The Oshawa Diet #7, also known as Macrobiotic Diet 7, is a 10 day detoxification process involving eating only whole grains; such as barley, buckwheat, whole wheat, millet, oats and brown rice.
We use only brown rice for it's amazing Anti-Inflammatory properties and to make it a bit more of a challenge.
This diet is excellent to clean the blood of toxins, to make the system more YANG and to develop qualities of Manipura Chakra. Meaning that this 10 day detox diet can rid the body of bad bacteria, boost the immune system, increase will power, determination, mental concentration and assertiveness.
We use it as part of our practice to purify and boost our energy and it was one of the main contributors to Clelia curing herself of Crohn's Disease.

Thanks for your fantastic video, I've had Ohsawa's #7 brown rice fasting long time ago when I had tumor in my uterus, I was in 40's now I'm 71 and have high cholesterol high BP and ashma I'm going to take #7 fasting again, I recommend to anybody has chronic illnesses you should try this way of life, very healthy and simple easy no needed medication or doctor visit it changes your total body inside out, the whole principal Yin Yang philosophy in the East is never gets old. It cures cancer, diabetes, heart diseases, arthritis....
Thank you, Linh, for sharing your story and experience with using the #7 diet. While I'm sure it was not an easy moment, it's super inspiring to hear of your results!
I wish you great strength and balance as you approach this detox again. Sending you our love 🙏💞
Hi. Just wondering if it worked second time around? I did it way back in the eighties but never quite got there again. Willpower decreased apparently with age.😊
It's my favourite diet, I always feel great on day 10, like I could go on forever on rice and wheat seeds, no cravings and addictions. My auntie cured her psoriasis and vitiligo with oshava. She was alternating 10 days fruit and vegetables with 10 days oshava. Her skin and body completely changed in a few month.
That's amazing to hear! Something profound changes once we get past those challenging days hey! 😉
It's incredible how much what we eat can influence how we live, and yet there is so little about it in our education systems.
I am currently on Day 7! And going into this I had intentions to detox, and clear up my stomach issues. So far I can feel my body transformation as the days progress. I am hoping I can clear up the digestive issues and reset this body! Thank you for the information, honestly I can’t wait to eat boiled zucchini after all this rice! 😂 much love and light 🙏🏼
Amazing Marry! Great work! I'm happy to hear that you are taking up this diet and I hope it helps you to reset your digestive system! Make sure to go gentle with re-introducing foods. Boiled zucchini sounds delicious after 10 days of brown rice 😍🙏
Did you lose any weight by following this diet?
I have performed diet 7 many times as a youth. It is a great learning experience. Most important is learning how to chew each mouthful of rice at least 50 times and experiencing the starch becoming simple sugar before swallowing. You will become meditative. Chewing was considered to be meditation by George Ohsawa. You learn simplicity. But, salt, gomasio, tamari, miso, seaweed, cinnamon, turmeric, bancha tea, were never apart of the number 7 diet. It really was just rice. You could roast rice on an iron skillet, and make tea out of it, and eat the roasted rice. And, if you can’t make it, other grains can be added. Millet I found to be too light. Buckwheat is a nice concession if you cannot stay with the rice only. Also, George allowed any kind of rice, even white.
Hi Shianka, yes is true this diet is magic and there are many different small variations that can be done with no completely change the effects. Anyway I believe that the effects in the end are always rewarding! 😊 Thanks to share your experience with us! Love & Light 💗🌞💗
Interesting, thank you! Do you think this 10-day-cleanse could help with digestive issues like chronic constipation?
Hi 😊 it can, but I will include the miso soup and seaweed at every meal to keep all more moisture. For sure it will help to reseat the stomach and in a bad scenario nothing will change…I personally will give a try…of course this is just a suggestion, I’m not a medical expert and of course this diet will not substitute any medical advice or cure. 😊🙏
@@RefeelYoga Thank you for your kind answer! Can you recommend a book or website to specifically learn more about Diet No. 7? - Like including miso soup and seaweed....
I’ve done this 10 day brown rice fast a couple times , and it is truly transformative on every level- mind , physical, emotional. Thinking of doing it again soon
I love it, usually I do this diet every 6 months. Is always a challenge, but truly rewarding! 🌸🍀🌸 Love & Light Clelia
Thank you Clelia & Andrew . We going to try this next week. Looking forward to try this. Lots of love Vicky & Moon from Belgium. ❤️🙏
Good luck guys! 🙏✨
Are you going to combine it with the 10 day challenge starting on Monday!? 😉😉
Feel free to write to us if you have any questions or would like some extra guidance!
And we're still looking forward to meet with you both to discuss Tantra, when you're ready 💞
refeelyoga@gmail.com
@@RefeelYoga Hi, thank you for responding so quickly to our message. We are indeed going to combine this Monday with the 10 day Challenge. Exciting 😀. Nice to know that we can get extra guidance if needed. We will send you a mail about the tantra later on. Greetings from us.❤️🙏
@@ibnfakihmohcine2556 Wonderful! Looking forward to seeing you in the stream ❤️🙏
@@RefeelYoga ❤️🙏
Great let us know how is going. Love & Light Clelia
I've done the cleanse before. I'm beginning it again, now. I actually see it as a refreshing change from the daily routine.
Yes! It's a great way to reset and refresh ones relationship with food 💗
5 days in… this commitment cultivates awareness, the shadow portion of the subconscious becomes increasingly observable as the days progress. It is a wonderful companion for dismantling neurological connections to limitations. In combination with frequent return to a zero point state one can regain any misplaced capacity to access the will. What normally would result in a sleep state of habitual unconscious at the very least becomes recognizable to connect with the programmed aspect of the self. The programmed portion of consciousness is becoming frustrated as it struggles to maintain it’s established habitual process. Over all, a liberating and energetically educational experience. Highly recommended to anyone.
Amazing bro! Your eloquent description is very relatable. This process definitly shines light on a lot of mental programming. In the next day or so it's not uncommon to experience a massive shift as the programs fade away, emotional attchments shift and desires are relinquished. You're in the heart of it now! Stay strong. I have no doubt that you will prevail.
@@RefeelYoga Andrew bro… this is wild. Temporary insanity. I can feel the fire burning. Breaching the fat barrier. The anger is completely hilarious like a child throwing a tantrum inside. For the past couple days I felt really stubborn and this is mid transition and the tension in my body is pouring out and momentum is recognizably halting and turning around. I’ve only used 1 pot, 1 utensil, 1cup and 1 bowl. I haven’t cleaned up in days yet there is no mess being made so the energy is visible physically all around. 🤯 (this dude says it all)
Hi Andrew, just finished the 10 days of rice and it went so well. It went so well for me that I motivated others to do it too 😄
My friend's son is 14 and would love to do the diet.....may this already given his age?
Lots of love from us 2
Vicky & Moon
🤍💫🤗💪😀💚
Hi Vicky, glad that you guys succeed on that, but I will not suggest this diet for a 14 year boy. I truly believe that at that age there is not need to detox, actually we need to give them high quality food full of all the nutrients that they need to grow healthy and strong. 🙏 Namaste Clelia 💗
Hi! Thank you for your interesting video! I have hyperthyroidism (Grave's disease), and as far as I have read it is because of too much yang in the body. Will you recommend this diet for me? Kind regards from Nathalie
Hi Nathalie I honestly don’t have any knowledge in hyperthyroidism. I can tell you that this diet helps with inflammation of the digestive tract, and have high detox properties. I’m not a doctor or a nutritionist to give you this kind of advices. 🙏
Oh, one more question: can I take supplements during this 10 days diet? Or it’s better to take after?
Thanks again 💖💖
I think most supplements should be avoided during this time
Hello Dear, I agree with Andrew more clean is the diet and more effective will be...Love
Thank you!!! About to begin mine ❤️
Great choice, let us know how is going! Love & Light 💗
What about eating the genmai 'rice soup' they serv in chinees clinics , its made with few vegis , marrow bone and lots water , cooked until rice explodes and thickens the soup...its easier to digest and usefull for those who have issues to chew lots it makes it easier
I'm sure there could be value in a diet like this, however, it's very far from what is the Ohsawa Diet #7 Seven. To stick to this diet there should be only whole grains eaten (brown rice, buckwheat, etc.) The only other things that may added along within this diet are salt, gomazio and miso. No vegetables, no bone marrow, and very little water should be taken in this diet.
Hello Clelia & Andrew ! First of all, thank you for the video it is very informative and has a different approach from the other videos I have found.
My question is: is it ok to do this process before or even during the menstruation cycle? I am confused if it would be beneficial or not.
Thank you!
Hello Débora thank you, I’m glad that you enjoy the video and teaching 😍🙏🍀 and yes totally ok to do the diet in any moment, also during your menstruation. Let us know how it will go if you will do it, and if you need any support just write to us. Love & Light 🙏🍀🌸
do you still do this now and then? I started two days ago with mainly buckwheat but also rice and millet… nothing else has helped me from my issues and years ago I healed with this chronic pancreatitis so lets see if it still works😊
Hi 😊 yes I usually do it at least one time for year and when I feel that I need. 😊 Is always nice to give some rest and reset to the digestive system. 😊🙏
Hi, I am on day 2 of the Ohsawa #7 diet. I am hoping to cure my eczema. I am eating brown rice and will start drinking Mu Tea from Ohsawa's book. My grandpa did this diet many years ago and he did it for 30 years and is completely cured of his eczema. Can you both go more in depth on what we can eat, how to cook, and for how many days we need to eat when we break the diet? I really want to make sure I do things safely so my eczema doesn't come back. Thank you for your video!
Hi Amanda, I'm glad that you decide to give a try to this diet, for sure at the physical level can be helpful for start the process of haling for your eczema, however remember that to have a full process complete is important to approach the physical symptom from different point, in an holistic way, so from physical, mental and emotional level. Why do you have it? Where come from? What I'm try to defence or protect? and so on....regarding the after diet you will find reference at 21:35 in the video. Have a good day. Clelia
Sometimes excema can come from worms in which case osawa duet will definitely help, but sometimes it comes from an emotional issue that needs to be recognised and resolved. Hypnotherapy can also be helpful particularly for the emotional aspect. Did you get any relief fro m the Osawa no 7 diet?
Thank you, Clelia, for sharing your experience 🤗🙏💖. I’m going to start this 10 days diet starting from January 7th (as a part of New Year Resolution).
I was wondering if I can combine this diet with the coming up 10 days Challenge “New Year New Me”? Wouldn’t be that too much for the stomach and Manipura Chakra? What would you suggest?
Another question is - what was / is your diet AFTER 10 days of Ohsawa diet?
Thank you so very much again, Clelia and Andrew, for sharing your experience, your time and your beautiful energy 🙏💖💖.
Hey Svetlana!
So I (Andrew) will respond to you first and Clelia will probably tell you something different afterwards 😝
First off, I'm super excited for you to do this diet and can't wait to hear about your experience with it! I'm also pretty excited for you to join in this challenge haha
In my opinion I don't think there would be any reason that YOU could not do both. I'll tell you, this New Year New Me 10 day challenge will be centered around the Wake Up Series, which we did a couple times in the 14 day challenge. So you're already familiar with the practice, we will just go into a journey of progressively expanding it and I will add in some other philosophical "stuff" ;)
Since the challenge starts on the 4th and you want to start your diet on the 7th, you can follow along with the challenge for the first 4 days and see for yourself if you want to combine the two. At the minimum it will act as a good preparation for the detoxification process. And you can always redo the challenge later! But personally I think they will support each other quite well.
If you do choose to do both and find some day that the diet is really taking your energy (maybe day 5 or 6) and you don't have motivation to do the practice, you can take a rest, sit in on the livestream to still be in the energy with us. And just eat your rice and enjoy 💞
As for the post detox diet, I will let Clelia go into the details of what is best to eat and to avoid when she writes you back.
Sending my love 🙏💕
@@RefeelYoga
Thank you very much, Andrew, for your detailed reply (us usual 😊👍💖💖).
It motivates me to do both - challenge and diet. Unfortunately, I can’t join to life stream - I’m studying at 11:00 am (Toronto time). But I will definitely do the practice later, after my online classes.
Looking forward to Clelia’s respond about diet 💓💓.
Thanks again, guys 🙏😊. Love you both
💖❤️❤️💖
Eventually I agree with Andrew, you can try to combine the 2 things with awareness, if you feel to much depleted or tired maybe listen your body and take care about yourself, viceversa sometimes happens that because we are detox the body from heavy energy, we feel more energetic and lucid then ever. The key, I suppose is Awareness, be presente and knowledge whatever is there. After the diet everything different than rice will make you feel heavy....it will take a couple day to go back completely....usually I try to eat cook vegetable, like zucchini, pumpkin, lentil, dall, soup with mix vegetable, fruit like watermelon or apple and pear in winter time are more suggest. And Eventually go back to a normal diet. Personally I don't eat meat, and really try to avoid any process food, no soda or bottle juice, avoid as much I can dairy (also if some time i eat a bit of cheese) I eat pasta, no every day but couple time for week.. After 8 years in Thailand, go back to Italy or here in Canada for me is a bit a shook and took me several week before find again balance. I notice that every thing in the grocery store are extremely process....for exemple the coconut yogurt, or the jam, or the bread are full of many unnecessary ingredients....in Phangan we was able to find every thing home made and fresh. Anyway I'm sure that is always possible to find the way to be healthy :) Big Huh and Kiss Clelia
@@cleliap.7879
Thank you very much, Clelia 🙏😊💗, for your detailed reply. I’ll follow your post detox diet advice 👍.
And yes, I agree with you - most of the food in here is extremely processed. That’s why I do my grocery shopping in healthy food stores, not buying any processed food; I prefer to make my own, homemade 😊. Basically my diet is pretty much healthy: i never drink soda beverages or bottled juice - I prefer herbal teas. I eliminated gluten and dairy from my diet long time ago. Coffee and meat is the next step 😅. That’s another New Year resolution 😊. So yes, I absolutely agree with you - it’s always possible to find the way to be healthy. And happy 😃.
Thanks again, huge hug 🤗 and lots of love 😊🙏💖💖
This video was well put together ! 💜💛💯 thank you. Do u both eat a macrobiotic diet ? I love brown rice.
Thank you. We are not following a strict macrobiotic diet. We are vegetarian, but once in the year I (Clelia) like to do the Ohsawa diet to balance my digestive system again 😊
@@RefeelYoga - that sounds great !
I’m starting this diet tomorrow, January 7-th... Wish mi luck! 😂🤞. The only change I’m making - I’m adding to my diet buckwheat and oatmeal, but brown rice is going to be the mostly taken food. And one question: I’ve found information that doing this Ohsawa diet you can take some mint and basil tea. Is this correct? Have you taken any tea on this diet?
Thank you very much, Clelia, for sharing your story and helping us keeping healthy 😊🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Svetlana, sorry for the late reply, what I know is that eventually you can drink Bancha tea, roasted barley, roasted rice, or water with a bit of salt. I usually drink turmeric hot water for the hight anti inflammatory properties, Andrew prefer water and cinnamon. Honestly I’m not sure about mint or basil, but usually are plant that are excluded from same diet, especially mint...but this is just my opinion, I don’t really know a lot about this 2 herbs...
Hope that this will help. 🙏 Love & Light 💗🍀💗 Ps how is going the diet? 😊😊😊
@@cleliap.7879
Hi Clelia 💓. Thank you for your reply and advice 🙏😊. I’ve heard about Bancha tea, but couldn’t find it. I’ll follow your advice and will try hot water with turmeric and cinnamon. I like them both 😊💕. By roasted rice and roasted barley you mean the leaves or something else?
The diet is going well, thank you 🙏😊. So far so good 😊👍. Today is the 3-d day. First 2 I felt cold... which is unusual for me. I’m usually a hot person 😅. I kept asking my son “Is it cold in here or it’s just me?” And he kept replying patiently: “It’s nice and warm in here. It’s you, mom”. 😂 Today I feel much warmer, coming back to my normal state 😊. Maybe there is something to do with the challenge as well. Overall I feel great! 👍😊. Thank you so very much, Clelia, for your advices and your time 🙏😊💓💓. Lots of love 💖💖
@@svetlana1328 great! For sure the change of temperature is the body that is trying to adjust. 😊 Roasted Barley and rice are kind of infuse, like the roasted coffee, you can use the roasted grains to make a infuse. 😊 I’m trying to order online the Banche tea, if I will find something nice I will tell you! 🍀💫🌟🙏 Love & Light 🌟🙏💫🍀
@@cleliap.7879
Thank you so much, Clelia 🙏😊💖. You are simply the best! 🤗🤗🥰🥰. I’ve never done infused rice or barley. Will try to get some info from Google. And yes please let me know if you find some info where to buy Bancha tea from. Thanks again! 🙏😊
Lots of love ❤️❤️
:)
Ready for this. All in… Let’s go!
Awesome brother! Let me know how it goes for you 🙏
you have omitted the most important thing; chew !!at least each bite 50 times & drink as little as possible
Yes! Thank you for pointing this out! It's super important to do this whole practice mindfully 🙏
A neighbour cured her coloncancer in 1 month with macrobiotic diet...she runs a hotel resto 'alseput' in belgium ❤
That's amazing! It's so motivating to hear other people's success stories. thank you for sharing 🙏
Hi! What about the soup, only miso and onion. What happens that I am craving to eat a lot of rice. I am in my 6 day and eat a lot of rice with salt (himalaya)
Hi Ale. You can eat rice as much you like. The important is never skip the meal. Salt is ok, of course not exaggerate to much otherwise than you will be extremely thirsty. Regarding the soup yes for the miso, NO onions at least for the 10 days. You can add cook veggie immediately after the 10 day and fruits after a couple day. 😊 I hope that this will help you process. Love & Light 💗
Hello, i have a question: is this detox also healthy for young people in their growth? My sun from almost 15 years would like to join me. Thank you so much for your reply
As this is only a day 10 cycle, and not a long term diet plan, I couldn't see any potential issues for your 15 year old son. Good luck to the both of you! Let us know how it goes 🙏🥰
@@RefeelYoga Thank you, we will!
@GWP hi we want to apologize but after some consideration we believe that this diet is not appropriate to any kids or teenagers because they don’t need to detox, actually we need to provide for them good quality food rich of all nutrients that at this age they need to grow strong and healthy. This is a strong diet that need a lot of awareness and will power. Thank you 🙏
I want to try, but honestly, I'm worried about if this could make me feel sick or something... I mean, it's more inclinated to the point about where I'm going to obtain those necessary vitamins and proteins. I'm still ignorant in this, but that's what makes me unsure to try it
The important thing to remember is that this is a time restricted detox, not a lifestyle diet. You only do it for 10 days maximum. Not more. So the idea is not to get proteins and vitamins from this, but rather to remove toxins from the system by limited intake of food and using the property of the brown rice to help strengthen and purify the digestive system.
Hello! I'd like to do the brown rice diet. I was wondering if I could add some raw spinach leaves or lettuce to the daily intake of rice to prevent constipation in addition to exercise. It's cheaper and handier than miso. I know it definitely moves the bowels. Miso is something I've never tried and would be unwilling to. Would a daily intake of the stuff I mentioned above undo the diet?
Hey Aurelian! To answer your question, no, you cannot do this diet with adding spinach or lettuce, as spinach and lettuce are very Yin foods, which would offset the purifying and solarizaing intentions of this diet. Miso is allowed because it is a very Yang food, that can help with constipation. But if you do not want to consume miso, it's not a problem. It's not needed at all. I don't use miso when I do this diet and never really have a problem.
The only things that are allowed with this diet are whole rice, it can be brown or red, salt and sesame. No oil, no fruits or vegetables, and even not too much water.
@@RefeelYoga Thanks for your reply and explanation..I can defimitely do some outdoor exercise - maybe running - with this diet. Will that be enough to prevent constipation?
@@aureliancosma3807 That is a great idea! Movement, walking, abdominal contractions, etc. are great ways to keep the digestive system flowing. And of course, it depends on your body constitution. Clelia and I have never really experienced constipation from this diet - though we never really experience constipation at any time. The miso is just an option for those who do face it. But like you have mentioned, moving the body is a great way to keep the digestion working.
@@RefeelYoga Thank you!
@@aureliancosma3807 Happy to help. Let us know how it goes for you 🙏
I'm on day 8 😁 I feel amazing 👏😌
Awesome work Alexandra! Thank you so much for sharing 💪🙏
Were there any big challenges that arose for you?
I’m on day 7 😂😂😂 crazy we star almost together 😊 and how is going for you? For me day 5-6-7 are always the most challenge, because is where the detox process is going more deep. Love & Light Clelia
Hello, i have question, what can i drink?just water or some teas? I found a lot of differnt options and i am a little bit confused. In Oshawa book, he mentioned two kind of tea but i cannot find them. Thank you😊
There are many variations. Some will tell you to even limit your water intake. We generally drink warm water mixed with tumeric or cinnamon. Clelia drinks tumeric for the ant-iinflammatory effects and Andrew drinks cinnamon for the extra Yang properties.
Some people drink green or black tea, but it seems to be very controversial whether tea is Yin or Yang in property. Personally, I think it's best to avoid caffeine during detox.
@@RefeelYoga thank you :)
Bancha tea
I am currently on day 4, all going very well, no big reactions from my body so far. Except I have had a bladder infections coming 😣... uhh, trying to balance it.. and I can't drink much water to flush it out, so I took a bit of Bancha tea a couple of times, I hope it's okay to do that.
I add gomasio to the diet. And sometimes I take 1 teaspoon soy to a big bowl of rice in my evening and lunch meals, it helps so much with the taste ! 🤗
I took also a bit of miso one time, which helped my digestion.
I dream so intensely of miso soup, tofu and green vegetables (so humble desires I have!) 🥰
I can definitely recommend the ROUND brown rice, they are so delicious! Yum 😋
I am really not crazy about the long ones without vegetables 😊 6 days to go !
Great work K.H.! You're doing amazing!
I know the deep longing for the taste of miso soup 🤤 my goodness it is not an easy thing to forego flavour!
Keep it up! You're half way there now 💪
@@RefeelYoga Thank you 🙏 I am Now on my last day 🤗 surprisingly on day 7-8 I started to have joint pain. Not because of toxins, but because I am very sensitive to acid foods (I am reumatic). And brown rice, however healthy they are, are on the acid side. And since I didn't get vegetables or much water to drink, it all bottled up in my joints. 🤷♀️ However I will flush it out again over the coming days, but a interesting side effect indeed ! 😉
Still very happy I went through with it ! It has transformed my view on food, and I am inspired to make some changes in my diet going forward. Also I have done a crazy amount of healing and emotional transformation in these 10 days...
I can recommend to everyone
Now, going to the market to buy vegetables.! 🥰
Could you use braggs liquid amino with rice ?
If is natural soy, without sugar or OMG it can be use in a small quantity. Maybe in one of the main meals for day. 😊
The outer part of thehole rice is a parasiticide
I do this with white rice 6 days a week.
Hi Joe white rice does not have the same properties and effects as brown rice, also if you eat only rice for long periods repeatedly, it is not very healthy because you will deprive your body of important minerals, vitamins and necessary nutrients. 🙏 have a good day.
Hi, I've attempted this a few times. At the end of day 1 or 2, I am exhausted and listless. I eat relatively healthily most of the time. Does anyone know why I may feel like this?
Hello Christy, for sure when there is a drastic change on the Diet our body/system need time to adjust at the new regimen. Is also true that this diet is design to detox not only the body, but also the mind and the whole system. The range of emotions and feelings that can occur are really vast, especially if your diet is already quite healthy, means that the purification go to act more at the subtle levels (emotions and mind) . When we decide to challenge ourselves with something that can trigger us, the mind can find 1000 excuses, the process of growing/evolve sometimes can be painful. We learn through our failures. What I suggest to you is to eat as much rice you can the first couple days, the beauty of this diet is that you can eat kilos of rice, and don’t skip any meals. And observe what happens, with awareness and love, meditation, watch the emotions, journaling and trying to go through the difficult moment. Celebrate the symptoms 😊 Every time that I did it was always very different, one time I spend 5 day in the bed with TERRIBLE headaches. Another time couldn’t move my neck for 4 days 😭. Andrew always cry for the first 3 days. Everybody reaction is completely different. Usually first part of the diet is more heavy mentally and the second part we gain more energy, sleep less and feel quite light. I hope that this will help you. Love & Light C.
@@RefeelYoga Hi, thank you for this. I will bear it in mind. I am wondering, as I think I have an ovarian cyst, if this diet can help to shift it? My feeling is that the rice diet helps to shift cell memories, the ones that have caused the cyst, and can then help to build new healthier memories.
Hey Christy for sure the diet can help, and also keep in mind that often the ovarian cyst come and go along the month. Of course if you start to feel pain or have some serious spot or problem always better to see a specialist and then eventually study a strategy for healing. Otherwise keep a healthy pelvic with some exercise, massage, yoga is always a very good habit, and diet, especially this, can always help because of the detox effects. 😊 Hope that everything will be good! Have a beautiful time! 🌸💗🍀 love & light
I am afraid eating in that way Would cause constipated?
It definitely can cause constipation. If this happens for you, it's a good idea to do some exercise to stimulate the digestive system. And you can also take some Miso, or seaweed, to help.
What about wild rice?
Honestly I'm not 100% sure about the properties of wild rice. I know it is a different plant than regular rice. However I think the most important aspect is that it's a whole grain. I do know people who use alternatives like buckwheat and barley, instead of brown rice.
Purists of the Ohsawa macrobiotic philosophy might argue that the exact nature of brown rice, with its particular balance of nutrients and energetic properties, is essential for Diet #7. However, if you're considering a variation based on personal preference or other reasons, using wild rice could be an option. You should know, however, that it's a deviation from the traditional approach.
Can I eat only brown rice for 1 year ?
Hi Clark, NO absolutely No! You will completely depleted your body. This is a detox diet designed for 10 days no more, no less. Eventually after that you can still eat brown rice, BUT need to be implemented with some vegetable, soya, fruit. In a case of some several digestive problem, like I had, you can repeated the 10 days every month for max 2/3 times. Or in a case of very serious problem can be alternate with fasting but at this point ONLY with a super visor of an expert. Like everything in life Balance, Compassion & Love are the keys for success. Love & Light!
❤❤❤awesome
Thank you
Appel juice is Yang or Yin?
Hi, generally fruits is more through yin, although is good to have in a regular diet. If your intention is to follow the Oshawa diet the restrictions for the 10 days are very strict indeed the Apple juice or any other fruits juice are not included also for the amount of sugar that they contain. Love&light
I could maybe manage wholegrains but just brown rice? You guys are dedicated! :-P
😂 you know, it's difficult but at the same time it's super rewarding. And I (Andrew) realized there are many different ways that the brown rice can be cooked!
Sometimes we would cook them more dry, then they have a texture more like "mince", for lack of a better comparison. Or sometimes we would cook the rice more like risotto so it would become starchy and creamy. Sometimes we would boil it dry and burn the bottom a bit. This gave us some crunchy pieces like chips to enjoy as a desert! Ahahaha
It's amazing the ingenuity that can be inspired when your options are so limited 😅
Hahah! I'm not convinced, but I might give it a try for a few days and see if it helps with the nauli kriya- I am progressing; I can do it, just really slowly, lol!
@@serpentlady4551 That's awesome! Keep at it! I'm excited for you :D How often are you practicing? And for how long?
And definitely let us know if you take up the Brown Rice Challenge! :P
@@RefeelYoga I'm doing it for 5-15 minutes in the morning when I just wake up- before water or anything else; it's harder even with a small glass of water! I must admit, the extent of my detoxing is monoatomic gold and a salt water flush once in a while... so the brown rice challenge may be coming up but I'm not as enthusiastic as the last challenge, haha!
This is great! You'll have nauli mastered in no time!
And I've never heard of using gold to detox! Super high class :P
Salt water is perfect though! Many Yogic cleansing techniques use salt water. If you would be interested to learn some more I may consider making a video on such practices ;)
And as for the brown rice, trust me, I am never enthusiastic to do anything when it comes to changing my diet. But at the same time I've definitely experienced the benefits, no only physically but more mentally, from going through with these sort of challenges
Ohsawa is the name.
Oh my goodness! I'm embarrassed now! Thank you for this correction 😅🙏
Healing is his game.
Hah! I did this accidentally once when I ran out of food and just had a bag of brown rice
Ahahaha accidentally! That's amazing 👏
Can you use black rice instead of brown?
The idea behind the Ohsawa diet is to eat only plain whole grains. So you can also eat buckwheat, oats or barley. I'm sure black rice would be acceptable as well. We have often had red rice instead of brown rice.
We often use only brown or red rice because of the anti-inflammatory properties. I'm not sure if black rice shares the same quality. I'm also not sure if black rice would be more fiberous than the other varieties, which may be harder on the digestive system - but maybe I'm confusing black with Wild Rice?
So long as it's whole, it's should be acceptable.
We just checked! Yes, black rice DOES share the same anti-inflammatory properties 💗
I am not able to post my comment here
I am seeing this comment. Are you referring to something else?
It sure sounds torturously bland 😫 😆
I'll let you know how it goes 😎
Not gonna lie to you Julie, it is very bland! Haha
And it's amazing how many emotions can come up just from abstaining from the pleasure of flavor. I, Andrew, experience this diet as a much more emotional detox. My Svadhistana goes crazy without taste. Whereas Clelia usually has a much more physical detoxification, in the form of rash or muscle soreness. But in the end, it's always very rewarding.
I wish you the best of luck in this 10 day challenge. let us know how it goes for you and if you need any support along the way
Clearly she's Italian!!let him speak please
🤣No worries Marco! My wife is very good to carry the conversation😝
