Hi Hans,

Glad that you mentioned these 2 books, as it has been a while since I've read them. They are not exactly the same books, although some of the info is covered in both, as Carl Ferre edited "Zen Macrobiotics", while William Dufty edited "You are all Sanpaku". Do you mind telling me what chapter he mentions "refined" veggies? I'll look at my copy, and see if I can decipher. I'm guessing that he's talking about cooking veggies that are easy to digest.

Are you working with a macro counselor? Some of Ohsawa's suggestions do not apply as well today as they did years ago. Remember that few people were jumping on planes, hopping into cars, or even typing away on computers :-) when he wrote.

He was also trying to reach world-wide populations, so many suggestions are general, rather than specific for individuals.

When I finished Diet 7, I started back with pureed veggie soups.
Since we're into colder weather, your body is probably calling for warmer foods.

If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask.
