Hello, readers! Scott sent in his first success story five years ago. A lot has happened since then, so he's back with an incredible update. Join me in congratulating Scott and wishing him well! Now I have a request for you: I consider it a true privilege to publish these real life stories, and I need YOURS to keep this feature going. If you would like to share it with me and the Mark's Daily Apple community please contact me here. Your journey can inspire others to take those first steps! Five years ago, I wrote a success story about living the primal lifestyle to improve my health. After going Primal, I discovered I had advanced stage-four cancer. When I wrote the story, my cancer was in remission, and I had no evidence of disease. But cancer is a sneaky foe, and it didn't give up as easily as I had hoped. Cancer reoccurred in my liver two more times, and it spread to my adrenal glands, more lymph nodes, and my lungs. My original prognosis was that I had about a 7% chance of surviving for five years. Every time my disease spread it lowered my odds of survival. However, that didn't stop me from living, and I continued to adhere to the primal lifestyle. While battling cancer my exercise and activity level declined until it was nearly non-existent. Even after losing more than 100 pounds I was still unable to put on my own socks and shoes because I still needed a complete hip replacement. I lacked any flexibility in my hips, and my pain level was through the roof. Eventually, the time between cancer outbreaks extended and I was able to get hip surgery. It's difficult to explain the joy of pain-free movement after a decade of suffering. I started walking. At first, I couldn't complete a half-mile circuit. A decade of muscle atrophy and surgeries had taken its toll on my core and legs. But my primal diet provided me with energy and the desire to go further. And I got stronger. In 2019, I committed to a dying friend to complete the Camino de Santiago in Spain in his honor. If you are unfamiliar with the Camino, it's a pilgrimage across Spain. My route was to be 566 miles. I knew to expect troubles, but I had no idea what I was in store for. First, my bone density had suffered during my time of inactivity. As I attempted to increase my training, I suffered a couple of stress fractures in my foot. Each occurrence interrupted training for six weeks. I injured myself while training for uphill terrain and got a severe case of plantar fasciitis. That took another 8 weeks off of my training schedule. I trained the entire time while taking chemotherapy and receiving radiation treatments. But the Primal lifestyle made it possible to show steady improvement. I switched between primal and keto diets without too many cheat days. I also waited to … Continue reading "Success Story Update: Six Million Steps Later"

Grocery shopping can be a tad overwhelming, especially when you're trying a new way of eating. Primal, paleo, keto, Whole30, vegetarian, vegan—they all have their own set of guidelines about what foods are "allowed" and which you should limit or avoid. Front-of-package food labels allow you to scan the shelves at your supermarket and quickly gather information about products. Depending on which diet or food plan you're following, you might decide whether or not to grab an item based on: Food type or ingredients: whether it contains grains, animal products, nightshades, added sugar, etc. Macronutrient profile: low-carb, low-fat, keto How ingredients were grown or harvested: organic versus conventional, wild versus farmed, and so on Decoding food labels can be tricky, though. Some claims are subject to strict labeling standards, but others are buzzwords meant to draw your attention and make you think that a product is healthy. "Natural" is a good example of the latter. It sounds like something you'd want, but the term isn't regulated, so ultimately it doesn't signify anything specific. It's up to you, the consumer, to educate yourself about which labels are meaningful and relevant to you. That way, you can efficiently find products best suited to your needs without being sucked in by meaningless claims and marketing ploys. How Food Labels Can Help You Shop Smarter Food labels are heuristics—tools for making snappy judgments about which items are up your alley. They can be particularly helpful if you're following a diet with strict guardrails around what is and is not compliant, such as AIP, or if you have dietary restrictions (you have to avoid gluten or dairy, for example). However, the icons and claims on the front of the package only tell you so much. They don't tell you whether a particular product meets your personal standards. I'm pretty sure most Primal folks aren't going to grab a box of Raisin Bran cereal just because it says "Heart Healthy" on the front and carries the Whole Grain Stamp™ from the Oldways Whole Grain Council. By the same token, a food could call itself "keto-friendly" and still be made with canola or other oils you typically avoid. Choosy shoppers should start by deciding what qualities are most important to them. Maybe you prioritize organic and non-GMO foods but could care less about keto or vegan certifications. If your doctor told you that you must follow a low-sodium diet, you might want to know how the FDA regulates claims about sodium content, whereas the rest of us probably don't need to worry about that. The next step is to learn what different labels actually mean. Who's in charge of bestowing a given certification or guarantee, and what standards does a product have to meet in order to earn a particular icon? Some food labels and claims are more informative than others. When shopping, scan the shelves for certification icons and highlighted claims first. Before deciding yes or no, however, flip the product over, read the ingredient list, … Continue reading "How to Read Food Labels"

"Warm" and "salad" might not be two words you'd normally associate, but we promise you that this warm spinach salad recipe has the goods! This high-protein salad boasts colorful, nutrient-dense veggies and healthy fats. Roughly chopping the greens ensures that you get bite-sized greens in every delicious bite, and the crispy bacon, crunchy apples, and perfectly roasted butternut squash are downright delightful together. It's is also very versatile and customizable. Spinach salad is a classic, but any greens—baby kale, Swiss chard, beet greens, or a combination—will work here. Instead of butternut squash, substitute delicata squash or kabocha. Swap out the walnuts for pecans or pine nuts and the goat cheese for feta. Try it with ranch dressing instead of honey mustard. You can't go wrong. Once you get the warm spinach salad experience, you'll want to try loads of different variations. Warm Spinach Salad Serves: 4 Time in the kitchen: 50 minutes Ingredients 5 oz. baby spinach 5 oz. baby arugula 8 slices (about 6 oz) bacon 3 cups cubed butternut squash 1 red onion, thinly sliced 1/3 cup roughly chopped walnuts 1 lb. shredded or chopped cooked chicken 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and sliced or quartered (see hard-boiling instructions below) 1/4-1/3 cup Primal Kitchen Honey Mustard Dressing Optional: 1 apple, cubed Optional: 4 oz. goat cheese, crumbled Directions Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lay your bacon out on a rimmed sheet pan and bake it in the oven until it reaches your desired crispiness. This will probably take about 20 minutes, but start checking after 15. Use tongs to remove the bacon to a towel-lined plate. When it is cool enough to handle, roughly chop the bacon and set it aside. Meanwhile, carefully toss the cubed butternut squash in the bacon fat in the baking sheet. Arrange the butternut squash in a single layer, then place the pan back in the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Flip the squash over and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the squash is golden. Place the squash in a bowl large enough to toss all the salad ingredients. Add the chopped bacon back to the pan and place the pan back in the oven for a few minutes to get the bacon warm again. While the bacon is warming, roughly chop the baby spinach and arugula leaves in batches so they're in bite-sized pieces. Add the warm bacon, sliced onion, walnuts, chicken, and apple and/or cheese if you're adding them to the bowl with the squash. Gently toss the ingredients with the Primal Kitchen Honey Mustard dressing. Add the chopped greens and egg and gently toss so everything is combined. As you toss the salad together, the arugula and spinach will wilt slightly. Enjoy right away or save leftovers for the next day. Tips: You can use chopped roasted chicken breast, leftover chicken, a rotisserie chicken, or whatever protein you'd like. To keep it lower carb, you can use turnips or radishes in … Continue reading "Warm Spinach Salad Recipe"
