A Great Little Guide To Macrobiotics.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The Pocket Guide To Macrobiotics is the perfect start to understanding the yin and yang of the diet. It explains the meaning of macrobiotics, the basic ideas behind the diet, how it can be used in everyday life, to heal, to gain energy, to help keep the body healthy. While published in 1997 it still makes total sense. It is flexible yet I have to warn you it will not be an easy regimen to follow at first.
Excellent

Don't miss this small, pocket-sized volume if you need a thorough introduction to the principles and philosophy of macrobiotics. Without including any recipes, author Carl Ferre has done an excellent job condensing the most important aspects of marcobiotics into this handy book. An easy read, keep it in your purse or jacket pocket to peruse when you have a few spare minutes.
I'm so glad I found this!

This book provides a great deal of information on beginning and sustaining a macrobiotic diet and is written in a clear, concise manner. It speaks positively about small dietary changes and never stoops to belittling other diets. When I bought the book, I knew absolutely nothing about the macrobiotic way of life. When I put it down, I had a good working knowledge. Although it doesn't include any recipes, I think this book is excellent.
Best Expression of the macrobiotic way of eating to date
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
This small pocket guide outlines food choices in diagrams displaying the relative positions of food rather than in terms of nutritional data. Nutritional quantities and percentages of food are misleading in that the imply accurate descriptions of food before it is eaten and digested. Each body is different and the macrobiotic way of eating requires considering the condition of the eater as well as the food eaten. For anyone who has encountered strange or misleading information of this grain-based diet would benefit from reading this small guide. It is well written in an easy to follow format that persuades rather than dictates. The resources and references are excellent and the price is right.
