Mara. It is the fat and high protein that is causing you most
of the problems. There is probably some discharge attempting
to on as well -- I do not know how long you have practiced macrobiotics but it appears that you are a newbe since you are
still taking supplements and sleep meds. No need for so much protein. Soy has more protein than beef! Protein is causing inhibition of serrotonin release. Complex carbohydrates, on the other hand, aid in the release of the serrotonin neurotransmitter. Protein makes agitated state.
Complex Carbs makes more peaceful state of mind. This has been know for centuries in the Far East. The two pictographs for the word peace are 1. grain and 2. mouth (eat)
The rice cakes are both very yin (expanded, puffed with air) and
drying and this drying attracts liquid and blows up the
intestine and makes digestive difficulties. Their action is similar to yeast foods. Do not use rice cakes on a regular basis, only
for fun food on occassion.
If you really need to have a bread-type product you should make rice kayu bread. You can use left-over brown rice and mix with
freshly ground wheat flour and maybe some left over cooked veggies. Add enough water to make stiff dough and a little salt
and bake. But use only one piece a day. You can put a little vegetable spread mae with a tiny bit of miso on this. No sesame butter -- especially the rancid kind you have! It is the baking part
that you need to get away from.
The hungry part I don't quite understand. Maybe too much salt or possiblitily of intestinal parasites. For the first you need to cut way back on salt, no tamari either. For the second you can take strong mugwort tea three times a day for three days along with
restricted macro diet of 70 % grains and the rest cooked veggies
and miso soup. Three days only. If you can't get mugword, use twenty drops of walnut hull tincture three times per day in cup of green tea, along with restrictive diet for three days only. Most parasites come from raw food eating and eating animal food.
Once you get your hormones, enzymes, and yin/yang straight
you will be fine. Please study macro more serious and find a macro cooking teacher to take classes with in your area.
I hope this helps.
In peace, Roy
