饮食条件：
一日三餐为简单家常素食，另有水果及时令蔬菜供生食
茶水、印度奶茶
山泉水（该泉水水质清澈无污染，可直接饮用）
自备水（若使用一次性塑料容器请自行带离营地并妥善处理）
烹饪
我们按照卫生的要求进行厨房操作。我们的素食菜谱是简单而平衡(Satwic)的膳食结构，采用应季的当地新鲜蔬菜
。我们避免煎炸类的食品，并使用柴火、铁锅、陶罐、笼屉及石烹等天然材料烹饪。
用餐
我们围成圆圈席地而坐在主篝火塘周围一起用餐。开饭前厨房会敲锣通知。
我们经常会自制豆芽、匹萨、面包及点心等食品。下图是我们建造的土烤炉。
采购
我们的主要食物来源于附近的村庄，包括当地应季的蔬菜、水果、蜂蜜、禽蛋及当地豆腐坊制做的豆腐等。当地耕种的有机农作物更加有利于健康。我们向那些善待动物的当地农民购买这些产品。
成为素食者
我们为大家提供了一片美丽的地方，在大自然中平衡健康的饮食，它会帮助你建立起一个全新的生活方式。
关于素食主义
素食主义是以植物作为食品，使用或不使用禽蛋，完全不食用动物（包括鸡、鱼及海鲜）的任何部分或制品。素食者是指遵循该原则或天生素食的人或生物。
有很多原因使人成为素食者，包括健康、生态、宗教的原因，对动物的怜悯、相信非暴力、经济能力的考虑以及仅仅因为不喜欢肉的味道等等。
Ahimsa-不伤害，自然意味着不杀生。但不伤害并不仅仅意味着不杀生。广义的 Ahimsa - 不伤害意味着杜绝对任何生物制造痛苦或伤害，无论是通过思维、语言还是行为。不伤害需要有无害的心、嘴和手。
很少有人能够在亲眼目睹了动物被屠宰、剥皮、分割后还能心安理得地坐下来享受一顿红烧排骨。我们多数人天生具有怜悯心，只是通常情况下眼不见为静。如果你参观了屠宰场、养猪场或养鸡场并亲眼目睹现代家畜生产业某些残酷的现象，你的心理会受到挑战的。
关于食物的搭配
1) 单吃水果。酸性的（柑橘类） 略带酸味的（苹果、桃等）和甜果（香蕉、干果等）不应同时进食，因为它们需要不同的消化周期。酸性的15-20分钟，略酸的30分钟，甜果1小时。发芽的或泡过的干果或种子对某些人来说可以与水果混吃。鳄梨和酸性（包括西红柿）及略酸的水果可以搭配，当然消化的时间会加长。瓜类应该单独吃，而且不同的瓜不应混吃。
2) 蛋白质和淀粉类食物应分餐吃。蛋白质需要胃酸帮助消化而淀粉的消化需要碱性的酶。这意味着标准的配餐并不是最好的方案。豆类难于消化尽人皆知。如果同时吃了蛋白质和淀粉类食物，用于消化的酶将相互中和，身体需要8-12小时来排除未消化的残渣余孽， 而这些残余可能被转化成不必要的脂肪。
3) 一餐只吃相对单一的食物。不应同时吃不同的蛋白质食物，因为身体将需要不同的氨基酸来分解它们。两种淀粉食物可以同时吃因为它们易于消化，虽然只吃一种更好。蔬菜比肉类中含有更多的氨基酸且更易于消化吸收。
4) 饮食结构中70%应富含水份，30%为干粮。我们的身体需要连续不短地补充水份，所以水果蔬菜应该在我们的膳食中占主要部分。任何练习都不如有规律和恰当的富含水份的饮食结构能带来平衡高效的消化吸收及排泄系统。
5)
饭前15分钟或饭后2小时再喝水，除非是饮食的一部分如蔬菜汁。 否则的话消化酶会被冲淡。
6) 午饭前只吃水果，因为人的身体有三个自然周期：中午至晚八点为进食和消化期，晚八点至零晨四点为吸收和利用期，零晨四点至中午为排泄期。如果你在身体的排泄期就开始进食，排泄过程就会中止并将毒素存储在体内。而只吃水果不但不会干扰反而会促进排泄过程。如果前一天的饮食结构不合理或是进食时 间过晚，那么午饭前只吃水果尤为重要。刚开始偿试时，可能有放屁多等现象，说明你的身体正在排毒。
7) 进食间隔：沙拉或是生菜后2小时、搭配合理的素食后3小时、搭配合理的荤食后4小时、不合理的饮食或暴饮暴食后8-12小时。
如果活动量不大，进食间隔时间也应加长。听从你自己的身体，当吃的东西不对头时，你的身体会有反应的，如打嗝、胃疼、胃酸、反胃、感觉疲倦、体重增加或生病。
生食
1. 生的食物比烹饪过的食物更加有营养，因此即使你吃得很少也能获得相同的养份。加热食物会使维生素流失、破坏蛋白质和脂肪以及消化所必须的各种酶。当你生吃食物的比例增加以后，较少的摄入量即能带给你更多的能量和满足感，因为生食具有身体所需的水份、营养以及纤维的最佳平衡。
2.
生的食物比烹饪过的食物更加鲜美，所以不必再加盐、糖、香料、或其它调味品来刺激甚至紊乱消化系统或其它器官。限制使用调味品会使人的味觉更加灵敏。
3. 生食操作比较简单方便，可以节省许多时间用于瑜伽修练或个人爱好。
4. 所有不能吃的部分直接送去堆肥循环再生。
5.
4. All inedible parts go directly to the compost pile. Full recycling.
5. Eating a diet of raw foods can reverse or stop the advance of many chronic diseases, including heart disease and cancer. Remember, cooking creates free radicals, which are the major cause of cancer. When you lower the number of free radicals your cells are bombarded with, you lower your risk of cancer.
6. A raw food diet can protect you from acute diseases such as colds, flu, measles, etc. Raw foods maintain a healthy body and a healthy body will not become diseased.
7. As long as you combine raw food properly, you will soon reach a level where you no longer suffer from heartburn, gas, indigestion or constipation.
8. It is environmentally sound. With humanity on a diet of raw foods, the food industry would close up shop and take up organic gardening. This would save us enormous amounts of natural resources used to produce power for these industries. Nuclear power would be clearly unnecessary. And think of how many trees and oil reserves could be saved without the need for the paper and plastics used in packaging our processed foods. There would also be less carbon dioxide released in to the atmosphere when all the cooking stopped and more oxygen produced from all the new orchards and gardens, thus helping to reverse the Greenhouse Effect.
9. Eating raw saves you money on food, vitamins, pots and pans, appliances, doctor bills, drugs, and health insurance.
10. Raw food is digested much faster than cooked food which is necessary for yogic life. Physical practice and meditation with food in stomach might be harmful.
So don't waste your food, yourself, and our planet by cooking what you eat.
Satwic diet
It is food that decides out attainment high or low and it is the food that goes to make up the gross, subtle and causal bodies. So it is perfectly logical and spiritually true that the single most important factor in individual transformation is to pay priority attention to the food taken.
Foods which increase life, purity, strength, health, joy and cheerfulness, which is oleaginous and savory, substantial and agreeable, are dear to the satwic people. Bhagavadgita chapter 17, verse 8
The foods that are bitter, sour, saline, excessively hot, dry, pungent and burning, are liked by the rajasic and are productive of pain, grief and disease. Bhagavadgita chapter 17, verse 9
That which is stale, tasteless, putrid, rotten and impure refuse is food liked by the tamasic. Bhagavadgita chapter 17, verse 10
In context to people the word satwic is applicable to one who is pure or aspiring to be pure, who is doing good and is of a higher consciousness, a rajasic person is one who is passionate, lustful, full of desires, who gets angry easily, who is restless, selfish and who has an active temperament, and a tamasic person is one who is dull, lazy, inebriated, slow, and of a low consciousness...
Satwic foods
Nuts, fruits, fresh vegetable (except onions, garlic and herbs that inebriate), legumes, cereal, lentils, products from whole-wheat flour, sprouts, raw milk etc.
Rajasic foods
All disease producing foods or satwic foods in excess, salty, sour, pungent, burning foods, spicy, condiments and stimulants like tea, sugar etc.
Tamasic foods
All stale, tasteless, putrid, fermented food, alcohol, drugs, tobacco, meat, fish, eggs and all food that slow down physically and mentally. Overcooked food. Wrong combining etc.
Both tamasic and rajasic foods should be avoided so it does not really matter much about which foods are tamasic or rajasic. What is important is that one should eat more and more raw satwic foods until dependence on the other two are overcome gracefully.
Veganism
In a nutshell, "veganism" may be defined as a way of living which seeks to exclude all animal products for food, clothing, or any other purpose.
Veganism is a way of living on the products of the plant kingdom to the exclusion of all products from the animal kingdom. A vegan is a total vegetarian who consumes no animal by-products.
Vegans go even further by avoiding both animal derivatives and animal-tested products in their whole lifestyle. This means an avoidance of meat, milk, eggs, butter etc., as well as leather, wool, cosmetics, soaps and shampoos derived from animal ingredients or tested on animals.
Why? Most people who have chosen a vegan lifestyle have done so because they have become aware of the cruelty and exploitation involved in the making of animal products. Vegans choose to act positively to reduce this cruelty by abstaining from animal-derived products and thereby reducing the demand for them. Vegans realise that it is unnecessary to inflict suffering on animals in order to lead a healthy, happy, normal life. Indeed, avoidance of animal products usually results in enhanced, natural good health. Coupled with compassion for animals is the awareness that animal production is a grossly inefficient means of producing food which our heavily populated world can no longer continue to support.
