Friday July 17, please join us for a special evening’s lecture, Menu Planning Essentials, July 17, 7:30-9 pm The Rueff Home, 1130 Trailridge Lane, Dunwoody, Georgia 30338

Always participants request this menu-planning class every time Warren visits. It truly is one of the most important lectures. Why? Because all the theory from macrobiotic books has to actually happen in the kitchen. In YOUR kitchen, to be exact. And Warren’s Menu Planning Class is key! Based on his years of working with Michio Kushi and Denny Waxman, Warren guides us step by step using the principles of yin and yang according to Macrobiotic guidelines. Involving our input in the process. Yes, this is an interactive lecture.

See it this way: we’re implementing a new way of eating, and especially considering we have health concerns to correct, eating well-planned meals becomes essential. The hit-or-miss-grab-whatever-is-ready-to-gulp-down when we come home from work is history. We can do better than being too famished and tired to cook. Now we want a welcoming meal, featuring the best food choices. Because now we know better. And now we are using macrobiotic principles to enhance our health and well-being. You see, macrobiotics is a way of eating based on the energetics of food. That is to say, it’s based on how the foods make us feel after we eat, and what kind of energy we have the next day, too. What kind of energy the food charges our bodies with. Way different than a calorie or carb or protein based diet like most of the new-fad diets circulating the last few years, don’t you think?

Your macrobiotic diet is very special, and Warren’s presentation of developing macrobiotic menus for you and your loved ones is truly an art, and it’s very easy to adapt. From this plan you will learn to shop for your week. Even how to substitute foods according to the season and what’s available organic. Plus you reap the benefits of being with this group and hearing their keen experiences cooking macrobiotic diet. Warren actually plans with the group a whole weeks worth of meals! Yep, we do it together, so turn your thinking cap on. You’re going to experience where to start when planning a meal, and the logical steps from there. It’s way different than you may think, much easier, and funner too!

Warren will share such enlightening information regarding the heart, including visual diagnosis of heart health, healing foods, remedies and activities supporting the heart. He will also discuss how this amazing organ, known as the fire element of our body, increases in activity for the summer  – and what this means to each of us. Especially as we near late summer. And of course we’ll also learn how the heart is the rhythm keeper in our lives, affecting our love and joy.  Warren will answer your questions, and even more special, he always tells us the why and how of everything. That’s one of his specialties, and you’ll hear me introduce him as the Why Man of Macrobiotics!

How special an evening this will prove! And we thank Wendy Steinbaum, long-time macrobiotic supporter for recommending Mellow Mushroom, a favorite of her’s and Aubrey’s! We look forward to seeing you  July 15!

Thursday July 16, please join us for a special evening’s lecture, Sweet Seductions – Breaking the Sugar Addiction, July 16, 7:30-9 pm at the Rueff Home, 1130 Trailridge Lane, Dunwoody, Georgia 30338. A special topic for Warren is a natural from his intense research on hypoglycemia which earned him great respect from his colleagues and clients. This incredible expertise extends to the amazing material Warren has gathered to speak on sugar addiction. So vital today! Can you believe the average person today consumes 147 pounds of sugar annually? Yes, people are caught in a sugar addiction – as Warren explains, take that morning sugar away, and watch people barely being able to move in the morning. One of the worse foods we can consume, Warren explains how to step off the sugar roller coaster ride once and for all. He will describe the difficulty our health endures when we consume sugar. Knowing this valuable information is very helpful when we are choosing a different and healthier macrobiotic diet and lifestyle. You will learn healthy alternative sweetners as well as satisfying sweet dishes and beverages far easier on our bodies, relaxing and helpful to our health. We will serve a delicious non-sugar dessert and tea recommended on the macrobiotic diet! Maybe you can even guess the source of minerals in this yummy dessert! You’ll find out in Warren’s lecture!

Suggested reading: Sugar Blues, by William Dufty, journalist and husband to Gloria Swanson, writes the history of sugar, and how the ill effects of sugar have been known hundreds of years.

The Macrobiotic Path to Total Health, by Michio Kushi and Alex Jack

Sometimes we purposely want ‘em, and sometimes they just show up by mistake, but we all have leftovers sometimes. No matter how carefully we plan our recipes and cooking quantities. The trick, especially when cooking for ultimate health, and even to overcome a serious illness, is learning to deliciously prepare your macro leftovers!

My Macrobiotic Cooking Class Creative Use of Leftovers ~ Quick Easy Dishes is certainly an important way to stretch our food budget. Especially buying organic foods, and high quality Macrobiotic products, we want to use all the food we’ve prepared! And when you can truly enjoy your leftover dishes, you have a win-win, all the way!

Some diehards just toss everything out, but I even heard Michio Kushi, time and again in group and private consultations, suggest using leftover grain for breakfast porridge. Even to very ill clients. He had a reason. Maybe several.

First of all, it sure makes breakfast a whole lot easier to handle early in the morning if your grain dish is already welcoming you to your kitchen from it’s trusty little pot! Good morning to you too, dear Grain! Thanks for being here, and making my morning a little quicker! Quess the second reason. Would you believe easier digestibility? Yep, that’s it. As your grain sits overnight on your counter, covered by a bamboo sushi mat, it’s actually beginning to ferment, thus making it even more digestible than when freshly made.

This month’s Macrobiotic Cooking Class ~ Creative Use of Leftovers ~ Quick Easy Dishes addresses the big picture of Leftovers! We’ll answer your leftover questions, including excellent guidance about do’s and don’ts with leftovers! And recipes so yummy your Leftovers can shout Extra, Extra, Read All About US!

Lectures and Cooking Classes with Warren! Once you’ve attended one, you’ll be hooked like we are! This guy is fresh off the Macro Cruise where he was booked around the clock and lectured to standing room groups. And why not? Warren was private assistant to Michio Kushi nearly 12 years, a non-paying position, for one dedicated individual to learn from the Master! Scribing notes during counseling sessions from early morning til the wee hours – and he learned it so well.

And there’s so much more to Warren, than just that! You’ll hear it all when you join us. In fact, Warren is now the Senior Counselor Michio recommends for counseling. Yep, Michio’s handed it over to Warren. So come join us in Atlanta and reap the benefit of all those counseling experiences. Check out this website event times, places.

So, why attend a class about breakfast! What’s so special about this one meal to warrant a Macrobiotic Cooking Class called Breakfast of Champions. Numerous reasons! One of the first questions asked about Macrobiotic Diet is: what do you eat for breakfast?? do you really have miso soup in the morning? What’s wrong with dry cereal and skim milk for breakfast?

Want the skinny on breakfast? Ever notice Dunkin’ Donuts logo: we get you up and keep you going! Sure do! All that sugar and caffeine, and guess what happens to our blood stream at 11:00 AM & 3:00 PM? Hypoglycemic dip ~ we are falling on our face, and needing what??? Another coffee break: latte, donuts, breakfast bars to get us going ‘til lunch.

And now, folks, here’s the Macro take on breakfast: providing sustainability. How would soaring energy til 12:30 or 1:00 fit your bill! Perform all morning, and be the wiz at work, home, home-schooling, driving without dozing, exercise/yoga/walk strongly. In other words, enjoy peak performance throughout your day.

Easily achieved with a macro breakfast: composed of a grain and a vegetable. Our rice and other whole grain, warm nourishing dish would keep the 3 bears and Goldilocks happy forever! And you too. Delish and sweet without sugar, it’s so easily digested we can concentrate on tasks at-hand, rather than sluggishly, barely being able to navigate through the morning. Looking for the donut cart to peel around the corner. Vegetables for breakfast??? you ask. I know it seemed so different to me too, but just think about it. Veggies get the digestive tract moving, so what better time than first thing in the morning? And speaking about time, wanta know the best time for eating breakfast? Best before 8 AM. Between 5-7 AM, and we’ll explain more about this in the class. Really Creamy Porridge that’s Not Oatmeal – oatmeal is sooooo mucous forming we just save it for when we’re traveling and can’t get our other grains!

Here’s more about the selections & health benefits you will learn in this Macrobiotic Cooking Class: Breakfast of Champions
