I had read in Pujya Gandhiji’s book – The Story of My Experiments with Truth – that it is much easier to completely swear off something, rather than to exercise our will-power in trying to limit it.
I found it is true.
Do yourself a favour.
Just drop – sweetmeats (that includes chocolates, ice-creams, cakes, cold drinks), fried stuff (yuck..) and stuff claiming to be edible, but in reality made from maida (finely ground wheat) – from your diet this week.
Do you feel a difference?
Yeah sure. Like if you have a BMW. And one fine morning you decide that I am no longer going to run it on kerosene, but instead fill her up with high-octane gasoline. Just as a vehicle, we need to take care of our body, get the best herbal medicine and only consume healthy aliments. You wouldn’t use rusty generic parts for you’re new BMW would you?
Oh of course, our body is like a BMW. Just infinitely more valuable.
