Intensive Weight Loss Plan I have been satisfied with the portions. Most of the time I am not hungry for 4 hours. I have found my sweet cravings are lessened. I am still having a glass of red wine most evenings. Intensive Weight Loss Plan Week 2 Update The best part is that my weight has not been up and down, just mostly down. Previously I would lose 2 lbs, then go right back up. SO far, this is not the case, and I am confident I can lose 5 more pounds before my trip. Intensive Weight Loss Plan Week 4 Update I returned from the trip, up in weight about 1.5 lbs, I was happy with that. We were very active there, walking the hills and biking over the Golden Gate Bridge. I got right back on the program and have been slowly and steadily losing. I have lost a total of 10 lbs, since starting the intensive weight loss program. Although this doesn't seem a lot, it is a huge accomplishment for me, as I have not been at this weight for almost 3 years, despite trying different diets. It also represents the longest I have stayed on a weight loss/eating plan. I am thrilled, my clothes are fitting so much better! I had 2 dinners out last week, one was a work meeting, and one for fun. I chose fish for both meals and loaded up on salad/veggies. I have been exercising 3x week, still need to increase that.
I have been satisfied with the portions and when I need to snack, I have no problem following the recommendations in your introductory packet.
My next goal is to lose 5 more lbs by the end of March, and ultimately lose a total of 10 more lbs.
Many thanks! Feeling Better If you have any pamphlets or card-like promotional items, please include a handful with the next delivery. My office has a community/sharing table and bulletin board, and I'd like to post the information there. When people ask me what I'm eating, I can direct them to the cards instead of writing on napkins... :) I want to respond to your question about any improvements I've noticed. Probably I could communicate this better and more openly in speaking rather than in email, but I'll do my best. The short version is: My body feels better. Being able to have this food prepared is supporting me in developing a healthier lifestyle overall, which is an important goal I set for myself. I think my body is functioning better overall, so I can focus on the things I want to. I feel physically good nearly every day, and that gives me more confidence, and a sense of steady energy throughout the day. I would bet money that my blood sugar is more stable throughout the day, every day, and that is a wonderful change for me. Because I feel great and have more predictable energy, I've been able to do more. I've increased my exercise regime, which was another personal goal. I also have been able to focus well, and let emotions not take hold, so I can set my mind on what I want to. As another bonus for me, not having to go to the grocery store and not having to cook for myself have given me more time during the day, so I'm able to take a couple of computer courses that I wanted, too!
I hope that this is useful for you to know. I'm a big fan of your food and your business. Yummy! Lost 3 Lbs in 1 Week! Week 2 Update Week 6 Update Week 8 Update Dear Macro-Mediterranean, Thank You, Dear Macro-Mediterranean,
I have found most meal delivery plans are very costly, have unhealthy ingredients, and don't have foods I can safely eat. Your service is all of the above and more. You have such caring and wonderful service, being so personable to ensure that your customers are happy and pleased with their food. The delivery option makes it even more worthwile as the last thing a busy professional needs is to "make one more stop" on their way home. For many years I have gone to Whole Foods and spent a fortune on ingredients, identical to yours, then had to find just the right recipe, and chop, peel, and of course clean up. It was exhausting and made me rely on packgaged foods which were expensive, not filling, and unhealthy. I cannot thank you enough for having this wonderful service. The best part of all is looking forward to my food waiting for me when I come home, knowing it was prepared with care and kindness. Ulcerative Colitis Thank You Macro-Mediterranean, Dear Macro-Mediterranean, Thanks! 15 Lbs in 4 Weeks! Missed Your Service! |

Lowering Cholesterol Before I consulted with Macro-Mediterranean, I was completely ignorant about a macrobiotic lifestyle. Now I understand the importance of incorporating whole grains into my diet and the significance of avoiding processed foods. When I shop, I purchase seasonal, locally
grown produce. Although my husband and I still eat conventional foods
(some fish, lean meat and poultry), overall we are eating a much
healthier diet. My husband, who is predisposed to abnormally high
cholesterol levels, has reduced his cholesterol level during the last
few months. Arthritis & Personal Chef Service I first got in touch with Jeremy & Maria at the recommendation of my doctor in October of 2007. I was looking for a way to improve my health and my doctor believed that a Macro-Mediterranean diet would be very beneficial to me. At the time I did not feel ready to change my diet. I was worried I would not like the food or I would feel deprived, so, although I did initially contact Jeremy & Maria to learn about their program, I decided that changing how I ate was not a challenge I was ready for at that time.

Inflammation and Chronic Diarrhea After personally experiencing three months of rapid weight loss and failed diagnoses, my primary care physician suggested I try eating a macrobiotic diet. A daily journal of my eating habits and poor health events suggested my body was reacting as though everything I ate was an allergen. Biopsies eventually confirmed the widespread inflammation. My physician put me in touch with Jeremy and Maria who helped me tremendously. Their insight into what changes in one’s lifestyle must take place, their availability and their patience and nurturing along the way, week after week, made the transition actually do able for me. They supported me with readings, recipes, anecdotes and respect. The changes in my eating are still taking place as I come to accept that I must be fastidious in my dietary choices in order to maintain my health. I was unable to work for 3 months. I am now back at work and approaching the level of stamina I had previous to my body’s attack on me. Weight Loss & Off Blood Pressure Medication Earlier this week the drug regime that aimed at treating my persistent hypertension was changed. My physician dropped the drug, Diltiagem (180 mg daily), from my prescriptions. He feels it is likely that my 20lb weight loss, the consequence of my diet changes since early October 2007, is a likely reason my current blood pressure readings have been consistently normal for several weeks. Thus the decision to drop this drug from my medications list. The changes in my diet have been due to my working with Macro-Mediterranean Holistic Nutrition. They have helped me to achieve things I never would have thought possible at my age (77). I feel the best I have in years. The tireless energy and increased mental clarity have been things I wouldn't have expected. Thank You! Gall Stones, Weight Loss, No Bloating & More Energy I was having severe pain in my abdomen and my doctor diagnosed me with having gall stones. I did not want to have surgery, at least at that time, and she suggested a change in diet might help. My doctor introduced me to Jeremy and Maria (J&M), who introduced me to the macrobiotic way of eating. They immediately e-mailed information to read about macrobiotics, and sent several simple recipes to get me started. My husband was willing to change his way of eating with me... and so we started immediately. The recipes from Jeremy and Maria were simple, and once I found the ingredients, with help from J&M, were simple and quick to make. The most difficult part for me was cooking a new way, but once I settled in my mind to look at this as learning to cook for the first time, it became easier. The pain I was feeling in my abdomen was almost gone. J&M spoke with me weekly, encouraged me constantly. As the weeks went by, more recipes arrived by e-mail, and J&M kept in touch with me. What was helpful is they asked me to keep a journal of what I was eating daily, e-mail it to them, along with questions I had, and they would respond letting me know what I was missing in my diet, and foods to add to it. Recipes were a constant, delicious, easy to make, and very much appreciated. Soon, my husband and I noticed we were losing weight - what a bonus, especially for my husband who has always struggled with his weight and constantly trying new diets. The bonus.... this wasn't even a diet. We were enjoying what we were eating. We found we had more energy. We never felt that bloated feeling you have when you eat too much at dinner. And some of the recipes were so delicious, that we did eat a lot - just never felt bloated. Jeremy & Maria taught us how to change our diets without having to become fanatics. We do not miss the foods we removed from our diet, don't even think about them. J&M taught me a lot about the foods we eat, and how our system digests and uses the nutrients from them. We feel lucky to have met Jeremy and Maria, they have changed the way we look at food, and what to look for when checking ingredients. We are happy to have changed our way of eating and feeling much better about it. Can't even imagine eating the way we used to. As I look back, J&M made the change in eating go quite smoothly.
