this on multiple offers? I’m not that upset because I usually do it on the way to somewhere or on the way home but it’s so confusing and I don’t like it. Is there anyway to fix this?

Most “nice guys” aren’t. A lot of men are trying to play off as a “nice guy” or “guy with a kind personality” when they actually aren’t. I see this exhibition in this subreddit where these guys are complaining about not getting relationships because all the girls go for “bad boys” or f boys.

There is this sense of entitlement. The “bad boys” usually aren’t the ones you see in movies like All American. Movies and irl experiences are completely different. The “bad boys” are deep down very self critical of everything they do. When you build discipline to do something like go to the gym and take care of your appearance, you are always thinking how you can make yourself better and these guys are always self critical. They aren’t the type to go up to go make fun of a fat person to their face. They might not want to date someone fat but they are extremely focused on themselves and their image. And also let’s say they are around the block, who is saying the women aren’t consenting to it? This is the issue I have with “nice guys”.

You are not entitled to anything. You haven’t put the work in and you believe you deserve something for “being nice”. It goes with people of any race and it starts with making it a problem on someone else. I’m not a perfect person myself but I’m always critical and questioning my own reality. I can do certain things better. Like if I’m on dates, I do get shy and it takes me some time to build up a convo or read her out and I can do better with that. You need to be questioning your own reality and you aren’t entitled to another person’s friendship or relationship. It is what it is but these same “nice guys” get mad at “bad boys” or “f bois” then they will blame anyone else but themselves. Also many of these nice guys that act a certain way to appease people don’t take accountability and even make their make their parents at a grown age do their chores.

This is just something I noticed based off how people talk in real life. You also need to have a niche. I personally can’t date a vegetarian or someone religious and that’s completely fine. Someone might not like my far left politics (a lot of ppl kinda like it) and that’s completely fine but no one should cater their whole persona to please someone. This is what “nice guys” are constantly doing while the “bad guy” or “f boi” are more clear about intentions. I just like to call this behavior out because it’s so doomer and defeatist. Men are struggling from all races right now and if you are in America, you have absolutely no excuse. Everything you do is self inflicted when it comes to making relationships. Also you need to understand your worth. You have to a male baddie to get a baddie yourself. It doesn’t work any other way.

This was just a thought I had and a trend I see other men are trying to do and it’s not just Desi men. A lot of men are trying to play off as a “nice guy” or “guy with a kind personality” when they actually aren’t. I see this exhibition in this subreddit where these guys are complaining about not getting relationships because all the girls go for “bad boys” or f boys.

I need help because I have money I won through sports betting (NFL, cricket, and soccer) and I don’t wanna go down that entire rabbit hole where I blow everything especially my work money. I have been a little bit wreckless and scared of seeing multiple digits in my bank account so I impulsively spent so much into QQQI (high dividend yield trust), precious metals (mostly gold and silver), JEPQ, and BTC. I put a good amount down on Spain winning the World Cup before the tournament (don’t ask how much) and now I want to drain my accounts again. My money is parked in 5 places asides from cash and I want to drain my bank account down to under 2000 again. I also don’t want to invest in defense companies such as PLTR, AI companies, or pharmaceuticals so anything I can do?

I saw another post about Desi unity and I wanted to talk about this myself. I don’t believe this concept of brown solidarity will ever be a thing. We are too divided and I feel that as long we have religion, the past historical conflict will spill into the present day. Hindus divide each other by caste so how can I believe they will stand up for another. No they wouldn’t, there is always bickering going on. People especially Desis are so stuck in their old ways and they want to continue to same stupid stuff. Anything we do is backwards like for example we go to the temple and we give sugar as a blessing or an offering from god. We stick with the same old concepts and we are resistant to change. We can’t stop fobs from coming here but as long as fobs come here, there will be a discourse on religion too. I’m antitheist (not just atheist) so I don’t believe in the concept of religion either. The Hindu and dharmic religions make us so weak with their concepts of ahimsa. We would rather fight with other Muslims or Indian Christians but we wouldn’t fight against whites at all. We wouldn’t fight for our self respect if they do anything to us.

My biggest irk of the brown community is most people try to sabotage you if you try to stray from the norms. I do so much but the brown community not only they barely listen but they also try to sabotage you. I don’t really care about boomers because they wouldn’t change but I’m talking about my own generation. I feel like I am talking to a wall when I speak to like 75% of South Asian men especially Patel men who I can never get along with for whatever reason. Patels would constantly try and sabotage me and pick on me. All my close South Asian male friends are either South Indian or Sri Lankan. The average South Asian man act like hot shots based off their career and they act like boomers. It’s a whatever. I have a problem when they try to sabotage or make snark remarks against me. I eat beef as a North Indian so they started a rumor that I’m being self hating as a Hindu when I posted a steak on an ig story. This idiot and his sister started so much drama over a steak I posted, like are you kidding me. I could be Malayali (I’m not) or indigenous (im not) but it’s a guy I barely talked to. I would be constantly picked on before and I wouldn’t have mind because high school drama is high school drama but they carry it on into adulthood. I don’t have to deal with the same from my white or other friends. That’s why I refused to have massive brown friend groups in college or after college. All these Patel cliques literally stay around each other and don’t know how to get out of their bubble. So when they saw my glow up, they would snark and change how they talk to me and I’m quite frank. But then they would criticize everything I do especially Patel men. They would say I’m not being loyal to my community when I eat red meat especially beef and they started unnecessary rumors to people i barely talked to and it somehow got to my mom. My mom could only say, “I tried explaining it but my son will never listen to me. As long as he doesn’t have it in my house, I don’t care anymore.” Also whenever I go on a date with white women or Latina women (I date anyone) they would have a problem with it because I’m not being race loyal. I would prefer to date another Indian person but one with very similar views which is hard to find. It’s other desi men that are doing this because they don’t put effort into themselves like I was. They might be smart but they suck in every other aspect. They would then try to sabotage me and one guy I knew even tried to snarky say hi while I was on a drinks date and he tried to embarrass me for something I did 6-7 years ago. Luckily she defended me but I pour my heart into helping my community and it’s just useless. I can tell kids and influence kids at the gym but most South Asians just don’t listen. They wanna hear you and then criticize your actions. I am at the point where I’m gonna just fully invest time into my myself and political issues because our community will never change. They are just static unfortunately.

I’m at the point where I’m sticking with my current friends and focusing on political issues because our community is a lost cause. South Asian men are complaining about not having a soccer player yet they want to stick with an unathletic sport like cricket or they want to stay vegetarian, that’s on you bro. I’m just a dumb sheep, you don’t have to come at my lifestyle and my choices. Now I’m fighting back because what has my community done for me? Genuinely most white guys or black guys I have met have pushed me to do better. Black guys helped me with my fashion sense and they don’t do the same sabotaging thing South Asian men do. In our community, people are so egotistical they think they know everything so I just think we are a hopeless cause. It’s not gonna improve without radical changes. I only started pushing back because I have other people sabotaging me. I don’t care about being that polite. I would order a steak out in front of my parents and pay for it even in front of their friends. Everything about what we do is regressive. These fat potbellied uncles with type 2 diabetes are brave to talk so much to other Indians but they will kiss their bosses feet or try arguing with you. I don’t think anything will ever change. I don’t know anyone’s opinion on this but what do you think? I am thinking of just sticking to political reform because I am giving up on this community changing. Kids are revolting against vegetarianism which I’m really proud of but overall, I am not very confident. I experience my own frustrations with my community but instead I am met with so much whataboutism and fake energy.

Capo Verde finished their match last week against Argentina where they took them into extra time and responded back after falling behind twice. Even though Capo Verde lost 3-2, their effort is so impressive. Many of us probably haven’t heard of Capo Verde until recently but why can’t India find 15-20 players that can play soccer. Is it that hard?

This is shameful, literally an embarrassment and the people running the country have no shame. My dad brags about India being able to field 5 T20 cricket teams. No one cares about cricket outside of South Asia really. It’s declining in Australia, New Zealand, and England. People brag about cricket when BCCI literally rigs to pitches to flat decks to favor their own batsmen. This is literally shameful. There are no fitness standards for even cricket. You guys seen Rohit Sharma. Even Sachin Tendulkar, Ajinkya Rahane, and Sunil Gavaskar look like people who never seen the weight room and these are the athletes that India brag about?

Cricket requires no physicality or athletic ability. Bowling and fielding are harder but India aren’t good in that department either. India is so determined to make themselves an international embarrassment and embarrass all of us on a global stage. Shoutout to Capo Verde. Shoutout to Geeta and Babita Phogat. Geeta and Babita can fight and had to show some physicality. Those are athletes. Not some 5’3 120 guys that haven’t seen a weight room. We have so many people and so much potential we waste on this stupid sport which no one really cares about. No other country is this obsessed over such a lame sport and these boomers are literally an embarrassment to South Asian representation. Tilak Varma and Abhishek Sharma provided more good representation that Sunil Tendulkar or Sunil Gavaskar ever have. This is just a shame.

View Poll

I want to start by saying this, you are only young once. You don’t want to waste your time being fat or playing video games as an Indian guy. You need to realize the racism and the stereotypes made by you. I tell this to my Asian best friends too. You only will live once and you need to go all out to defy those stereotypes.

When you are fat especially if you are an Indian guy, you will not be confident about your looks or appearance and you might be more self hating too. Listen, it’s not your fault because you have been given the wrong information about food and you have probably been facing academic pressures since you were born. People will not respect you or like your personality if you are fat or you don’t have a jawline.

I know what it’s like because I wasted my college years being skinny fat and fat. You have been misinformed and lied to and when you lose weight and prioritize yourself, your biggest ops will probably be your parents, aunties, and even your friends. Don’t eat all that sugar, ice cream, or those sugar foods. I don’t know what is the desi community and their obsession with sugar. It’s like Stockholm Syndrome because you like sugar and sugar doesn’t like you. Sugar is destroying your body, making you ugly, making you fat, and giving all these mental issues. I used to have panic attacks from my horrible diet and eating sugar, no kidding. Avoid sugar. I will be so mad at myself if I had anything with sugar. I want you guys to have same anger because it’s not good for you, you as a Desi guy do not need sugar. Let the other people take sugar, you need protein. You don’t need naan, you don’t need gol gupa, pani puri, or batura.

Once you are 10%-15% body fat, your life changes. People will treat you differently as a Desi guy. Your dating life will improve so much that you will stop victimizing yourself and your race. If you are a Desi guy with over 20%+ body fat, you are giving white supremacists and people who hate you ammo to make fun of you. If you are over 20% body fat as a Desi man, consider yourself obese and work to fix it please. There is not one brown athlete besides Arjun Nimmala that can break into an actual sport. It’s so shameful that mainlanders keep bragging about cricket when cricket does not even require any pure athleticism. The cricket team themselves plays soccer to keep themselves fit.

I am not trying to demonize anyone because I believe in collectivism but you guys need to take accountability for yourself. No one is going to give you any sympathy as a man. We are also very hyper competitive and you wouldn’t get the same support from your community as even white men will. I see countless Desis talking about cricket and we still aren’t learning from our mistakes. I kept talking about a huge elephant in the room but I wouldn’t address it. You are going to get older and busier, the time to get abs and shredded is now.

In my previous post, I went over all the bad foods South Asians usually tend to eat. For this post, I want to cover the foods we should be consuming as part of our diet. I try to eat from these food groups everyday and I have never felt so much better. I have more energy from this diet when I was mostly eating plants with rice all the time. If you eat around this in your diet, then you will never need to count another calorie. The goal is to be sustainable for a long period of time and these foods make me function on another level.

Eggs: Eggs are so good for you, don't let them lie to you about cholesterol. It has every vitamin in the book except Vitamin C so please do me a favor and eat at least 2-4 a day. I aim for 6 daily. If I don't feel like cooking anything, I would aim for 12 a day. This is the best and most complete protein source and don't separate the yolk from the egg white, most of the nutrients are in yolk. You eat eggs every single day, you aren't binging. There is collagen in here too so eat your Your brain wouldn't be craving sugars so eat your eggs and see how good you feel. Costco sells boiled and peeled eggs which cost $40c an egg, I don’t feel cooking today so I am eating 12 of these day personally. 

Salmon: This has the most Omega 3's. You wanna make sure you get wild caught salmon over farm raised salmon. I don't like salmon that much taste wise personally but I need it at least 2-3 times a week. This is good for your brain and fights inflammation. This is so good for your skin. You will have all these skincare products which aren't guaranteed to work but you wouldn't eat salmon? It doesn't taste the best to me personally but this food will make you feel good so please eat your salmon and eat it with the skin on and see good you feel. Inflammation is the cause of bad health and if you don't eat salmon, you are missing out. 

Red meat: Saturated fat this, saturated fat that. Cholesterol this, cholesterol that. I don't care about saturated fats or cholesterol personally if my food is nutrient dense. I eat easily 35g-40g of saturated fat a day. Red meat is a better protein than chicken and it has more nutrients than chicken. When you get grass fed red meat like beef, beef, or lamb then you are getting a really good bioavailable protein sources. Chickens eat corn, soy, and all that crap meat manufacturers give them to size them up. A cow or a buffalo grazes on grass. I know there are plenty of Hindus here so try bison. Bison is leaner and has more nutrients than beef. Beef is tastier but eating bison is better for you even though I like beef. If any idiots in our community say you are eating the family of a cow, they are stupid and they want another excuse to be mediocre idiots. If they say a bison is a cow, they are stupid. Don’t listen to these idiots in our community. Eat your bison and see how you good feel. If after all this, you don’t wanna eat red meat then fine go eat your chicken. It’s better than all that gunk Beyond meat, soy, and all that processed protein bars. I try to get 12-16 ounces of animal protein a day as a man.

Beef liver: This is natures multivitamin and it is significant more nutrient dense than eggs. Warning, this doesn’t taste good and you wanna limit yourself to 4-5 oz a week or else you can suffer from vitamin A poisoning. This has choline which is good for your brain and everything in this is good for you. If anyone says they would rather eat two popsicles of those lime bars before it’s 80 calories, they are a fool. Don’t fall for all this calories this calories that stuff. You will not overeat with discipline and eating the right foods. You will not need a multivitamin if you eat this. I used to eat this every morning, I would just put salt on it and then swallow it. It doesn’t taste good but it makes you feel alive. 

Carrots and tomatoes: These are your beta cartenoids and will make your skin glow. We went over retinol above but you need some fiber. When you eat carrots, you are actually chewing your food instead of eating all that rice. Don’t put your carrots a smoothie to drink it, eat. Tomatoes are a good source of vitamin C and they are tasty to me. 

Avocado: This is my favorite fruit and one I need to make a better effort of eating everything. My dad had a cabg surgery and he would see me eating a large avocado everyday and say that is heavy in calories. He is stupid but if anything like this, they are lying to you. This has omega 3s, a lot of fiber,
and a lot of vitamins that can fill you up. Some people choose a protein bar or fairlife over an avocado because of better macros. They are stupid. This has everything you need for your gut and if you eat a big, you will be full and you wouldn’t feel the need to overindulge. Please don’t let these guys lie to you about avocados. This is so good for your digestion and if anyone tells you to eat a protein bar over this, they are stupid. I told my doctor I ate 1-2 avocados sometimes and he said I’m eating too much fat. 

Mangoes, oranges, watermelon, guava, kiwi: Need your vitamin C, here you go. So many people are carbaholics and sugar junkies so you want sugar, here you go. If you are trying to lose weight and are insulin resistant, I would suggest staying from mango and watermelon at least for the time being. To get your vitamin C, guavas and kiwis are your best bet. You can have watermelon and mangoes after you reverse your diabetes. Honestly you could 1-2 servings a week but you need to get rid of your insulin resistance first. Stay away from sugar, these companies main goal is to sell you sugar. That’s disgusting. 

Potatoes: Sweet potatoes are the best but you guys need carbs for performance so this is by far the best carb source. This carb source has so much potassium. Potatoes are full of potassium and will improve your performance, hydration, and concentration. Don’t make fries or chips out of this. If you are prediabetic or you have diabetes, you wanna make sure you boil your potatoes and preferably get sweet potatoes butt anyone else can get Idaho potatoes or russets. This is such a good performance and recovery carb. Please don’t eat rice for carbs. You can potatoes with your other vegetables, don’t need rice. Potatoes are high volume and filling foods too.

Green vegetables/beans: I don’t do a good job eating these but I like okra and broccoli. I still need to do a better job of eating these but I forget it or get too lazy to cook them. These are good for you and I should do better eating these but I get lazy and forget about them so I can’t really speak about what they provide. I don’t build around these foods but if you are vegetarian, I believe that you should work around these foods.

Walnuts (soaked in water): you need your omega 3s as a South Asian so if you are vegetarian, it sucks you are too defiant to try out some fish but whatever. You can have walnuts (like a handful) and eat them after you leave them soaked in water. Having high HDL cholesterol is good as a South Asian so get your omega 3s. I personally think you should eat your fish for them but these work too I guess. 

Grass Butter/ghee/beef tallow/olive oil/avocado oil/duck fat: One of the biggest lies they told everyone was to switch from butter and beef tallow to using seed oils. To switch from eggs and freshly squeezed orange juice in the morning to eating cereal laced with seed oils. Seed oils cause inflammation and are extremely high in omega 6s. Cook with butter, ghee, tallow, and see how good you feel.

Greek Yogurt/kefir: I have 1 serving of Greek yogurt and kefir a day. I like the full fat Greek yogurt because it tastes really good and it has a lot of protein which is bioavailable. Kefir is also a really good fermented milk which is so good for your gut. I incorporate 1 serving of each.

If you are South Asian, you need to realize you have been brainwashed into eating sugar. You go into a temple or a gurdwara, you are supposed to accept halwa or sugar as an offering from good. I lie that I’m a type 1 diabetic so I can’t take it because it’s disrespectful to not take temple food apparently. It’s too funny to me that people are going to temples and donating all these vegetable oils, chips, naan, and gunk. Everything about our culture revolves around sugar. It’s Diwali, give some ladoos or chena (sugar). Wake up in the morning, have some tea (sugar). It’s a Tuesday or Saturday or Navratri so now it’s an excuse not to eat meat and devulge in fried foods and sugar to please god. It’s time for dinner, put sugar in your daal if you are from a Gujarati family. If you want to build a temple inside of you, eat well instead of praying is my opinion. 

This diet changed my life. I used to be skinny fat at 115 in high school. I used to feel so sick and weak because of all the lies in our community. You don’t have to listen to all these aunties or uncles fat shaming you because it’s not entirely your fault. You have been given the wrong information about nutrition. Medical doctors barely get any nutrition training during med school. A lot of people here are in careers where you are stressed, overworked, tired, and you are going through our own issues. Being fat is not entirely your fault and you can change your life for the better. Don’t let these con artists like Ram Dev baba lie to you. You deserve better out of your life and you can change yourself but you need to throw away the old mindset you have been indoctrinated into.

I know we all have different opinions and I can’t change anyone but I can help point out issues with our diet currently so I want to go over common foods we consider healthy but actually aren’t. I hope this helps someone.

Tea/chai: this is just milk mixed with sugar. Don’t drink this for energy or your morning energy drink. This is bad for you, nothing in this has anything which is good for you. If you want tea or energy, go drink some green tea but do not touch chai. Your body deserves better.

Roti/white bread/white bread/naan: Another so called treat South Asians love. Please don’t eat any of this bread especially if you are trying to lose weight. This is no fiber and will raise your insulin. These are just dirty carbs. Don’t eat any of this. If you want carbs, go eat boiled potatoes and see how good you feel. You need potassium. Don’t eat any of this. Don’t eat pizza either.

White rice/basmati rice/sona rice: This is just sugar and your body just treats this as sugar. If you want to eat rice, go eat some wild rice or black rice. Nothing in here adds any nutrients to your body. They are lying to you, don’t eat any of this. Biryani is included in this, your body deserves better.

Fruit juices/orange juice: If you are trying to lose weight or are trying to reverse insulin resistance, stay away from fruit juices. People will say orange juice has vitamin C and it’s good for you. When you drink juices, your body is bypassing your digestive process and just absorbing sugar. Don’t mess your liver by giving it a fructose bomb. If you want your vitamin C, go eat a kiwi or go peel an orange and eat it yourself. Even better are guavas, don’t drink orange juice.

Protein bars/Fairlife/Herbalife/protein powders: if you want a chocolate bar, just eat a chocolate bar but don’t eat a protein bar. It’s basically an ultra processed sugar bar. It’s so bad for your gut health. Same with Fairlife or Herbalife products. Your body deserves better. I see go called intelligent people having these products over eggs because of protein content. Please don’t take these products. If you want protein, eat eggs and see how good you feel.

Soy/soy products/plant based meats: my body completes rejects soy. Most soy or soy products are genetically modified and sprayed with pesticides. Every time I eat soy, my body doesn’t feel good. There are many anti nutrients like phylates. If you want an alternative to soy, go eat some paneer or cottage cheese. Go eat some chicken. These plant based meats have nothing in your body that’s good for it.

Daal: Daal isn’t unhealthy but this is just fiber and carbs. This doesn’t have any protein which is bioavailable and your body can properly absorb. If you put sugar in this, i don’t know what to say. If you drink daal, you are getting fiber. If you want protein, eat eggs. Don’t let them lie to you and call this protein. 222 calories of daal has only 14g of protein and you would be lucky to absorb even half of that protein. Drink this for your fiber, not for your protein.

Samosa/pakoras/puris/baturas: Processed breaded fried food with “vegetable fillings.” Puris and baturas are also fried bread. Avoid all this, I don’t need to talk about this further.

Butter chicken/processed meats/Chickfila/Wingstop/Taco Bell/Chipotle: All of this is trash and unhealthy. If you want butter chicken, cook the chicken yourself and put ghee or melted butter on top. You don’t need butter chicken. Any meat you buy from a fast food place is heavily processed and disgusting. And Taco Bell, more like Cancer Bell. If you want to eat outside, support your local food trucks and prioritize grilled meats or scrambled eggs. You don’t need any of this processed meat in your body.

Seed oils/vegetable oils/margarine: Highly inflammatory. Most restaurants use seed oils so if you can try to Seed Oil Scout to avoid those restaurants. Seed oils stay in your fat membranes, you can easily detox from processed sugars but avoid seed oils. You can’t easily get rid of this. What’s the alternative? Ghee, grass fed butter, beef tallow, duck fat, olive oil, and avocado oil. Don’t let them lie to you, cook your food in butter or olive oil and see how good you feel.

Pasta: Pasta is not good for you and don’t let them lie to you. This is one of my weak spots but if you want pasta, eat sparingly. There is no potassium, no magnesium, and little fiber. If you want carbs, go eat a potato but don’t let them lie to you about pasta being healthy. These are just refined carbs, you need to be hydrated and pasta is just like sugar to your body. Whenever I ate pasta on my weight loss journey before, I would just want to sleep. If you want to lose weight and build muscle, you need to eat high volume filling foods like potatoes. Your mind wants refined carbs because you are addicted to it but in no shape or form does pasta belong in your body.

Oats/cereal: I see people eating oats for breakfast and to me, that’s just sugar. Oats are just pure carbs and sugar. You want to eat healthy for breakfast, go eat some eggs and an avocado with an orange. Don’t let them lie to you saying oats are healthy. Oats is just sugar. If you are South Asian, you need to unlearn this chai in the morning with oats mindset. And cereal claims it lowers cholesterol. These companies are lying to you. This is just morning sugar bombs. Eat your eggs and please don’t eat any of this.

So people would ask me, are you a carnivore? You are being too restrictive and crazy about your diet. Answer this question, a lion is out in the safari and its hungry so it finds a zebra. Does it say it wants antelope so it will skip the zebra? Your body does not need sugary crap and it’s not about the foods you like. So what foods do I eat that aren’t meat? Simple. Potatoes esp sweet potatoes, avocados, tomatoes, olives, carrots, blueberries, oranges (don’t drink the juice), wild berries, mushrooms, and broccoli. My favorite carb is the potato by far. My previous posts have been more of animal based advocacy but I want to make more posts pointing out foods I constantly see South Asians eating which hurt them.

I know there are many Indians that are curious about trying meat and fitness. I wanted to make a community where we can discuss dieting centered around animal based protein and biohacking. We can talk about genetics, ancestry, and dieting. If you want to join, comment down below or shoot me a dm! The purpose of this is to explore new things and exchange ideas.

Before I get into everything, I understand that people will have differing opinions and I am not trying to change anyone. You might take away something from what I say or you might not, that’s completely fine. My goal is not to change people but I have this inner fire inside of me when I see Desi men not living up to their potential.

As a Desi man, you probably are set up to have a good career and that’s awesome but you are still disrespected by society. Your career is not going to earn you respect. If you look good, it will piss your haters off. It will make the alt right so mad and that’s why you need to do everything in your power to look the best you can. Every time you eat a donut or a samosa, there’s a white guy or someone else out there that’s outperforming you. You can be good at your technical work but to move up in your career, you also need to look the part and soft power will prop you up. No one is going to give you sympathy points as a Desi man. So many Desi men complain and don’t take accountability for how they are treated by society but they use their career as a coping mechanism. You will be judged so think before you pick up the donut or samosa. You have to be ready to fight for yourself. You are your own worst enemy if you do not fight for yourself. Others had to fight for their freedom so you should also be ready to fight for your self respect.

This transitions into vegetarianism. I don’t believe in the vegetarian diet at all. If you eat eggs, then you might be good but you don’t eat eggs then you are at a complete disadvantage. I used to be mostly vegetarian in my childhood and teens. The reason why you have that brain fog and low physical energy is all that carbs, bread, chai, and sugar. You guys don’t need that. Potatoes, berries, carrots, and avocados are way better. Don’t let them lie to you. I used to be so weak and looked malnourished yet I still had a skinny fat belly. I had to put much more effort to keep up with everyone else and I blame it on the vegetarian diet. I’m ashamed that my parents are vegetarian because I know they are capable of being healthier but they are so obsessed over god but I don’t see god doing anything for you? What has your god done for me or even for them? My mom struggles when walking because of knee pain and my dad had cabg surgery. I see so much potential being wasted. Ever since I transitioned to eating meat and eggs daily, I got sharper and stronger. I got better as a person. You guys are already Indian and most of you aren’t really that religious at all. You need every advantage you can have and by not eating meat, you are allowed people of other races to steamroll you. I make it a target that I need to eat 12 ounces of meat a day along with 6 eggs. This is how I thrive. You are gonna face backlash from uncles, aunties, and your parents but you have to stand up for yourself. If you don’t want to eat meat or you don’t have time to cook, Costco sells peeled organic eggs. If I don’t feel like cooking, I will eat 10-12 of those eggs if I don’t want to cook. Some days I would eat 15 if I feel too lazy to cook. You might be worried about cholesterol but I would rather eat that than sugar or processed shakes. Don’t let them lie to you. You will feel like a brand new person. Your hair will be healthier, your skin will be clearer, your sleep will be better, and your mind will fire off. If you are vegetarian, that’s fine but non vegetarians who are dialed in their nutrition. Meat has all 9 essential amino acids and better bioavailability. Aunties and pandits like to talk crap about me but I couldn’t care less. One aunti threw a fit to my mom because I was cooking bison (she called it beef) and red meat. My mom would tell them “my son wouldn’t listen to me” and I even show them pictures of steak, idgaf. Once you start making changes to your health, they will run their mouths or try to deflect your progress. Don’t let them do that.

These uncles and aunties are so annoying and toxic but you don’t need to please them. They will go as far as trying to ruin your relationship with your family because they have nothing better to do. My parents jokingly call me stuff like a Muslim or Christian but I don’t care. I want better for them and it makes me mad seeing when they are suffering. My younger sister has PCOS, attention span issues, and anxiety too and knowing our horrible attitude towards diet I am not surprised. People will say eggs and red meat is unhealthy will they pick up naan, samosas, butter paneer, and more fried veggies. Even your lentils are just carbs with poor protein bioavailability. There is a reason why our people are more skinny fat and women in our community have higher rates of PCOS compared to any other group. We refuse to take any accountability for our health and many of the Indians here aren’t really practicing Hindus so what do you have to lose? In my personal opinion, I need to make sure I need to piss other white supremacists off. I will not let these guys have any advantage over me. That’s just my way of thinking and these are all just my thoughts.
