It's sad, but most people just don't have the discipline. But we do learn from our mistakes hopefully. I know during the first five years I was macrobiotic three times on the hottest day in the summer I stopped by Steve's ice cream, just a few blocks from my apartment at the time, and got ice cream . Each time it has bad consequences with my health, and in 1983 I finally didn't even enjoy the taste . It was far to sweet for me to like it. So I never got it again.
Hopefully now your client will have learned the devastating effects of eating chocolate chip cookies.. yes and the devastating effects of trying to just be normal in the USA. Hopefully he'll never again have the desire for either.
Thank you for the comment. When I was young (about 19) I started to not feel good when I ate ice cream. I would get a stuffed up nose and my eyes would get red and puffy. So I could put two and two together and figured out to not eat ice cream and this was about 6 years before I even knew what macrobiotics was. I make my own aquafaba ice cream now, only sweetened with brown rice syrup. Even vegan ice cream in health food stores I find to be too sweet.
