According to Gandhiji, “when food submerses the body, and through the body the soul, its relish disappears, and then alone does it begin to function in the way nature intended it to.”
Gandhi never had a problem with being overweight. He followed a strict vegetarian diet and frequently cooked his own simple food, which was locally produced.
He ate this simple food from a small bowl, a reminder to eat moderately, and at the same time he ate mindfully, often accompanied by prayers.
