Question:
If anyone could give me their absolute best tips to lose weight, I would be greatful?
Hi guys, I’m trying to make some BIG changes in my life right now, and one of them has to do with my body: I’m severly overweight and out of shape. I started exercising last week, but I’ve exercised before too and not really lost a whole lot of weight. If anyone here could give me some pointers I’d appreciate it.
Thanks for your time.
Answer:
I am personally eating macrobiotic diet for 4 years and I am completely satisfied. As for the weight loss, we have opposite problem in our macrobiotic community. How to gain weight, but in the healthy way 
On a macrobiotic diet you’ll lose a lot of weight very fast, but still in the best healthy way (from their point of view).
The weight loss point of this diet is, that it’s based on the complex sacharides (polysacharides) - whole grains, vegetables, fruits - as opposite to the simple ones (mono, di) - sugar.
The complex sacharides are going slowly (3 hours) into your blood stream and you have no strong cravings like with the simple sugar.
Try to switch completely to the whole grains, vegetables and fruits.
Use whole grain malts (barley, rice, corn) and maple syrup instead of the sugar.
Use good quality cold pressed oils and no more than 1-2 tablespoons a day.
Limit the salt intake and switch to sea salt. If you eat lots of salt, you will need to compensate it with lot of sugar too. Try to limit the salt only and you’ll see, there’s no such strong need for sugar.
As many people suggested - it more frequently, but smaller portions. This way you’ll achieve stable sugar blood level.
Chew well and eat slowly in a calm environment. Not watching TV, not reading newspapers or surfing internet.
Many tips like this were posted here. I just wanted to show another alternative, that has many books written about and many courses and website tips on the net - macrobiotic.
