For today’s edition of Dear Mark , I’m answering three questions from readers. First, does the renewed vigor assailing the keto diet have me worried about my business? Should I start going vegan to cover all my bases? Second, did the “ketones for overtraining” study from last week control for calories? And third, how can a person eat enough fat if they’re avoiding lactose? Let’s go: Interested to see if Mark’s focus on keto will continue now that the trend factor is wearing off. That VICE piece, flawed though it may be, is part of a much larger media pushback against keto. What are the business implications of aligning yourself with a so-called “fad diet”? I’ve built a pretty good business by aligning myself and my writing and my products with “fad diets.” I generally use several factors to determine where to align myself and target my work: Personal experimentation. What am I trying? What kind of diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications am I experimenting with? The qualit...

There are a dizzying number of keto pills on the market now. They promise easy weight loss, increased energy, and the benefits of ketosis without the pesky following-a-strict-diet part. As savvy MDA readers, you know that optimal health never comes in a bottle. You also know that I’m a proponent of wise supplementation to support a Primal diet and lifestyle when appropriate. I’ve said before that I think exogenous ketones can be useful in specific circumstances, though they’re never necessary for success. The question at hand is whether keto pills are likely to offer any benefit or if they’re a waste of money. I focused on pills that seem to be popular on Google searches and Amazon—ones with names like Ultra Fast Keto Boost, Super Fast Keto Boost, Keto Burn Xtreme, Instant Keto, and Keto Slim Rx. (My Amazon search history is shot now. This is the sacrifice I make for my readers.) First Impressions: Are Keto Pills a Scam? My first impressions weren’t positive—let’s just say that....

Welcome to the first Instagram Live of 2020! It’s been awhile, hasn’t it? I’ve received some awesome questions from you guys, so I have four that I’ll answer today. And, of course, keep those questions coming. Feel free to comment below or send me an email or DM on Instagram. What are some good ways to get fiber in your diet? So, good ways to get fiber… I think the most obvious is vegetables and fruit. They are super-duper nutritious and have loss of fiber. Other heavy-hitters are oats, ground flax, beans, lentils, quinoa, avocado (did you know avocado is a good source of fiber?). And if you work with me  as one of my nutrition clients, you will track your macros and your daily fiber intake. Fiber is so good for digestion, gut health, hormones, weight loss, and more. Fiber goals will depend on the individual. I typically tell my clients to aim for 25 to 35 grams. But, of course, it depends on the person. If you don’t typically eat fiber, going from eating no fiber t...

This Indian chickpea salad recipe is a wonderful side dish for any Indian-inspired main course. While I don’t claim to be any kind of expert on Indian cooking, I do truly enjoy some of the heady combinations those types of spices have to offer. I will often make a bean salad for snacks because they travel well and don’t need to be immediately refrigerated. I can pack a small container full, stick it in my purse and run my errands. If I get hungry, I know I’ve got something healthy in my purse, and as long as I haven’t been away from the house (and fridge) all day, I feel pretty comfortable eating it. But if eating this by itself isn’t really your thing, this will also pair well with any Indian-inspired main course. This would pair really well with a Curry Chicken , a Chicken Vegetable Curry Rollups , or even some Chicken Korma or BBQ Tandoori Chicken . Add a side of Naan and you’ve got quite a delicious Indian meal going on! HOW TO MAKE INDIAN CHICKPEA SALAD: As long as you’...

Overnight oats are one of the most popular ways to eat oats – for a good reason! This simple no-cook recipe is versatile, portable, filling, nutritious, and convenient. I’m updating my old KERF page as a new post with everything you need to know about one of my favorite breakfasts! // { Jump to Recipe } What Are Overnight Oats? Overnight oats are oats soaked in the liquid you put them in – any kind of liquid you like but most commonly milk – for a few hours up to a day or two. Generally the ratio is 1:1 oats to milk, and I like a third component of yogurt for a 1:1:1 ratio. Chia seeds also help the whole mixture gel together. That’s the base, and toppings are endless. There is NO COOKING involved at all! (Although you could heat them just a tiny bit in the microwave to take the chill out.) Key Ingredients Oats – rolled oats are best, but you can use quick or instant oats too. Steel cut oats are a bit too tough to “cook” just by soaking alone. Liquid – I like cow’s milk, but y...

This minestrone soup recipe is one of the easiest, tastiest recipes you can make. The ingredients are basic but the flavors are bold, warm and comforting. The evolution and origins of food fascinate me. The idea that a soup such as Minestrone (in its first versions and renditions) pre-dates the expansion of the Latin tribes of Rome is such an amazing piece of history. While the soup has evolved over the centuries, the fact that this type of soup was eaten so long ago really tends to tie us to our past as well as our future with every bite. Parts of this soup we consider staples today were actually American additions as late as the mid-16th century. Namely, the potatoes and tomatoes that a good many versions of this soup contain these days. For us today, it just wouldn’t be Minestrone without the tomato-flavored broth. But this soup has much more humble beginnings that started with simple ingredients that were available at the time of origin. Minestrone originally consisted of “ v...
