BILLING UPDATE
Due to our recent closure, we sent out your final bill for October 2010 on October 28. In case you haven't already done so, we ask that you please take care of your October bill, so that we can completely close out our October books and now focus on November and December.
Billing for November and December is being combined into one Final Bill for December since we were only open for two weeks in November and will only be open for three weeks in December. (We will be closed December 30 for one week, the week in between Christmas and New Years, and will re-open the first week of January, January 6, with no interruptions or closures again until April 2011). Just look at November and December as one long 5-week month! Time goes by so quickly that I'm sure it will feel like just one month! We will hold all balances from November and send them out with the final December 2010 bill for those of you who pay monthly. For all of you who pay weekly or electronically please disregard this notice and continue following your own payment schedule!

WEEKLY NEWS
The Centers For Disease Control And Prevention reports that the U.S. spent $174 billion dollars treating diabetes in 2007. New projections show that more than one third of U.S. adults could have the disease by 2050. In other words, there will be an estimated 208% increase in diabetes cases from 2010 to 2050. Most of which are diet and lifestyle related.
You don't need to be one of these statistics! Please eat a sensible diet such as the type of food we prepare here at Wholly Macro, and stay fit via exercise and good lifestyle habits!
Always remember, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". And billions of dollars too!

ABOUT THIS WEEKS MENU
Wholly Macro is finally back and re-opening with a delicious and super healthy menu as always!
We want to thank-you all so much for patiently waiting for us while we attended classes in Macrobiotic Cooking and Oriental Diagnosis at the Kushi Institute. We feel sure that all of the time we spend studying and increasing our knowledge base will benefit us all, immediately and in the future, and all of us here at Wholly Macro greatly appreciate your understanding.
 The Black Bean Miso soup is a perfect food for this time of year, black being the color that corresponds to the winter season and our kidneys. Foods that are black in color strengthen the kidneys and are especially good to eat during the winter, which is the time of year that is hardest on the kidneys. The kidneys don't like cold. Eating a steaming bowl of black bean soup warms the kidneys, nourishing and energizing them on a deep and long-lasting level.
We'd like to point out the Sesame Udon and Sea Vegetable dish as well. This is a delicious dish that is full of an assortment of different sea vegetables that each lend their unique color, flavor, and texture to this dish, creating a veritable smorgasbord of mineral rich nutrients from the sea.
 We love the Vanilla Mousse and Carob Ganache Parfait. It is such an elegant dessert. Imagine it served in tall crystal glasses at a dinner party! We can teach you how to make it in a cooking class, or, you can just order it from this menu. We naturally gravitate towards eating hardier food during the winter, yes, even here in Florida. We need to balance the stronger foods with lighter, sweet, and naturally relaxing foods, and this dessert is a delightful way to enjoy the healthy goodness of natural, guilt free desserts.
It was very interesting for us to be at the Kushi Institute, because besides the intensive studying that we do there, we also do intensive eating! They have a full-scale macrobiotic kitchen that puts out three fantastic and perfectly orchestrated meals a day for the staff and students. In other words, while we are there, they do for us what we do for you here!! It is a full on reversal of roles for us! They do all of the meal planning, shopping, cooking, delivery of the food, and clean up. All we do is show up three times a day (in between all day classes of course), and enjoy eating the delicious  food that they prepare! It is such a treat for us to not have to do anything at all food related except eat. We just love it! And eat we do. You have absolutely never seen a dining room more full of slim and trim, healthy and / or healing people, eating huge amounts of food, in relative silence as well, as everyone is busily focusing on eating peacefully while giving their full attention to the food and the energy it is imparting to us, while chewing of course! The positive images of our three-week dining extravaganza inspired our weekly article this week!

WEEKLY ARTICLE
Eat More, Weigh Less,
aka Lean Mean Eating Machines
We think it is safe to say that we would all like to become lean mean eating machines and be able to eat more food and actually weigh less! There are several fairly simple factors involved in this process.
1. Quality Matters. Don't eat nutritionally empty food. It depletes our body's energy in digesting it, and doesn't add a fair exchange in return. Healthy nutritionally packed food creates strong organs that are able to perform their various "jobs" well. Empty food not only wastes our organs energy, it actually depletes it, wearing the organs down until they are no longer able to perform well, resulting in such problems as constipation (weak large intestine), and diabetes (exhausted pancreas). You can be nutritionally starving at any weight. Weight and calories have nothing to do with nutrition on a cellular level. You can very easily be overweight and undernourished, or slim and undernourished, or, you can be the more desirable slim and well nourished, or occasionally, heavy yet well nourished.
2. Eat Slowly and Chew Well. Over eating is a terrible habit. If you slow your pace of eating you can be more aware of when your body feels full and stop eating at that point. Learn the amount of food you need to consume to feel comfortably full and to carry you through to your next meal without hunger, and then sit down to eat that plate of food in a calm and peaceful setting. Chewing releases digestive enzymes via our saliva and helps the digestive organs to break the food down well, sending more nutrients to all of the other organs so that they can also thrive. Digestion really starts in the mouth, not the stomach.
3. Exercise. Not just going to the gym either. We sound like a broken record, but leading an active lifestyle on a continuous daily basis aids in blood circulation, lymphatic flow, metabolism activation, and overall physical and mental health.
4. Eat Whole Grains. Another recording, but an important one that we just cannot repeat enough. A study at Tufts University found that the outer fibrous coating of whole grains, versus refined grains that have had the fiber removed, prevents weight gain by slowing their release of complex carbohydrate energy (fuel), keeping the body full and satisfied, longer. Wholly Macro finds that eventually, whole grains, when eaten daily, will repair slow and sluggish metabolisms. The fiber in the whole grains also flushes fat and cholesterol out of the body. Think: the commercial for Cheerios cereal stating that the (refined) oats in Cheerios lower cholesterol. Of course, the oats in Cheerios are not a whole grain, and don't contain any fiber. But the whole oats that Cheerios are presumably made from do. Thus, the misleading claim!
5. Speaking Of Metabolism: If we eat the right foods in the right way, as briefly outlined above, and as prepared in the Wholly Macro kitchen, we will absorb 80 - 90 % of what we eat. The body is very efficient if given the right tools to work with. Weight loss (deprivation) diets deprive the body of necessary nutrients. The body becomes a super efficient machine when deprived, forced to absorb more from the smaller amount of food consumed. It actually holds onto the food in a usually successful attempt to store it as reserves of fat, and slows the metabolism in order to do so. In slowing the metabolism, the body builds up storage for itself in the form of fat, and weight gain occurs. You are suddenly in the same boat as most of the population: eating less and weighing more! If deprived enough, for long enough, weight loss will occur, but not because of healthy digestion and an active metabolism, but rather from the bodies inability to obtain enough nutrition, thus resorting to depleting its own reserves. And if a slowed metabolism suddenly receives more (unhealthy) food than it is used to, as in when the "diet" ends, it will still be in the slow metabolism "storage" mode giving the false illusion that eating more equals weight gain. It is a vicious and unhealthy cycle.
We hope you can see that keeping the body active, and keeping the digestive system, internal organs, and metabolism strong and active by eating the proper food, and feeding your body enough of it, turns us into the lean mean efficient and enjoyable eating machines we all so long to be!!
In The Best Of Health To You As Always,
