eating mainly soups and fish.. is it ok?
Hi you all I'm new here, first post! I'm 22yo male from greece.
I've on macrobiotics for about 5 months now in order to combat depression and what i suspect to be some mild form of scizophrenia. I've been trying many different combinations to see what works best for me and now decided to go as much yang as i can, taking off almost all yin foods. But that makes for a not very tasty diet. Especially after the rice has cooled it is almost impossible to eat.
Today I tried making a soup with brown rice, lentils(i know it's yin but hey i'm trying) carrots, seasalt and turnips. It was awesome, it tasted great, i have more energy than ever, it was easy to digest and it didn't need much chewing which i find to be a dread bore...
So now i'm thinking something in the lines of:
Soups with rice, few beans, root vegetables and maybe soysauce, and miso
Fish almost daily (since it's yang, has b12 and i'm worrying about deficiencies because i used to eat dairys, meat and sugar daily)
what do you think about that diet? does anything seem to be missing? i'm thinking maybe i'm missing alkaline forming foods what do you think? and is it ok if i eat a lot of soups instead of pressure cooked rice or anything? will boiling be destroying too many nutritients, fibres etc?
