“It’s hard to ‘take yourself lightly’ if you don’t eat Lightly!…that is why i
rely upon SUNRIDER herbs each day to Cleanse, Balance, and Support what matters
most; the CHI,baby!” – Coach Ilg in padma mayurasana. photo by dorit thies.

“Hello Ilg
I got and read your TBT book which I love

But I saw pictures of you on your blog and man you�re
ripped as heck!

But I was wondering if you still follow the very same
foods you talk about in TBT or if you changed.

You seem to be a type that would be a raw food
vegan…
Do you get a lot of protein?
And what’s up with these “SunRider Herbs”, perhaps you
could tell me more…
bye
dave”

Dear Noble Fitness Warrior Dave,
i bow to your metta.

1) my personal “diet”; it will only confuse and perhaps endanger your own stance on the Journey of Awakening…i have been doing WF my whole life. you have not. how i have Shifted through decades of Practice should not be the measurement of your beginning steps on this Path.

2) i average 1,100 kcals per day with an output of several times that number. it does not make mathematical, nor conventional Western sense. however, i have been Taught by Teachers who followed the Ancient Scriptures and prioritize inner Energy over trying to consume energy in Outer forms (food calories). i rely on the Chi (movement of energy) from the SUNRIDER herbs, instead of the mathematics of matter (calories). remember what i wrote in TBT; true Nutrition is pran..it’s chi..it’s about knowing how to eat accurately to move the mutidimensional waves of energy (vayus,nadis, chakras) in your subtle anatomy, not your gross gross anatomy which pivots upon calories and dense foods. my bodyfat stays around 2.8%…hasn’t changed since my teens and i am now 43. if needed, i can go lower easily and healthfully..thus is the power of the herbs.

3) no, i don’t eat a lot of protein; yet i can easily add or subtract volumes of musculature as i need to do the sports or events that i wish. instead of focusing my eating on ratios of carbs, proteins, and fat like the common unAwake man, i focus on this: i eat my Life and i drink the Pran. this is what nourishes me.

4) what you see as “ripped” is just a natural Warrior/Brahman body that is very functional across the physiologic spectrum; endurance, ultra-endurance, strength, suppleness, agility, mental stability, equanimity of emotion, and mastery of food. it is just that the natural warrior body stands out in a nation of inappropriate/over-eaters and under-exercisers.

5) Get On The HERBS, baby! the Masters have taught for eons; once you meet a Teacher that has earned your curiosity and respect..that Teacher, if he sees your cup is empty and accepts you, will show you “secret herbs.” well, Noble One, i am showing you the “secret herbs” which represent your Next Step in your Transformation from gross level athlete to a Warrior of the Light; SUNRIDER herbs..i will have one of my Staff Teachers contact you to see if you are brave enough to JUMP into our Temple Garden and explore by direct experience, the CHI of the Secret Herbs!

your whacky, chi loving, lean and mean book author/yogi/athlete who walks his talk…
thanks again for your great letter and i look forward to seeing you in the Temple Garden: SUNRIDER HERBS!
