The key points for the first 6 weeks of the diet — that is until April 1st, 2013 — include whole grains, veggies, and plenty of exercise. Here's my master list for this initial time period:
1) whole grains
2) vegetables
3) miso
4) wakame
5) seeds
6) nuts
7) Bio-K+
8) lentils
9) water
10) kukicha tea
11) exercise
I'll eat 3 meals a day, eat until I'm satisfied, no worries about quantity, exercise as often as possible, especially after meals, and write about it at the end of each day for 547 days or 18 months!
I'll cook with sesame oil, olive oil, and coconut oil. I'll use macrobiotic-quality condiments such as Ohsawa Nama Shoyu soy sauce, seaweed gomasio, and ume plum vinegar and plums. And I'll start each day with a cup of hot water. Plus, I'll weigh myself once a week.
After the first 6 weeks, I'll reintroduce the following foods as desired:
• whole grain flours and products, homemade or store-bought
• whole wheat toast, pasta, etc. at restaurants
• my special nutbreads
I'll have to make exceptions, of course, when we're traveling, and I'll make special notes about it as we go.
