Congrats on your changes. Why the move?

When Ilanit gets back I'm sure she'll have great information for you

but will have some for their internet biz in OZ.

I want to know how your sweet cravings went away, I'll be dead before

that happens. Not eating enough beans? Never heard that but never

heard a lot of things.

Peace,

Reggie

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?

:-)

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.

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.

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.

All the best,

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!!!

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

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.

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.

When Ilanit gets back I'm sure she'll have great information for you

but will have some for their internet biz in OZ.

I want to know how your sweet cravings went away, I'll be dead before

that happens. Not eating enough beans? Never heard that but never

heard a lot of things.

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

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.

Please only eat nuts if you are free from any sort of viral issues

Hi Simon,

I'm curious if you've seen a lot of people who change to eating

according to macro principles experience this extreme hunger? For

me, I found I could eat my fill, feel satiated, and decrease my

hypoglycemic symptoms, plus I lost weight. Am I in the minority?

What would account for differences?

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. Eating too quickly also makes the situation worse. A lot must depend on what was eaten before. I think people whose diet was high in processed foods sometimes find it takes a while for our digestive system to get new to the new sources of nutrients.

All the best,

Simon

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. Eating too quickly also makes the situation worse. A lot must depend on what was eaten before. I think people whose diet was high in processed foods sometimes find it takes a while for our digestive system to get new to the new sources of nutrients.

All the best,

Simon

Hi Simon,

I'm curious if you've seen a lot of people who change to eating

according to macro principles experience this extreme hunger? For

me, I found I could eat my fill, feel satiated, and decrease my

hypoglycemic symptoms, plus I lost weight. Am I in the minority?

What would account for differences?

Thanks,

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.
