If we all kept food diaries, and wrote in our journals every day, we’d find out some pretty interesting things.

Macrobiotics is about eating balanced meals, in regards to
yin and yang, as brown rice, miso soup and vegetables are
very close to center in combination, and all the ingredients are not so extreme either.

On the other hand, a meal from say, Kelly’s Roast Beef, with fish, fries, fried clams, chicken wings and salad would be a lot of extreme yang, and a bit of extreme yin to go with it (the salad).

After a meal like that, you’d find yourself looking for
a drink, and some dessert, in order to find balance. Of course the body would be stressed dealing with it, so the next day
or so may be a little difficult for you. Arguments, accidents, and symptoms could occur, particularly if this is not how you eat every day.

Try keeping a food journal and keep track of your good days
and bad days. You will be amused and surprised.

Enjoy…
