It is extremely difficult in the beginning, as you give up alot of your favorite things, but in the long run, we have both seen exceptional results. For myself, not only have I lost weight (but losing weight isn't really the point of macrobiotic eating), my skin and hair look great, I have a ton of energy, my knees no longer hurt, I feel exceptionally great. I've started jogging again, I don't have hot flashes any longer, I sleep through the entire night (I used to have horrible insomnia), and I'm less stressed. My doctor said he could not believe the change in my blood pressure, cholesterol and weight as well as the improvement in my thyroid function, which has always been off the wall (it is not right where it should be and I attribute this to eating sea vegetables every single morning in my miso soup. He is a huge advocate of eating macrobiotically. While not for everyone, it has really worked wonderfully for myself. I was very skeptical at first, but figured I had nothing to lose by trying it. Now, I cannot fathom going back to my extremely unhealthy ways of eating. It's just a matter of making relatively small changes in not only your diet, but your lifestyle as well (yoga, meditation, etc..). I still love pasta, but now eat only whole wheat or Udon.

I can't imagine eating this way long term. This sounds completely unbalanced and unhealthy to me. I can’t imagine eating this way long term.
