I survived Ammachi's ashram in Kerela by eating cheese sandwiches from the canteen. The cheese was imported. The free meals were way too spicy for me and I didn't have a meal or two at the pay ashram restaurant (more variety less spicy). Fortunately I was only there a couple of days.
I have an Indian friend who the first thing he wanted to do was go get a pizza when he came to the states. Sometimes there may be some efficacy depending on how the body is functioning to eating a little higher fat food. But that's something not yet understood by a lot of western nutritional researchers who are all about cutting fats and recommending "fruits and vegetables." I cringe when I hear "fruits" because they can trigger glycemic reactions and it makes the researchers sound like dimbos. Some smarter research people have begun to de-emphasize fruits or qualify them. Berries may not throw blood sugar off as much as an apple.
