Summary: Beware of know-alls!
Review: Macrobiotics has worsened considerably my long term weight problem.

It's true that my medical condition is rare and it took a loooong time to find out but I was eager to belive in macrobiotics, even when it should be obvious that it was doing me no good. Although I followed the advice of many self-proclaimed experts I was getting sicker and heavier... until I decided to listen to my body.

I had the help of a conventional doctor and now follow a mostly vegetarian diet with the occasional small amount of fish. I drastically reduced the amount of grains in my diet and now eat huge amounts of uncooked salads and fresh fruit everyday, fruit and vegetable juices daily, organic eggs and cheese about twice a week. Despite of all these changes being a macrobiotic no-no I feel and look better than ever.

Read it if you want... but believe first in your body and only then in the "experts".
