The macrobiotic diet is a dietary intervention that may have potential health benefits.[1][2]
The macrobiotic diet food pyramid was described by Inglis at al. as restricting "fruits, seeds, nuts and fish to once a week or less, while other animal products such as red meat or dairy products are almost completely omitted (117, 118). Processed or refined carbohydrates and sugary foods are also heavily restricted"[1]
Evidence[edit | edit source]
The macrobiotic diet may have potential for cancer-related fatigue, although more research is needed.[1]
