Dear Mark,
I love nut, but they most definitely do NOT love me back! Since going “primal” about 18 months ago, I’ve increased my consumption of nuts and seeds. Well actually, I’ve gone overboard. (Seems I just can’t have a handful and call it a day.) Now nuts and seeds in virtually any amount cause [...]

Dear Mark: To Tea or Not to Tea?
September 29th, 2008 — , Dear Mark, Health, Prevention, Sisson Said What?, diet, nutrition from Mark Sisson @ Mark's Daily Apple
Dear Mark,
Do the benefits of tea outweigh its negatives (caffeine, teeth staining, etc.)? Is tea a worthy substitute to a glass of water? If so, how many times a week should one drink tea?
Given our big fall theme the last week or so, I thought this was an especially timely question. [...]
Dear Mark: Seasons for Nuts and Seeds?
September 22nd, 2008 — , Dear Mark, Health, diet from Mark Sisson @ Mark's Daily Apple
Dear Mark,
Every fall I stock my freezer with nuts and seeds. Obviously I want to buy fresh, not last season’s warehouse leftovers. I am wondering when to expect a fresh supply of popular nuts and seeds like walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and pine nuts. I know that most pine nuts sold [...]

The Buckwheat Stops Here
Dear Mark,
Browsing the Crossfit nutrition forums, I recently came across an interesting discussion about buckwheat, a possible Primal-friendly grain alternative. It caught my eye because I’ve been on the lookout for alternatives to pasta and bread ever since I found out that my Standard-American-Diet family will be visiting for an entire week [...]

Dear Mark,
I’ve been researching flax and am ready to pull the plug on my dedicated flaxseed grinder. The kicker was seeing flaxseeds associated with prostate cancer. What’s your take?

Dear Mark: Healthy Body Weight?

Dear Mark,
What do you think about the claim that being heavier doesn’t necessarily mean you’re less healthy than someone who’s thin?
Thanks to reader Corey for his question and for sending the New York Times article that highlights recent research.
The article references a study published in this month’s Archives of Internal Medicine.
It’s true that [...]
Dear Mark: What’s Wrong with Juicing?

Mark,
In your last “Dear Mark” post you said “…why drink your veggies and fruits in concentrated form when you can eat them? I’d just be careful of overdoing the juices.” What is wrong with juicing? I’ve always thought that making fresh juice is extremely healthy for you. Am I right to think that juicing [...]

Dear Mark,
I’m finding that I have low levels of energy in the evenings only. Could this be because my body is still adapting to primal living and adjusting to less carbohydrate intake? How long does this usually last? I’m also finding that after my sessions of intense Muay Thai training, I don’t have the [...]

How do I combine a low carb diet with [...]
