How do you structure your meals? cooking?

Cooked brown rice is always on hand. That way I can add a tofu dish with a vegetable or veggie dish. Sometimes there are pickled.

When I've had too much rice I switch to polenta or even oatmeal.

Miso is for those times when I think I'm hungry and I'm really not. Very satisfying.

Do you have a self devised menu plan? or follow one or adapt one from a favourite book?

See above. I try to stick with the rules of the macrobiotics and it seems that everything falls into place.

do you cook spontaneously?

Yes and usually have very good results. Other times I seek out a particular recipe and maybe the second or third time I cook it, if it's a favorite, I'll put a twist on it.

do you have a plan devised my a macro councelor/advisor or have you made your own based on personalised reccomendations by a councelor?

Working on my own and considering taking a macrobiotic cooking class.

most importantly - are you enjoying it?

Absolutely. Had I known about macrobiotics I would have done it a lot sooner. It's such and efficient way to eat and I find it really easy to come up with a meal on the fly instead of settling for say fast food or foods that are not as satifying as a macrobiotic menu.
