Guest guest Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Is there anyone in the group who follows macrobiotic principles in his/her diet as well as being gluten-free? How about soy-free as well? I'd love to talk to you if you're out there. Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I'm gf, vegan and--for the last month--soy-free, rice-free, corn-free and legume-free. I'm also very interested in the macrobiotic principles, though I don't always follow them to the letter. --- On Fri, 1/30/09, Sally Parrott Ashbrook <sally.parrott wrote: Sally Parrott Ashbrook <sally.parrott GF and Macrobiotic?

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Sally, I was strictly macrobiotic in the late '70s and early '80s ... even taught macro cooking for a couple of years ... before I knew I had celiac disease. Although I continue to follow some of the macrobiotic principles for creating balance (eating in season, eating what is appropriate for my health condition, etc.), I can't really follow a strict macro diet now as it is too grain-based for me; I don't do well with grains anymore except for quinoa and occasional brown rice. There was too much salt for me, too (tamari, miso, sea salt). Found out I am salt-sensitive ... it raises my blood pressure terribly. I'm not soy-free ... I still consume small amounts of tofu, tempeh, and soy milk.
