Om Namah Shivaya,
Amma's teachings regarding food:
http://www.amritapuri.org/spiritual/jnana/food_1.htm

I post this at the risk of being labelled a glutton
and whatever else! (Sometimes, I think I should get a
handle too, like faintglow

But, Im sure it will be useful to a lot of people
here. The following paragraph caught my attention:

In the beginning stages sâdhaks should observe such
rules closely. Do not eat too much delicious food. As
far as possible, avoid chilies and oil. Semen will
increase if fat accumulates in the body. If the desire
for tasty food increases, the passions in the body
will increase. Diluted milk and fruit can be taken
moderately. It is better not to take food in the
morning. At night, only a little food should be taken.
Half of the stomach should be for food, a quarter of
the stomach for water, and the remaining portion for
the movement of air. A little sweet can be taken. Salt
should be decreased. It is better not to eat at night.
If you feel hungry, eat some fruit. Sleeping
immediately after eating will create problems.

Jai Ma,
Ravi
