Basically, for best effect, you should not eat meat for ab. 24 hours, and alliums (garlic, onions) for 48 hours before. It is a bit more complicated than that: if you want the details, just ask me. I am not a vegetarian but have mostly chicken which is ok if you eat it at lunchtime. And I meditate first thing in the morning. If I stick to this diet, my meditation is miles better. No need to go hungry at all!

The Buddhist meditation schools generally go with vegetarian diet sans onions and garlic, too. Indeed, moderate eating of nutritious food is obviously best for most any facet of life.
