Wow Zoe, sounds great but I think I would go out of my mind if I

tried to do that. LOL

I do try to chew about 50 times each mouthful and sitting for that

long with a 2.5 year old is next to impossible sometimes.

I haven't been soaking my rice for about a month now since my friend

Sandy (the one doing the cruise) told me that I don't need to and

it's only for certain conditions and he finds that he feels better

since he stopped it. Who knows right? I am thinking of getting

another consultation while on the cruise from someone new but I

don't know who is the best. Michio will be there but sooooooooooe

expensive, and Denny Waxman and Pirello and hmmmmm can't

remember who else. Did I plug the cruise site recently?

> Just eat a bowl of long grain brown rice for breakfast every

morning, chew A LOT (50 - 100 times per mouthful), and eat whatever

you want the rest of the day, and you'll still be better off than

you were. I set my rice on the stove at medium high and it takes 20-

30 minutes to cook. I don't soak, and I use a bit more than twice

as much water as rice, as I cook it uncovered. Keep an eye on it -

when almost all the water is gone, taste the rice to see if it's " al

dente " (like pasta). I like mine firm.

> Try this for a week and see if you notice anything - eating fewer

snacks between breakfast and lunch, a lighter mood. If so, it's

worth doing just that, every day. When you go out to eat,

occasionally choose a Chinese or Japanese restaurant and ask for

brown rice instead of white with your meal. Little changes add up.

> Oh, I think I muddled something. You mentioned about the white

fish feeling the same as the blue fish. When I talked about the

emotional aspect of macro, I was referring to the balance of

neurochemicals this way of eating brings about - you will feel

happier and more emotionally balanced on this diet - not to the

ethical implications of being omnivorous. I'm sorry I didn't make

that very clear. But I became a vegetarian for moral reasons, so I

understand where you're coming from.
