Women’s Health Magazine wrote about the macrobiotic diet a few months back. They called it one of the healthiest things you could do for yourself. They also called it one of the most complicated diets to follow. LOL.
There is a website that lays it out as a little more simplistic. Look @ http://altmedicine.about.com/od/popularh… for some suggetions.
Macrobiotic is about balancing the type of foods you eat for maximum nutirent absorption. Once you learn the balances, you will be on your way. Also, if you take note of TYPE of foods eaten, you could easily substitute a non-Asian food your family will eat, so long as you keep the type of food the same. If your family won’t touch a miso soup, for example, try another light soup that is protein packed, or make your own with beans, veggie broth and a blender. Good luck!!
To lose weight, a person has to reduce the calorie intake by some amount by modifying their diet. A diet without sufficient nutrients will only increase the appetite of the person trying to lose weight. Since most people combine a diet with an exercise plan, additional nutrients are required for the growth of muscles required to increase the metabolic rate required for long term weight loss.
