One unexpected, and very positive consequence of eating a lighter, more macro-vegetarian diet is that my body seems to have the ability to immediately create whatever muscles and flexibility are required for the job at hand, and then let them go when the job is done. No need to be constantly carrying around a beefy, buffed-up body, fully prepared, all the time, for whatever might arise, which was like always carrying around a heavy tool box (or big tool belt) fully prepared for anything and everything.
If you haven’t had this experience it must sound fanciful and ridiculous. All I can offer the incredulous-but-interested is the assurance that you can check it out for yourself simply by diligently following the macrobiotic diet for just three months.
I should say that I wasn’t looking for this experience when I changed my diet, that I did to cure a painful condition, this was a very positive unexpected fringe benefit.
