Food/nutrition in western traditions

[ulvfdfgtmk]

Hello everyone,

it's been a while since I last visited, however I read and learned a lot in the meantime.
I'm writing here today because a subject that comes up again and again for me is nutrition and while eastern traditions have a lot to tell us about this (for example sattvic diet, etc.), I feel that it doesn't really resonate with me.
Now, I hope that a more 'western' approach to the subject might make more sense to me, however I have no idea what keywords to look for.
So if any of you as any leads to a western nutrition approach (if something like this exists at all) I would be very grateful to hear about it.

Shelton is one of my favorite authors on the subject, he wrote The Science and Fine Art of Food and Nutrition.
His main system is based around vegetarianism and hygenic food combinations.

Western occult methods or western modern science methods?

Thanks corvidus, I will have a look at it.

Western occult methods or western modern science methods?

Occult methods if possible.

Okay, this was a bit of a challenge and after some head scratching I came up with this:

Pythagorean diet
Porphyry - On abstinence from animal food
C. W. Leadbeater - Vegetarianism and its occult meanings
Max Heindel - Occult Principles of Health and Healing
Ebenezer Sibly - A Key to Physic, and the Occult Sciences
The Ashgate Research Companion to Nineteenth-Century Spiritualism and the Occult
Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Wicca in the Kitchen
Soraya - The kitchen witch
Colin Spencer The Heretics Feast, A History of Vegetarianism.
Tristram Stuart - The Bloodless Revolution
James Gregory - Of Victorians and Vegetarians.

Wow, that's a lot of resources Desecrated, thank you!

One thing that jumps straight to my eye is the, almost, obsession with vegetarianism in this regard (eastern and western alike it seems). Though Dion Fortune and Franz Bardon for example state that it's not necessary.
Any thoughts on this?
