Trying it out
23 of 23 people found this review helpful    
I am trying to eat more natural for my environment so I thought this would be a great diet to try. It is hard to follow all of the rules and my family members think I am crazy, but it is an interesting way of eating. Not sure how long I can stick with it though!

Worth the Effort
5 of 5 people found this review helpful    
In a world where "instant" is the mantra, here is a challenge. I have personally seen many miracles with this diet. This forum leaves out Umeboshi Plum Paste and other "staples" of this diet. I was amazed that after a few days on this diet, I felt serene and grounded. It was am amazing feeling- to be at peace with oneself and the world. Yes, it does require extra effort but after awhile it is amazingly easy. Cooking grains and fresh vegetables and adding a few condiments and spices.

A Great Way to Feel Great
15 of 22 people found this review helpful    
While I do not subscribe to the philosophy behind this diet as pertaining to spirtuality and peace with the environment, I do like the idea of balancing foods for better health. Balancing foods allows me to eat a greater variety of foods, which is overall healthier, and allows me to not have to take supplements. Overall, I am enjoying much of the diet, though I eat more meat and tropical foods than traditionallyy allowed. I live where tropical frutis are the local fruit!
