11. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta was very critical of his overweight sannyasi disciples.

Quote Found by Urmila Devi Dasi

We can definitely see that to advance in Krsna consciousness one must control his bodily weight. If one becomes too fat, it is to be assumed that he is not advancing spiritually. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura severely criticized his fat disciples. The idea is that one who intends to advance in Krsna consciousness must not eat very much.

(Srimad-Bhagavatam 4.28.35-36 Purport)
