I feel like I am a person who is reasonably educated about recycling. I’ve been doing it since I was a kid, and reporting on it for at least a decade. But to this day, I pause when it’s time to put select items in the trash. The rules keep changing and can vary depending on where you live, because everything’s recycled at the local level. Plus, very few recyclable-looking things have just one element to them — aluminum cans are wrapped in paper, paper cartons are coated in plastic, plastic containers have cardboard in them. It’s confusing.
I love to make a big pot of applesauce after a day of apple picking — there’s something just so satisfying about its simplicity. However, after a few days of eating it from a bowl, dusted with cinnamon, I tend to grow tired of the snack. Luckily, there is a whole lot more you can do with applesauce. It’s an incredibly useful ingredient in the kitchen, particularly in baking, as it adds moisture and can be a wholesome substitute for eggs, oil, or butter. Here are 10 recipes that prove it.
Recent estimates put the number of Amazon Prime members at 80 million. Even if each Prime member only ordered one package per year, that adds up to tons (literally) of cardboard and other types of packaging material. Never mind the fact that it’s typical for Prime members to make purchases weekly (or even more often!) — and that’s before you even consider other services like Prime Pantry. Great for convenience’s sake, but not so great for the planet — especially if you’re not reusing or recycling your boxes.
If you’re looking to minimize the footprint of your Amazon habit, here’s what you need to know.
Those of us who are lucky enough to live in one of the six states with Wegmans stores know that no other grocery store compares to it. Any devoted Wegmans fan also knows the generic store brand is usually cheaper and better than other options, and that’s especially true when it comes to healthy snacks.
In fact, Wegmans wants you to snack better, and feel good about doing so. They have an entire line of products under their Food You Feel Good About (FYFGA) label. You can trust that any product adorned with the FYFGA yellow banner has no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.
Part of the fun of dressing up for Halloween is having someone who’s in on it with you, which is why we’re big fans of couples costumes. This year, if you want to channel your favorite combinations of foods, Party City has a bunch that are cute and affordable.
Finally, you can prove to everyone once and for all that you and your beloved go together just like bacon and eggs!
For today’s edition of Dear Mark, I’m answering some questions about keto (hey, you folks keep asking!). First, is being on a ketogenic diet actually congruent with our ancestry? Is there historical precedent? Next, is bad breath really a reliable indication of being in ketosis? And finally, could going keto help treat the autoimmune disease lupus?
Let’s take a look:
First, Ryan asked:
My understanding and experience with Ketosis as a state, is that it is not necessarily hard to get into, but is difficult to maintain for any period of time. By “difficult” I mean you have pay very close attention to everything you are eating, or you will easily slip out of Ketosis…
So, my question is this. From an evolutionary perspective, is long term Ketosis something we “should” be aiming for? Assuming long term ketosis was optimal, it seems that we would have evolved to easily maintain it under a number of circumstances, and not easily slip out of it, instead of the opposite.
Thanks for all you do!
Ryan
Interesting question, Ryan. I dig it.
I’ve written about whether or not we need to be in long-term ketosis, coming to a similar conclusion. It isn’t necessary for most people, and it’s probably not optimal, either.
Why ask folks to go keto for 4-6 weeks then? That’s not “long term,” but it’s longer than “transient.” Paleolithic hunter-gatherers wouldn’t have gone that long without food, nor would they have consciously avoided carbohydrates if they were available. There’s no evidence of long-term wholly ketogenic populations.
But that doesn’t mean they weren’t producing ketones on a regular basis. Before everyone had constant access to cheap food without having to work for it, ketosis was more common. It wasn’t a constant state of being, but it was always in the vicinity. The food situation was ketotic in three main ways:
Constant snacking wasn’t tenable. There was no fridge to open when you were bored. You couldn’t just dig through a non-existent pantry. The kind of constant low-level eating that keeps glucose topped off and inhibits ketone production—snacking—just didn’t happen very often. A lot of time elapsed between meals, which was very conducive to fat-burning and ketone production.
Obtaining food required physical activity. Exercise, in and of itself, stimulates ketone production by increasing energy expenditure and reducing energy availability. If you have to physically work for your food, you will produce ketones. And sometimes the hunt comes up short, AKA you train on an empty stomach.
You’re correct that extended, protracted ketosis probably wasn’t the norm for our hunter-gatherer ancestors. Rather, they spent most of their time in what I call the keto zone, where one slips easily into and out of ketosis.The Keto Reset offers a way to emulate that ancestral metabolic environment by condensing it into a shorter time frame, to make up for the lack of lifelong dalliance with transient ketosis and the enhanced fat metabolism it creates.
Just a quick question, Mark. Does being in ketosis cause bad breath? My daughter has an unusually acute olfactory sense and swears I have keto breath. Am old, sedentary, 25 lbs overweight (belly) and trying to slim down via intermittent fasting and carb restriction.
Yes, ketone breath is a common indicator of ketosis.
Just wondering about something. Has anyone suggested anything about Lupus, an autoimmune disease. I’ve had Lupus for 27 years. After going on low carb I am in remission. Not sure, but it has to have something relevant. No longer on any of the medications. Thankful!
There’s reason to believe going low-carb or ketogenic can help lupus and other autoimmune diseases.
For one, many of the foods known to trigger or exacerbate autoimmune diseases are higher in carbs, like grains. Going low-carb necessitates their elimination. The Primal eating plan, whether ketogenic or not, also eliminates refined foods in general and industrial seed oils in particular, both of which are inflammatory and can contribute to autoimmune flareups.
Three, “fasting-mimicking diets,” or ketogenic diets, have been shown to improve outcomes in rodents with autoimmune encephalomyelitis, a type of brain and spine inflammation. They do this by actually regenerating immune cells damaged by the progression of the autoimmune disease. All the rodents improved their symptoms and 20% entirely reversed them.
Four, it’s working for you! This is the most convincing piece of evidence that it helps, at least for you.
That’s it for today, folks. Thanks for reading. Be sure to chime in down below with your own input.
This is how you do French toast during prime pumpkin season (aka right now!). It’s a sweet, seasonal breakfast casserole for a crowd and powerful enough to win over the most ardent pumpkin spice critic. Thick cubes of buttery brioche are soaked overnight and infused with rich custard packed with warm spices and a double dose of pumpkin. Then it’s dotted with a crunchy brown sugar and pecan streusel that takes it over the top. Amazing, right?
When you’re vigorously chopping vegetables for dinner, it’s normal for wayward pieces of pepper, carrot, broccoli, or whatever you’re prepping to go flying onto the floor. And as much as your pup may enjoy this, it’s annoying and just contributes to more after-dinner cleanup for you.
That’s why we like this Dexas Chop & Scoop Cutting Board, currently on sale on Amazon. It has curved edges to help keep ingredients on the board where they belong.
I seriously don’t understand why there is space above my kitchen cabinets. If someone knows of a historical reason, please illuminate me in the comments. Why can’t my cabinets just go all the way to the ceiling? I do not know. What I do know is that it’s a terrible waste of space and it tends to get pretty gross and dusty.
Do you share my pain? Here are a few ideas to make that space actually work for you — and me!

Warrior Fit Testimonials
First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.
Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight.
At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does!
Thank you!! - Theresa F.
The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.
When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do.
It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished.
I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy.
