Re: oshawa 7
Iula,
I hope someone better acquainted with the physiological part can explain it to you. From my understanding, the strict mb diet will help clear out the toxins by creating a "cleaner" inside so everything can move and function better, organs won't be blocked from what they need to do. Also from what I understand too much water taxes the kidneys.
From what I've read so far in the #7 Diet, 3 small cups of bancha tea are recommended, tho in other parts of the book I recall her saying to drink the least amount what is comfortable. She also recommends mu tea and lotus root tea, and and kuzu tea. Different kinds of coffee are also mentioned (hatto, yanoh, bardan, rice, barley) Water is not one of the drinks she talks about.
Buckwheat is another grain that is mentioned - I believe that's the same as kasha??
on p. 127-128, she warns of "be(ing) careful of (certain) errors", of which she mentions: "over-restricting beverage consumption for a rapid recovery, then suddenly slackening the restriction. This is characterized by drinking large quantities of liquid." She also empahsizes cooking grains on the dry side so one is encouraged to do thorough chewing.
She also mentions different condiments (pickles, tekka, gomasio, tamari) but very limited amounts - even tiny tiny amount of seaweeds and azuki beans, but again that depends on which diet, she mentions so many variations.
It's kind of funny, the statement you made about not wanting to hear it from books, but from a real person's experience. Aren't the books based on real person's experience?????
Do you have a macrobiotic group in Romania? I know there is an active one in Hungary. I can send you the e-mail address if you are interested.
