Hi Ilanit, Hi Mia,

Thanks to you both for your responses.

Good to know there really are aussie macros! I forgot about macro wholefoods, that is a great place. It is a bit far for me to travel as I don't have car, but i go when I can.

In response to your question Mia, I started being macro just because I liked the sound of it. I have been vegetarian for 7 years and vegan in an on again, off again sort of way for the last 2 years. I started reading 'The Hip Chick's Guide to Macrobiotics' by Jessica Porter, and I was instantly attracted to the concepts, the diet, everything about it. I live with three others, all boys who don't really care about what they eat much. So I cook pretty much always by myself and for myself. I try to feed people whenever I can though - I'm a bit of a Mum like that!

I'd be really interested to go on a macro retreat or go to classes, I'll have to look at the noticeboards as you say Ilanit. I looked up 'macrobiotics today' on the net and couldn't find a site.

I am thinking about moving to Melbourne next year so I'm glad to hear that macro wholefoods is expanding to down there!
