Gurudev, is it okay to have bread, sandwiches, or noodles with vegetables?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Yes, as long as you are having vegetables with that, it is okay. See, I am not saying you should be rigid about food and eat only certain kinds of food in breakfast, or in your meals. The important thing is to be careful and have awareness about what you are eating.
Have as little maida (white flour) as possible. In India, white flour was never used in earlier times. It was always whole wheat that was used in making food. And we used the husk of the wheat also in our food, which is very nutritious. That is what we must do.
