The Macrobiotic Diet
Meals
A macrobiotic diet (or macrobiotics), from the Greek "macro"
(large, long) and "bios" (life), is a dietary regimen that
involves eating grains as a staple food supplemented with other
foodstuffs such as vegetables and beans, and avoiding the use
of highly processed or refined foods. Macrobiotics also
addresses the manner of eating by recommending against
overeating and requiring that food be chewed thoroughly before
swallowing.
