Macrobiotic Diet
The philsophies of the Far East and the nutrional schemes of the West combine in planning a Macrobiotic Diet
Throughout the years, many different approaches to dieting have surfaced. Several years ago, a macrobiotic diet was developed by individuals hoping to combine the philosophical principles of Eastern religions with dieting practices in the Western world. This diet calls for very strict proportions of certain foods:
• 50% whole grains
• 25% seasonal vegetables
• 10% proteins
• 5% sea vegetables
• 5% soups
• 5% fruits, seeds, and nuts
This diet plan parallels vegetarianism in many ways, as it advises against too much protein and dairy. As a result, studies have shown that individuals using this diet plan develop lowered levels of vitamin B12, calcium, and magnesium. These are all found in dairy products.
