Hello Anyone & Everyone,

I have read thorough the forum and noticed few people who complained of sore necks from lots of brown rice intake. I have developed a sore and achey body (especially around neck and shoulders) and my lack of energy has dropped to the point I almost would think I was sick. This started on the 2nd day of doing Macrobiotics. I am also irritable and going to bed at 9;00pm and waking up at 7:00am and still feeling exhausted. I have been vegetarian (and i dont eat refined sugar)all my life, and have tried different detox's in the past, and usually I would feel somewhat sluggish the third or fourth day in, but then I would regain energy after and feel fine. Not this time. My husband is quite concerned (he is not on it) as he has noticed quite a change. I have been eating lots of brown rice (usually 2-3 cups throughout the day), sea vegetables, cabbage salads, some almonds, millet, some hummus, tofu, miso soup as well as butternut squash and cauliflower soups, and I am drinking bancha and kukicha tea. Should I give up? HELP!!
