Macrobiotic Life

Previous day last meal was at 17:00, then I took high speed longer walk (hara walking) in the forest, got to sleep at 21:30 (5 and 1/2 hours after the meal). I was satisfied with the last meal maybe because I used 2 spoons of oil. I fried bread in the oil, added shoyu and ended with fresh chinese cabbage – complete satisfaction and lot of energy and no sweet cravings. I try to eat my last meals like this. End at 17pm and go to sleep around 21 pm and get up earlier, like 5 – 6 am. In this way I will not overeat at night and I can control my sweet cravings through the day much easier than at night. So if I will go sleep earlier I will withhold some portion of the sweets. And it seems to me much healthier time setup – to go sleep early and get up early. I was reading about the history of the Maya civilization and there was daily regime described in the book – they got up at 4 am and immediately went to work on the corn fields until around 14-15 pm. Then they ate their 2 main foods and went to sleep at 20 pm.

6:30 get up
8:00 – 8:50 yesterday pressure cooked oat + rice; boiled carrot + broccoli
11:05 – 13:05 the same grains + little shoyu + little sesame oil + dandelion, chives and daisy; 1 teaspoon of natto; fried bread in 1 spoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of shoyu + lot of raw chinese cabbage; roasted seeds + barley malt (3-5 tablespoons) well chewed – not a good day with sweets again but i am going to physicaly work a lot now, so at least I will compensate for this a little
physical work around the house (old windows demolition)
17:20 – 18:50 miso soup – carrot, parsley, onion, wakame, sunflower oil; lot of freshly pressure cooked brown rice + barley + lentils (soaked overnight)
19:40 I have sweet cravings, but I am sleepy, so I can manage it by telling myself, that I will rather go to sleep than to eat anything.
22:00 sleep
