I am convinced that Macrobiotics is the best diet on the planet, if followed fairly accurately. Of course, it varies with each individual. I think Ohsowa was a bit too regimented, but Kushi and Alex Jack are easy to follow.

"Nourishing Traditions" is just another meat based diet. Atkins wrote a review praising the book. that alone would make me suspicious. Any diet that does not emphasize whole plant foods will lead to heart disease, strokes, etc., in my opinion.

Did any of you read "The China Study"? It verifies much of Macrobiotics; teh more plant food and less animal food, teh better. Goal: zero animal food.
