What's the best website for information regarding the vegetarian diet that the Hare Krishna members practice?!
I want to know because I am interested in being on the same diet. Currently, I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian, but would like to adopt their regimen. Thank you!
Also, if you have any tips for being the only one in the household on a vegetarian diet amongst picky eaters and a meat loving husband. Thanks!
Answers: I want to find a detailed list of what members of the Hare Krishna eat. I know it's lacto-vegetarian, but there are certain lacto/dairy items that they do not/cannot eat. Any help in the right direction will be appreciated!

Hello :) Reading through their website will get your started, the second link has excerpts from Hare Krishna books.
Foods should be combined for taste, and for efficient digestion and assimilation of nutrients. Rice and other grains go well with vegetables. Milk products such as cheese, yogurt and buttermilk go well with grains and vegetables, but fresh milk does not go well with vegetables.
The typical Vedic lunch of rice, split-lentil soup, vegetables, and chapatis is a perfect balanced meal.
Avoid combining vegetables with raw fruits. (Fruits are best eaten as a separate meal or with hot milk.) Also avoid mixing acidic fruits with alkaline fruits, or milk with fermented milk products.
