Macrobiotic is not about eating Japanese food but about adapting the ideas to your lifestyle. It is a wonderful system which sounds complicated but is very simple. George Oshawa, its founder, picked up many Ayurvedic ideas during his stay in India. So there are many similarities. There is no recipe book for Indian Macrobiotic but there are a few practicing in India, including me ! Improvise & use your imagination to cook Indian foods with Macrobiotic principles. Simple, whole, natural, organic & balanced are key to a Macrobiotic approach to food & life.

Thank you. Will need to know your present intake & other specific reports to give any advice in a situation as you have described. Replacing refined with unrefined (of your current diet) as suggested in the box will in anycase help. Brown rice is highly recommended as a balanced food for all. Please do not underestimate its value in prevention & cure.

If you are not too uncomfortable with your physique then you should be happy you have no health issues. If you rest & relax a bit more, you my find it will help. In anycase, it is a long-term plan. A balanced natural diet, loads of sunshine & good activity will give you the best possibilty for a fuller physique. Often as you grow older the body fills out but not if you tend to stress & worry a lot. I recommend not thinking about your physique too much. Often that is the best way to gain weight.

It is a super supplement you have decided to take because it is a whole food, not just an extract or part of a food. Therefore it is the only one that I have been recommending. It is best taken in powder form which is sold by Conscious Food (www.consciousfood.com). Begin with just a pinch a day with honey or in nimbu-pani. You can take upto half a regular teaspoon once a day. Your body needs to get used to it because it is a powerful food. Listen to your body once you start taking spirulina. It can be had at anytime of the day with any meal you like or even without a meal. Sincerely, this is the only supplement but you can add good whole organic foods to your diet like alfalfa sprouts, flax seeds, brown rice and the like. See the Conscious Food list of natural foods to know of other healthy options. Also please read my basic guideline that is on this page.

All problems begin in the mind & especially skin problems. Please deal with what bothers you. Get to the root cause. Homeopathy is excellent for this. Find a good doctor. Remember that within 48 hours of any medicine you should feel some change for the better otherwise change the doctor. Foodwise: do not eat the foods that you feel cause the problem & read my basic guideline. Do agnihotra (shivpuri.org) and also use its ash for your skin. It works wonders.
