Re: oil or not

options for b-12 and b vitamins I beleive include tempeh, natto, dark barley miso, organic shoyu and tamari, and maybe sea veggies, I'm not quite sure about the last one. It is ok to have a egg once in a while or fish, but one can get good nutrition from the above mentioned items. oil is very yin and therefore should be consumed with regard to ones condition. I beleive most of us need oil, but maybe just on item a day cooked in sucha way. I had been making marinated tempeh and lightly pan frying thin slices, but decided I was eating too much oil that way and began to put them in a casserole dish and put in the oven for a few minute to heat through and dry out the marinade a bit. It is important to not overcook the tempeh or any fermented product, because of the beneficial bacteria they contain.
a concern for messing up a healing diet was mentioned and I want to say that unless you are "terminal" or critically ill such as cancer, I think moderation and a strong understanding of your personal condition will lead you in the right direction. Know what yin or yang energies foods and other things and activities have and what effect they will have on your body. once you have eliminated the non-macro diet, it becomes a matter of careful experimentation within an understanding of what are quality, healthful foods. Don't be afraid, you are already healing by choosing to eat from the right kinds of foods. Your body will tell you what it needs for health.
