Healthy Eating Style : Macrobiotics

My friend is doing Macrobiotics. In macrobiotic diet, they eat grains as a staple food supplemented with other foodstuffs such as vegetables and beans, and avoiding the use of highly processed or refined foods. (borrowed from Wiki)
Macrobiotics is originated from Japanese cuisine. I am Japanese, so macrobiotics food is familiar to me. Eating Genmai, (brown rice) Miso soup, Nimono, (simmered food) & pickles doesn't bother me at all, but because of my husband (american) I can't give up some meat, eggs, coffee, milk, cheese, all no-no for the Macrobiotics diet.
I try to eat at least Genmai (brown rice) and I have been eating Genmai for nearly a year, my asthma is much improved.
I recommend everybody to at least know the word Macrobiotics and their philosophy and have a healthy life.
