Roy: About Circadian Rythms

Posted By: David on January 20, 1998 at 07:14:58:

Hi Roy,

I know you've dealt with the subject of Fit For Life many times and are probably sick to daeth of it. My question is of the circadian rythms, or natural body cycles, that they rely on so heavily to argue for eating the fruits.

If the body is in a natural elimination phase during the hours of 4:00 am - noon, how does the eating of a breakfast, which according to Kushi's books might include miso soup with various vegetables, steamed vegetables, and pan fried tofu be suitable for elimination? How would this not be against the cycle? Could you explain in lay terms.

I understand how the fruits are too Yin according to macrobiotics, and for many people simply contain too much sugar and jolt their bodies. Could you walk me through some breakfast possibilities or at least give me some reccomendations on books or web sites on this. Thank you very much.

David
