I am going to Southern Tamil Nadhu to a holy place (Arunachala ) Tiruvannamalai for at least 6 weeks. The purpose is meditation and following a lifelong dream. The town is totally vegetarian and alcohol free. I would appreciate any advice regarding dietary intake and lifestyle in general. I eat and cook a lot of Indian food and more than happy with vegetarian dishes. so I guess it is what a Type 2 should definitely avoid etc.. The temperature there is around 90 degrees F, and will be rainy season for some of the period. I have had all jabs and it is a very low risk area for Malaria. I have lived and worked in the Middle East. Thank you, Jon
