Ricki

A really useful summary, Meg. And strangely, I've also found more variety in my diet since I eliminated a whole bunch of foods--I think eating this way encourages one to try out other, previously untried, ingredients, thereby opening up a whole new range of possibilities!

Meg Wolff

Ricki,
Isn't it amazing how much variety there is and all the foods untried out there?! Yes, a whole new range of possibilities!

Nicole

This is really helpful and clear. You hear so many conflicting things about what macrobiotics is and isn't... you have proved with your recipes how not-limiting this diet really is.

San

Meg, this way of eating sounds delicious and satisfying. Especially the taking time to ENJOY a meal. I find that I eat the most poorly when I am stressed and tend to put things in my mouth unconsciously.

As I've said before, you are radiant! It is perfectly believable that you feel the healthiest you ever have.

Meg Wolff

Nicole,
I'm glad that you found this helpful. I hope to help make it a bit easier to understand. I do think there is a lot of misinformation about what it actually is. I plan to write more. Thanks for the feedback.

San,
Yes, sitting down and taking time to enjoy our meals IS as important as the food we eat. And believe me, I am so much better for it now ... it has truly changed every aspect of my life in ways that I couldn't have imagined! Thanks for the compliment ... I will follow you anywhere. :-)

Lisa

Hi Meg! Thanks for the comment on my blog. Your blog is a wealth of fantastic information! ... and I totally agree with Ricki's comment above! I have introduced far more new foods to my repertoire than I have eliminated by becoming a vegetarian!!

Meg Wolff

Hi Lisa,
It is great that you have introduced far more new foods since becoming vegetarian. You have some fantastic recipes too!

Pritya

Dear Meg,
I read about you in http://jugalbandi.info/2008/04/muhammara-roasted-red-pepper-and-walnut-dip.
And your write up here is so inspiring, with your openness and optimism. This is a lovely site and I shall be visiting here more often.
Take care and Cheers!

Meg Wolff

Dear Pritya,
Thank you for your kind words. Please do visit again and I will visit you as well!

Hi Meg, just to say I discovered your site via the cybermacro forum and what a delight it is! Beautiful photos useful information and what a wonderful story you tell, so inspiring.

I do not have a serious health problem (and for this I am so grateful) but I have lost several women close and dear to me to cancer, and I am sure that macrobiotics can lead to health and happiness for ourselves and also the planet. Thanks for all your hard work producing such a lovely blog. All the very best from Sweden - EJ

Meg Wolff

Dear Ellen,
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful comment and for helping spread the word that there is a lot we can do to regain our health and that of the planet.

hi meg
i've just been looking through your blog - very useful information for me, as my mothre died of breast cancer.
i can't imagine eating completely macrobiotically - i can give up meat quite happily, but not cheese - but i like the idea of eating lots of grains and vegetables; that's pretty much how we eat on a daily basis in our home.
at the moment, no one in my house is suffering from a serious health problem (my mother in law is 84 and takes no medication whatsoever apart from calcium supplements), and i'd like to believe that this is partly due to our consumption of greens that we grow ourselves.
there's so much we can do to improve our quality of life through nature itself

Debbie

Very interesting Meg! You really are someone who is not only surviving ...but thriving! My husband and I spent three weeks at the Pritikin Clinic a number of years ago. It sounds a bit similar in that it is a plant based diet with lots of complex carbohydrates. Unfortunately, we've gotten away from eating that way and we've both gained some weight. I think I need to spend more time on your site.

Thanks for sharing what has worked for you!

Debbie

Sorry Meg- I refreshed my page because it seemed stuck and my comment was posted twice! I don't know if you can delete it. Debbie

This is my 1st time at your blog & I'm I have to thank you for the amount of usefull information you've taken the time to put up on your site....

It amazing to read about your recovery...
I'm practicing the macrobiotic diet but in baby steps...& what's amazing to me is that my body protests now when I feed it junk!!!

I'll be visiting your site alot thanks for being an inspiration.

Dear Meg,

I just had a major realization today--for the past week or so I've been kind of depressed, which was odd, because my husband was just offered a new job. We were so excited and relieved, so this feeling of depression and listlessness took me off guard. Then I realized that my husband and I had been eating really poorly after learning of the offer--some kind of release, I guess? I don't know. But really, pizza, ice cream, a 20-oz. soda, all in one week? I feel sick just thinking of it.

I now realize my malaise is very likely a response to all that sugar and dairy. I never put it together before, but now it seems so incredibly clear . . . Tomorrow's breakfast is oatmeal and maybe even some kale.

  • T. Colin Campbell: The China Study

    T. Colin Campbell: The China Study
    It seems everyone wants to know the science behind a plant-based diet. Campbell's book is based on his 40 years of government-funded research. It's the most comprehensive study of nutrition ever conducted and I'd say the most important book about nutrition ever written. I'm proud to note that this amazing researcher wrote the foreword for Becoming Whole.
