Book Description:
A macrobiotic diet is beneficial not just physically, but spiritually and emotionally. Consisting of nuts, grains, vegetables, and other foods that are primarily whole, living, and unprocessed, it combines foods in a way that balances the body’s energies. Modern-Day Macrobiotics is both a cookbook and a practical guide to understanding and adopting a macrobiotic lifestyle. Along with menus and complete eating plans – including a one-day tone-up, three-day detox, ten-day regeneration diet, and four-month healing diet – it helps readers tailor a diet to their specific needs. Nearly 80 recipes cover every meal of the day, including dessert, and are tagged with icons indicating what types of energy the dish imparts. Colorful reference charts help readers find useful information at a glance. Health benefits; buying and storing ingredients; shortcuts and ten-minute meals; and ordering in restaurants are also covered. Luscious, full-color photographs capture the vibrant flavors of this healthy, delicious diet.

great book by ultrarunnermeri
This book is a fabulous book , i highly recommend it. First off, it is beautifully laid out with the pictures and design. The book explains macrobiotics– theory and diet, very well. Also, the recipes in the back section were great. I have made a few already. One of the best sections discusses how to be more efficient in macrobiotic cooking and meal preparation. When i first started with macrobiotics, i was spending a couple hours a day in the kitchen, but the advice given in the book has really helped me streamline my menus and time. I could not recommend this book more highly than i do!
Modern Day Macrobiotics by D. Gagnon
Good basic introduction on macrobiotics with great recipes. This book has excellent photographs and descriptions of what macrobiotics is all about. If you are fairly new to macrobiotics, this is a great book, however, if you are already familiar with macrobiotics, you will not learn much in this book except to pick up a couple of new recipes. The Hip Chick’s Guide to Macrobiotics is a great second book to read and is very entertaining.
Most excellent and encouraging Macro book ever! by Bickay
This book is most faithful to its title, ‘Modern’ - I have read a lot of materials regarding macro and this is by far the most practical, encouraging, yet very informative book ever. Some macro books are very informative but tend to be too conservative that readers, especially newcomers to macro diet tend to be intimidated or would have difficulty sticking to the diet. This macro book is sensitive to the current lifestyle and offers choices to make going into and staying in a macro lifestyle easier and more fun.
Beautiful Book by Alisa A. Waxman
At last a beautiful book on macrobiotics. Wonderful photographs, great information, easy to follow guidelines and tempting recipes. I am excited to recommend this book to my clients, students and friends. Simon presents a sometimes confusing philosophy in a clear and interesting manner which makes you want to dive in and have a go. This is a must for anyone who wants to make positive changes to their diet and lifestyle. Fantastic!
