It’s Friday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story from a Mark’s Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark’s Daily Apple community please contact me here . I’ll continue to publish these each Friday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading!  I clearly remember my first experience with binge eating. I was only about ten years old, but my home life was in chaos. My dad had recently lost his business and declared bankruptcy, and we had to sell our home and almost all of our belongings. The turmoil was hard for my parents, but was absolutely traumatic for my younger sister and me. I remember waking up during the night and hearing them fighting over the situation. My sister and I were too young to understand the details, but old enough to know it was really, really bad. At some point during that very rough time, I bought a bag of candy. This was an unusual occurrence for me becaus...

We know sugar is not exactly the healthiest thing we can consume, but a new study underscores just how dramatically and speedily eliminating it from our diets can affect our well-being. The study, which will be published in the September issue of Gastroenterology, looked at obese children who habitually consumed sugar (fructose). The children’s sugar consumption was restricted for nine days without a change in overall calories; the sugar calories they had been consuming were replaced by complex carbohydrates. In that short amount of time — just nine days — the children showed less conversion of sugar to fat, a reduction in liver fat, and improvement of insulin, glucose and lipid metabolism. The findings indicate that reducing sugar intake even short-term may lower the risk for obesity, fatty liver disease, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. “The magnitude of the metabolic changes in only nine days was surprising,” the study’s lead author, Jean-Marc Schw...

^^ Spinach, peanut butter, oat, banana, and milk smoothie. Not vegan, but plant-based! I’m sure many of you have heard about the documentary  What The Health by now. Along the lines of  Food Inc.  (which I love) and  Forks Over Knives ,   What The Health promotes a plant-based, vegan diet as the be-all and end-all right way to eat. I have had several friends watch it and immediately proclaim themselves vegan for life. I am not a fan of the documentary because it leans on cherry-picked studies to scare people into avoiding ALL animal products FOREVER. I stumbled upon this article  while digging around online and completely agree with these sentiments by the author, Julia Belluz: “Andersen’s film fails on several accounts, and cranks the food fear sirens to irresponsibly high levels. He mischaracterizes and overstates what we know about how particular foods drive disease, by offering a narrow view of the science with cherry-picked studies to...

Hi, guys! Happy Friday! Here’s a quick recap of “ what I’m loving lately ,” but in a different format – just to switch things up and keep ’em interesting! I thought it might be fun to give you guys a little rundown. Enjoy! Summer Hack : Insulated wine glass Lifehack :  Mesh laundry bags to keep socks organized – otherwise, we lose them! Favorite Daily Apps : Stitcher (podcasts), MyFitnessPal, Trello, Instagram, MyFLO Best Piece of Advice : I’m not sure I can pick just one, so here are 37 . Where I’d Retire : Mal and I joke about retiring at The Pinehills , but we’ll probably end up somewhere on the Cape or Duxbury. Travel Hack : Packing protein powder  because food options are typically lacking. I like to add it to my iced coffee, oatmeal, yogurt, mashed banana or fresh berries and nut butter. Splurge Booze : We’re not fancy, so a $20 bottle is a “splurge.” I recently discovered Domaine A. Cailbourdin Pouilly-Fume Les Cris, ...

Hi, guys! Happy Thursday to you! This week is FLYIN’ for me! Yesterday was quite a busy day, and I spent almost all of it at the Derby Street Shoppes . My morning started with an early wake up before the rest of my family – well, ok, Murphy felt me get out of bed and followed me downstairs. The potential for food with just so strong! For breakfast, I made myself a rice cake with a thick layer of sunflower butter and banana slices on top. Then, I took the pug for a walk. Quinn must have heard Murphy and me come back into the house because, as soon as we got settled, I heard his bedroom door open. I walked upstairs, gave him a big hug (he’s so cuddly in the morning), and carried him downstairs into the living room. He watched a little TV while I got ready for the day. (Later in the day, I found this photo below on my iPhone. Apparently, somebody borrowed it to snap some photos!) Once I was ready, I got Qman ready for school and packed up the rest of my thi...

Home » Fitness August 24, 2017 CrossFit Training: How Primal Enables Elite Performance By Mark Sisson 0 Comments   Print By now, you know that CrossFit and Primal are totally compatible . You can get enough carbs , calories , and micronutrients eating this way. The specific foods we recommend support healthy recovery , injury prevention, tissue health, ample energy reserves , and even longevity . The lifestyle recommendations—the Primal Laws—provide extra advantages most “diets” completely ignore. And the focus on fat-adaptation buttresses an energy system many athletes lack. All in all, Primal is a great choice for any CrossFitter. But one final question remains: Can it support and enable elite performance? Most of my previous posts in the series answer this question, at least partly. We now know that there’s nothing stopping someone from eating enough calories and carbs on Primal to support CrossFit training. It may be a bit easier to obtain carbs an...
