Book Reviews of The Hip Chick's Guide to Macrobiotics: A Philosophy for Achieving a Radiant Mind and a Fabulous Body

Book Review: pretty good book, not convinced to become "macrobiotic"
Summary: 4 Stars

This book is humorous, yet not convincing. I do indeed 'chew' all of my food alot more after this read, but just because a cup of grains sitting on the counter doesnt rot as fast as an apple doesnt necesarily make it better. One absurd point this author makes is that if we eat meat, then we will want to kill everyone and everything and turn into to war mongrels. All I can say is "WHATEVER" like that makes any sense at all. I LOVE eating healthy, I love fasting a few times a year, I am almost obsessed with all of the wonderful things healthy food can do for the human body. If you really want a good book on super foods may I suggest Bottom Lines Super Foods RX, I forgot the authors name. However if you want to know how wheat grows in a comical sort of way, maybe the "The hip Chicks guide to macrobiotics" is for you. All in all, I am glad I read this book, perhaps i will adapt some concepts the author has offered, but not all. Oh, I do plan on trying a "rice fast" for 14 days and chewing each mouthful 50 times.

Summary of The Hip Chick's Guide to Macrobiotics: A Philosophy for Achieving a Radiant Mind and a Fabulous Body

Heralded by New York magazine as one of the city's most popular diets, macrobiotics has become the latest trend in dieting, thanks to high-profile supporters like Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Speaking to the generation of young women looking to extend their healthy lifestyles beyond yoga and Pilates, macrobiotic chef and instructor Jessica Porter offers fresh, contemporary, and accessible insight into one of the world's oldest, yet most popular, diets. She explains that by eating good quality whole foods, any woman can experience physical, sensory, emotional, and intellectual freedom.

The effects of eating a macrobiotic diet can extend beyond basic health to weight loss, beauty, better sex, and peace of mind. Cooking tips and recipes are combined with Jessica's no-nonsense philosophy and witty anecdotes to create a lifestyle book that will inspire women to hit the kitchen with an understanding of how to strengthen their minds and bodies through food.
