Haven't been seriously practicing macrobiotics ever, just have always tried to eat whole foods and to keep a healthy balance. Am approaching it with more seriousness than ever because of my problems right now. I'm taking supplements because these were recommended for my sleeping, meds for same reason -- because I was really desperate for anything to help me out, and I think the supplements have been, so I'll continue to use them. But the sleeping pills I am happy to get rid of.
I have always been told to eat protein (not necessarily animal -- I mean, nuts, beans, etc) to stabilize blood sugar, if hypoglycemic. Also if active, important for rebuilding muscle after exercise. When riding my bike a lot, or doing lots of hiking, I would eat nuts and sometimes cheese for this reason. Are you saying that this isn't ever necessary?
