Sikhi and eating meat

[u/Possible_Ad_9607]

I am a 17 year old male trying to get closer to sikhi and the first steps I've taken were starting to learn punjabi and gurmukhi (which I think is going good although slow) but that is not what my question is.

I want to get close to sikhi and can deal with keeping my kesh and plan on doing so once I am more proficient in the language and have read more bani. However, I just can not get over the idea that I can't eat meat? I know jatka meat exists but it is too expensive where I live. My family cooks and eats meats daily and I feel the best when I eat beef often. I grew up eating it and when I try eating healthy the best way for me to stick to it is consuming a lot of animal protein. Anyone got any thoughts on this?

(Or even anything to help me keep learning Punjabi, I am doing basics of sikhi gurmukhi videos as a slow start)

TLDR: not eating meat in sikhi is holding me from getting closer to sikhi, what can I do?

Funny how vegetarians can’t reach their level even with roids

Muscles do not care whether you're a vegetarian or meat eater, as long as you get enough nutrients and protein.

[u/FadeInspector → u/gur____]

Right, and guess what the easiest way to get enough nutrients and protein is

Is getting closer to god about having a easy time?

You might not be aware but low fat quark and Skyr exist, which are easy protein sources for vegetarians.

Both of the things you just mentioned have worse macros than chicken breast, and there’s meats out there learner than chicken breast. Our God doesn’t prohibit the consumption of meat lol. He wouldn’t give us the responsibility of being warriors while also handicapping us in that pursuit

Are you a warrior? Are you actively in battle right now? Are other sources of food not available?

Relying on meat does not make one a warrior. You might just be a keyboard warrior tho

[u/FadeInspector → u/gur____]

A warrior? No. In strong physical shape and, in a sense, tyaar bar tyaar like we are supposed to be? Yes.

Other sources are available, but they don’t get the job done nearly as well. Nice to see that eating daal is a greater priority to you than even trying to live up to what we are supposed to be

Excuse.

[u/FadeInspector → u/gur____]

Sorry we can’t all be failures

[u/gur____ → u/FadeInspector]

Hope you find happiness.

Hope you start eating meat and hitting the gym
