Vegetarian festival guide, earn merit without gaining weight
4 survival tips for a healthy & mindful vegetarian season
     • Watch out for textured vegetable protein, many meat substitutes are made from refined wheat flour. Opt for natural protein sources like fresh tofu, mushrooms, and beans and nuts.
     • Swap fried dishes for steamed, boiled, or stewed options to cut down on extra oil.
     • Fill your plate with 2 parts veggies, 1-part healthy protein, and 1-part complex carbs (like brown rice or whole wheat) to stay full longer and prevent blood sugar spikes.
     • Avoid over-seasoning and drink plenty of water to flush out excess sodium.
Eat mindfully, nourish your soul, and don't forget to take good care of your health.
