Hello all!

Hello all peace!

My name is James and I am starting my macro way of living tomorrow. I am a vegetarian for over 15 years and vegan for the last 3 years. I've been playing with the idea of joining the macro way of life but had to wait until my mind and body was ready. Any pointers will be helpful! peace to you all!!

hi james,
the one bit of advice i have, is take it easy... and enjoy every step of the way... i´m sure your enthusiasm will work wonders, it is so nice to see it!!

and remember that macrobiotics is a practice, we are all practicing every day.

peace and brown rice. xx

James, I don't really have any great pointers for you. However I'm sure you won't have any problems since you have already been vegetarian and vegan for so many years.

I went from eating a meat diet for a strict cleansing macrobiotic diet.... I just started my 2nd month so if I can do it you can surely do it!

I have felt fine except for a few days of headache and another few days of foot pain... oh and my tongue top was white for a few days. As I understand this was b/c of the toxin cleansing.

Good luck!

Hi James,
My advice would be to eat in gladness and chew well; listen to your bodies highter wisdom and eat in a peaceful environment. In joy, enjoy! Frank
