How can I follow the Satvic lifestyle in a hostel?

We understand that it is difficult to follow the Satvic lifestyle in a hostel setup where many things are outside of our control. We should therefore think of things we can do that are in our control.

We can practise 16 hours fasting absolutely anywhere.

Please have some coconut water that you can have as morning detox juice. (These are easily available everywhere and can be stored for 3-4 days)

Please keep some fruits in your hostel room that you can have for breakfast. You can choose easy to eat fruits such as bananas/apples/oranges that do not require cutting and can be eaten as whole.

For lunch you can have your regular hostel food. But please remember, do not mix 2 types of grains. You can have sabzi and chapati or rice with vegetables. Always have 3 times more vegetables with your grains.

In dinner, you can simply skip the grains and have the vegetables available at the hostel. Or you can also choose to have fruits on days that you're not very hungry.
