Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Hi Louise! Welcome to the group. I've learned a ton here. The KI in Holland is wonderful. I enjoyed spending time there, and now they have their restaurant back open. It was closed while I was visiting. Can you tell us more about what you're eating in your daily diet? Maybe if you describe your typical breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, someone can help you avoid the extreme hunger and sweet cravings. How salty do you make your miso soup? :-) > > Hello everyone, > > I recently started eating Macrobiotic and joined the group last week. > Of course I have a million questions ;-) > > I just moved from Amsterdam to Sydney, and realize it was a pity I did > not learn about Macrobiotics while in Holland, as I understand they > have a great centre there.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Good point Reggie. Besides my business here providing health minded products and macrobiotic staples, Ilanit and I have been slowly building something similar to serve the Australian market. It is called New Heights of Well Being, www.newheightsofwellbeing.com.au It is still in the process of evolution so not every product we have available is online there, like the macrobiotic products etc. So for those of you that we can serve via this, please inquire to us about what you might need which you did not see within the web site.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Reggie, Her cravings for sweets she wrote didn't go away, it went way up!!! Louise, the hardest part of mb in our instant society is that it isn't instant. It's changing a lifetime of habits - so depending on how old you are and how you've eaten til now, give it time!!!! As for being hungry, try slowing down your eating - don't do other activities, focus on your food and feeling it as it goes in and down, and trying counting your chews. Make a game with yourself to see how long (longer wins) you can make the chews last. Try cooking foods that are more chewable, that is, cooked al dente vegetables, or just briefly boiled, lots and lots of vegetables. There's a great little book out on chewing and just can't think of the title now, it's a cute title - see if you can find it, it's inspiring and gives more thoughts on how to chew and its advantages. As for sweets, I've posted I'm sure lots of times, emphasize the sweet vegetables - and make a drink from them - drink 1/2 cup mid morning and 1/2 mid afternoon - do a search for sweet vegetable drink - I'm sure I've posted a zillion times on it. and go easier on salty foods. Sweet vegetables help also with relaxing, which is also important. Once you relax, you could go for enjoying - it all makes the food digest better!!!! But again, it will take time, so just go at your own pace and know that slow and steady will win the race. the important thing is to try to listen to your body, if you feel you need more food, perhaps you do, til after a good while of eating this way, things will balance out.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Hi Louise, My name is Marque and I've learned quite a bit from working with clients and my own battle that I finally won with Candida as well as many other ailments. Your sugar cravings are going up and you are constantly hungry most likely because you are feeding the Candida. I am writing an article for the macrobiotic guide on Candida, and other intestinal problems specifically because they need to be addressed differently when using food as a tool. I would not recommend using miso for you until the candida is cleared unless it is boiled and the enzyme " killed " . Each case is slightly different as the levels are different but it sounds like you might have a systemic case. Also you probably need to stay away from wheat and corn and modify the grain consumption. I would love to work with you to clear your candida if this is something that you would like to do.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Feeling full IS a problem for a lot of newbie mb's. Kushi says "do not overeat!", which is a big problem for a lot of people carrying extra weight or with food issues (me for instance). Anyway, I don't know what the chewing book is, but you can Google "Fletcherism"--Fletcher was an American whose ideas predated Ohsawa's--he promoted thorough chewing, a low-protein diet, not eating while emotionally upset, not eating until really hungry. He was very fit and strong, lost about 60 pounds on his own program, but, like Ohsawa, died young--at age 68, from a heart attack. Chewing every mouthful 50 to a 100 times is a real challenge--most people can get through about three mouthfuls of that many chews, then get distracted and get back to eating! But the chewing thing really is supposed to be very beneficial on many levels. chKlara LeVine wrote: Reggie, Her cravings for sweets she wrote didn't go away, it went way up!!!

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hello Bruce, It is quite common for people new to macrobiotics to eat more than usual. Part of this is due the macrobiotic foods having such a high water content, so although it may look and feel like more in reality it is similar to a drier but smaller drier meal. I have been publishing detail of a BBC documentary in my moderndaymacrobiotics yahoo group which you are welcome to join. One interesting piece of research that is relevant is that if you take a meal and water and eat it, the water will pass through your stomach quickly allowing the stomach to reduce in size leaving you feeling like another snack. When researchers blended the whole mixture up into a soup the people eating it felt satisfied for another hour to hour and a half. The basic message being that to feel satisfied try having more soups. All the whole grains, beans and vegetables work well in soups and in this format you should find you can go longer between meals. For example a big grain soup and some steamed vegetables for lunch should keep you satiated for a few hours. If you reach the stage where you need a snack try home roasted almonds as these act as an appetite suppressant and should keep you going for longer. All the best, Simon Simon G.

Chewing every mouthful 50 to a 100 times is a real challenge--most people can get through about three mouthfuls of that many chews, then get distracted and get back to eating! But the chewing thing really is supposed to be very beneficial on many levels. ch Klara LeVine wrote! : Reggie, Her cravings for sweets she wrote didn't go away, it went way up!!! Louise, the hardest part of mb in our instant society is that it isn't instant. It's changing a lifetime of habits - so depending on how old you are and how you've eaten til now, give it time!!!! As for being hungry, try slowing down your eating - don't do other activities, focus on your food and feeling it as it goes in and down, and trying counting your chews. Make a game with yourself to see how long (longer wins) you can make the chews last. Try cooking foods that are more chewable, that is, cooked al dente vegetables, or just briefly boiled, lots and lots of vegetables. There's a great little book out on chewing and just can't think of the title now, it's a cute title - see if you can find it, it's inspiring and gives more thoughts on how to chew and its advantages. As for sweets, I've posted I'm sure lots of times, emphasize the sweet vegetables - and make a drink from them - drink 1/2 cup mid morning and 1/2 mid afternoon - do a search for sweet vegetable drink - I'm sure I've posted a zillion times on it. and go easier on salty foods. Sweet vegetables help also with relaxing, which is also important. Once you relax, you could go for enjoying - it all makes the food digest better!!!! But again, it will take time, so just go at your own pace and know that slow and steady will win the race. the important thing is to try to listen to your body, if you feel you need more food, perhaps you do, til after a good while of eating this way, things will balance out.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Dear all, Thank you so much for your responses! This group is great!!! I will definitely try the sweet veg drink! Also thanks for the link , you have a lot of great stuff on there. What I find difficult to get in Sydney is daikon, umeboshi plum, and kombu. It does take some juggling to figure out all these different diets and ways of eating out there. It can get very confusing. Last year I starting eating according to the Special Carbohydrate Diet for intestinal health. No grains at all, as well as no sugar, soy, dairy, etc. You were supposed to eat a large amount of animal protein which didn't sit well with me being mainly vegetarian for years. I lost a lot of weight, though that wasn't my main objective, and people thought after I while I didn't look too good. My intestinal health didn't improve either... I am drawn to macrobiotics because it is a lifestyle and a philosophy not a " diet " and the way of eating makes a lot of sense to me. Like I mentioned I have been diagnosed with Candida as well, so that means a different diet too. It all gets very difficult to know how to eat according to your own body. Like mentioned Candida, means no yeast or fermented products, as well as mushrooms, fruit etc. So, , yes I would be very interested in more information about adjusting my diet so it is both macrobiotic and might help fight the candida. Would you also recommend food supplements? How did you in the end manage to cure your own candida infection? Meanwhile, thanks for the chewing advise. This is something I will try to focus more on, and will see if I can get the books recommended. Warm regards from Down Under, Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hi Louise, It took a degree of time to clear the Candida completely and I tried so many different products. I'd be happy to share more perhaps talking instead of typing. If you have a number you can email me privately and I can call you or we can speak via skype. Grains are fine and you will see in my Candida Free cookbook that I used grains but only the gluten free ones and in limited amounts as too much at once will just feed the little buggers. I would not recommend much in the way of animal foods because they are so acid forming for the body. Veggie fare is so much better for clearing things like this and calming the intestines. Probiotics are a must I feel as well. Chewing will increase your immunity and that is always helpful for all of us and produce more energy for our lives. One thing that I feel is also a must for macro folks is to be sure to get enough vitamin C as it is essential for the immune system as well and can get lacking with so much grain eating. All for now 'cuz I need to scoot. > > > > > > > Dear all, > > Thank you so much for your responses! This group is great!!! > > I will definitely try the sweet veg drink!

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hi Lesley, In my experience it is most common in males. We do after all have a stomach that is about a third bigger than females.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I'm all for suppliments used properly and of course lysine can counteract the argenine but eating well is a balancing act and being aware is key. Also monolaurin can break down the lipid envelope of the virus to make it so that a person may never have an outbreak again.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I'm all for suppliments used properly and of course lysine can counteract the argenine but eating well is a balancing act and being aware is key. Also monolaurin can break down the lipid envelope of the virus to make it so that a person may never have an outbreak again. It needs to be taken consistantly and in a fairly large dose so one needs to be committed to taking it. > > > > > > > > I know that in macro, whole food over a period of time is always the > goal, what about supplements, used sparingly, in the case of > argenine ratios, lysine supplements will counteract, I have used > this, while continuing on the whole food mindset, plan, ideas on > this? > > > > > > > > > > > > Hello everyone, > > > > > > > > > > I recently started eating Macrobiotic and joined the group > last > > > > week. > > > > > Of course I have a million questions ;-) > > > > > > > > > > I just moved from Amsterdam to Sydney, and realize it was a > pity I > > > > did > > > > > not learn about Macrobiotics while in Holland, as I > understand they > > > > > have a great centre there.
