This is not just a book it's an encyclopedia!! With Verne's excellent guidance my life has been transformed! You will experience what I mean when you get this book. If I can do it anyone can, and now in this "Dummies" book format it is so easy, Verne hasn't skipped a beat. It's ALL there! The recipes are very delicious and extremely satisfying. Already in my first week with the book I feel a few extra pounds melting away and increased energy. Verne's Macrobiotics for Dummies is the definitive guide for anyone who wants to have energy, be happy, be disease free, be your perfect weight and enjoy fabulous food at the same time. Thank you Verne!!

Verne is a wonderful writer and puts everything across in an easy way which makes it enjoyable to read and is entertaining too. So pleased I bought it and am sure it will inspire so many people to change the way they think about their health. Julie x



5 out of 5 stars great advice in this publication   August 12, 2009

"Macrobiotics For Dummies" is a clear and concise document that lays out the principles of macrobiotics along with some of the history of the movement. Anyone interested in diet and general health who is not familiar with macrobiotics will gain practical knowledge and advice from this publication, and those already exposed to these principles will find it to be a nice 21st century update. The tips given throughout the book are easy to remember, and following these principles does not require spending lots of money at the grocery store. In fact, it may reduce your grocery bills.
In an age where cancer rates are high, heart disease is still a threat, people are subject to attacks from various flus and colds, and medical costs continue to rise, this book gives sound advice to help control obesity and maintain the immune system, along with making a case for the favorable impact to the environment that is possible with increased adherence to macrobiotic principles.

Book review; Macrobiotics for Dummies:


Dummies can now be smart when it comes to health and happiness thanks to Macrobiotics for Dummies by Verne Varona and the staff at Wiley Publications. This simple book coming to a store near you on May 4th 2009 is well organized and easy enough to follow for anyone with the passion, enthusiasm and time to learn, comprehend and follow the easy steps to an optimal healthy life. Once the full story of Verne's 40 years experience with macrobiotics is understood along with the thousands of years of knowledge that his teachers have given to him, this book will become the bible of health.


Understanding the "WHY" of health and the " HOW TO" of healthy eating are important for the complete and total transformation from being sick with suffering and pain and medications to understanding life, our true purpose in living: optimal health. Having practiced macrobiotics for over 30 years, I found Verne's intention in life come forward in Macrobiotics for Dummies. This is a simple and multicultural book that is simply straightforward about dietary principles and nutrition without the dogma and sentimental attachments, Verne has demystified macrobiotics, updated it for modern times, and set the record straight for beginners and long-term practitioners. In reading this book, you will come to realize and comprehend the natural way to health and happiness is right "under your nose"!


If you know anyone who is looking to change their lifestyle today and I mean seriously have a desire to change, Macrobiotics for Dummies is the book to buy today and use for a lifetime!
