Macrobiotic day log – 08/03/26
5:45 get up
9:00 – 9:40 freshly pressure cooked 80% short rice + 20% millet with salt; water deep fried leek; chewed very well (50-150x), small portion; i was chewing my saliva 500x before the meal
11:40 – 12:15 the same
13:10 – 14:00 walking outside
14:30 – 15:15 miso soup – carrot, daikon, wakame, sunflower oil (1 spoon); today’s grains
16:15 – 18:10 little of grains; finished miso soup; Racio “breads” – it’s a local product, i call them styrofoams, very dry whole grain slices, I eat them with a half of raw chinese cabbage pressed with salt; I can say that I have overeaten by this, but I feel somehow satisfied, not craving for anything; it seems like the raw vegetable aspect (yin) does work for my craving (at least now); it concurs with my reading at the fruitarian forums, where people say, they have no need for overating on the raw food diet, they say they are completely satisfied with the raw vegies and fruits and seeds/nuts
and have no cravings and binges; maybe I should switch my barley malt overeating with raw salads overeating; i will prepare pickled raw cabbage today for tommorow consumption
19:30 – 20:15 grains fried on oil with shoyu + the chinese cabbage salad + small piece of seitan; well chewed
21:00 – 21:20 meditation
21:50 sleep
Not the worst day from the macrobiotic eating view, because I haven’t eaten any simple sugars like barley malt or my favorite oat milk (sweetened). Just lot of raw pressed salad and 3 tablespoons of oil, which is better than malts or fruits I think. But I haven’t adhered to the pause of at least 3 hours after the dinner.
