What Is A Macrobiotic Diet?

Fruit

Under a macrobiotic diet plan, individuals are only supposed to consume fruit a few times a week rather than every day. As with the other food choices, the fruit eaten should also be organic and locally grown. This means individuals need to pay attention to the seasons to determine what their current options are. Typically accepted fruit under this diet includes apples, pears, peaches, raspberries, blueberries, grapes, watermelon, and cherries. However, this diet recommends avoiding tropical and citrus fruits such as papaya, mango, bananas, coconuts, limes, grapefruit, and oranges. Those who follow a macrobiotic diet also tend to avoid drinking too much fruit juice, if they drink any at all.
