A Japanese scholar, George Ohsawa, created the Macrobiotic Diet not just as a diet but as a philosophy where a healthy lifestyle and diet should be simple. The diet has come under much controversy due to its strict values whereby at one stage in the diet you are only allowed brown rice and water. Other versions have evolved from Ohsawa’s macrobiotic diet and the Kushi diet has since taken over as the popular alternative. Michio Kushi, in 1978 made the diet popular in North America and published many books on the subject.
