I love macrobiotics because simply it makes sense. It says the body needs to get into balance for health, and every body (on purpose two words) is different, therefore what is good for one may not be what is best for another. It's true you don't just take a couple slices of bread and stick in some cheese, you do need to cook most of your meals to get the most out of it. So for someone who doesn't realize the magic of the kitchen, it's more challenging. Ramblingwoods, I'd love to also encourage you, but to truly learn it's best to go to a teacher that's near you. Another thing I also love about it, you never stop learning. Thanks Leora for the heads up. I love macrobiotics because simply it makes sense.

When I reconnected to macrobiotics recently via Klara, I learned that the philosophies (plural, because different interpretations) have gotten more lenient and flexible in some ways. But it might depend if one is talking about a relatively healthy person or a sick person. Klara has encouraged me to try recipes. So that's my current approach. Anemic - do you eat beans? They have iron. I first learned about macrobiotics in 1993, when my mother z”l (may her memory be blessed) got ill.

I really am not a meat eater, but I don't eat fish either so I am always anemic. I’ve heard that a macrobiotic diet is difficult to follow.
