Hello,

This reply is in regards to weight loss while on the macrobiotic diet. I used to weigh 230 pounds. Now I weigh 160. I am 5'9. You should find that you will loose inches, (if you are active) before weight. I find that this "diet" builds lean muscle mass quite nicely.

Try to stay active. You will find it helps with alot of things. I don't eat vegetables every day. But I use a vegetable oil every day, either coconut (great for losing weight, make sure it is cold pressed) and/or olive oil. Fats are essential, as long as they are "clean" fat.

I have never tried 'miso'. I do not even know what it is. I am not on the bounds to try something new, but if it is good for you, then it is.

So, all Ic an say is go for it. No one else's diet is going to work for you for life long changes. It is all abotu what you like and what is good for YOU!

So go for it, explore, don't be afraid to make some mistakes, those are the things that help us learn.

Ciao
