[x]   Transcript: The Macrobiotic Diet focuses on consuming wholesome foods in natural ways. The diet combines foods based on the Japanese principles of balance between yin and yang energy. Since Macrobiotic Dieters believe that every food has energy, each meal contains foods that are thought to be evenly balanced between yin and yang. A guide will help you learn which foods to consume, but a good Macrobiotic meal contains roughly 60 percent whole grains, 30 percent vegetables, and small portions of fish and fruit. The Macrobiotic Diet recommends avoiding yang foods, such as animal products, and yin foods, like chocolate. While the plan sounds challenging, the promise of overall well-being has called many followers, including John Lennon and Yoko Ono. You always knew thinking like a philosopher would lead to wisdom-and now you know it can bring a slimmer figure, too!
