Macro Mellow is a book designed for many people:- For the person who doesn't know a thing about macrobiotics, but just plain wants to feel better, in spite of the 21st century. - It solves the high cholesterol/triglycerides problem without drugs & is the preferred diet for heart disease patients. - It is the perfect transition diet for those not ready for macro, while another family member must eat it in order to clear their 'incurable' symptoms. It shows how to convert the 'grains, greens, & beans' strict macro food into delicious Western-style food that the kids will eat. This saves the cook from making double meals while one person heals. The delicious low-fat food meals designed by Shirley Gallinger, a veteran nurse who has worked with Dr. Rogers for nearly two decades, use macro ingredients without the rest of the family even knowing.
