I dont drink alcohol. But I am a regular meat eater. I was diagnosed with some health problems and my weight gain was getting bad while I was a vegetarian and eating grains, milk etc. Are eggs fine?
Had to give it all up and became a full on meat eater, health improved substantially.
I wont eat meat during the remedy but what would you recommend I eat long term so as to not accrue negative karma and yet not become unhealthy. Any other life changes you would recommend?
It's been over 10 years of never ending struggle. I am slowly losing the will to live

I will appreciate your responses to the questions above about diet.
Also, I personally love the idea of immersing myself in bhakti to lord vishnu.
can i, despite being a meat eater, worship the lord especially listen to vishnu sahasranamam?

Ketochamp, you probably directed that question at astroduffer and he will in all likelihood respond. But since the question you have asked is about long term lfestyle change as well as negative karma, I hope I can chime in.
There are two parts in the answer.
1. Health. This Keto /Paleo diet is yet another fad that is misunderstood and propagated by the animal farming industry to protect business. The food and pharma industry in the US is amongst the most powerful business backed as much by money as lack of ethics. If you have not done so already, please watch a presentation by Sarah Ballantyne on Paleo diet. She calls herself as a Paleo Mom and has researched into this topic a lot. You will understand the reason why Keto diet gained popularity and why it is being mis-sold today. In the same vein, please also read the works of Dr. Michael Greger and Dr. John McDougall. The latter has famously advocated a rice diet that is predominantly rice/starch and low protein & fat based on his observations and learnings from far east. They key learning was how East Asian men would marry at 60, and father children and live to see them grow, whereas the age of 60s is when Western men go under the scalpel for heart diseases, or discover they have colon cancer. Don't forget to also read up on Dr. Dean Ornish.
2. On negative Karma: If you haven't done so already, please watch the movie Earthlings and then decide for yourself if we man(un)kind has any right to slaughter helpless animals to eat them, when we dont even need that flesh.

my vitamin b12 deficiency was covered up with some ayurved meds and veg diet in less than 15 days, alongside vishnu stotras.
I've tried going sattvic. I inevitably get a pot belly and my family history runs diabetes and heart problems.
Rice, wheat, fruits, grains all make me fat, sluggish, skin issues. Dairy causes me issues too.
I have seen arguments on both sides as being politically driven whether it is keto or vegan.
I'm so juxtaposed because on a sattvic diet I do poorly and that eventually makes me worry about health too much that I can't focus on spirituality much.
It might sound weird, but since 2016 I've been a hardcore meat eater like twice everyday and my mercury sub period started in 2016 May.
Mercury is also Lord Vishnu.
I find it extremely strange that my health looks, outlook, intelligence all changes and increased exponentually diring this period despite the struggles. Strangely enough, this period was also marked by several epiphanies about the Lord. Personally witnessed his divine interventions in times of utter despair that I can't even afford to be skeptical anymore.
Yet during this period, I have lived a life filled with material desires, meat eating, sex yet I've never been more spiritually inclined and immerse as I'm now.
It's just i can't stop thinking about the Lord despite doing things some might consider degenerate.
Like I always have these bursts of restlessness during the day where I have to do smaran of god and just read about him something or the other.
Interested in your thoughts.

I have never had any bad dreams about snake bites or any animal attacks ever. This is what most kala sarpa analysts worry about. In fact I used to live in a house where they petted a snake, the snake was calm around I and so was I around him. I pet cats and dogs frequently and they get alone very well together. I dream often about Vishnu Rama Krishna now, and all of this started since December 2016 during Rahu-Budh. I was never this spiritual before.
Strangely enough, I had been reading vishnu strotam and sahasranama. This morning around 4 am, I had some weird dreams that I can't fully remember and it was intense like I haven't had a dream like this in years.
I was standing outside my old house and suddenly I the clouds took over, dark, thunderous, and I know you will think I am crazy but then I heard noises of a battle cry and the first thought that came to my mind was that this is what kurukshetra must have sounded like during Mahabharat.
Then I got a reminder that Shivji told Parvati to chant Ram's name thrice as it is the equivalent of reading VSS.
I didn't freak out and stood there chanting Rama Rama Rama, incessantly, and within a few seconds the sky got cleared up, like bright sun shine broke in and there was no more noises except birds chirping.
THIS IS THE STRANGEST DREAM I HAVE HAD IN MY LIFE.
To make this even more strange, about 40 minutes ago, I received a call from a recruiter who has asked me to call them back as they might have some positions opening up. I can't guarantee what's gonna happen.
But I don't know what to make of all of this. I will be very appreciative of your detailed feedback
