You probably hear a lot these days about Asian, Japanese, and Japanese-style knives and are wondering What’s the deal? What exactly are they? Why would I want one? Do I need one?

They’re designed to cut the foods common in Japan — like seafood and vegetables — and to make the very thin and precise cuts that are a hallmark of Japanese cuisine. You’ll find the blades are thinner and sharper than the ones you’re used to, and the best ones virtually glide as they cut. Because they are so thin, Japanese knives are more delicate and shouldn’t be used for tasks like cutting up butternut squash or cleaving through chicken bones.

One of my favorite things about meal planning is that anyone can start at any time, at any level. This also means that even pro meal planners, like myself, can start fresh whenever they fall of the bandwagon.

If you’re new to meal planning, stuck getting started, or just need to get your grove back, using a meal template is a great place to start. I follow a simple one of Pasta Monday, Taco Tuesday, Breakfast-for-Dinner Wednesday, and always Pizza Friday. This leaves just Thursday to fill in with leftovers or something we’re craving.

This week’s meal plan is built around that template to help jumpstart your meal planning or just to give you your meal planning mojo back.

Someone asked me a question while I was dropping in at another gym back home in Virginia recently that got me thinking: “How much time do you spend in the gym to look like that?”

 

It’s not a bad question, and there’s no simple answer because it’s not one set of circumstances—it’s a lifetime of circumstances.

In an effort to keep up with Trader Joe’s ever-changing snack landscape (for the sake of investigative journalism), I ran to the closest location after we caught wind of their latest release: Corn, Pea, Bean & Quinoa Crisps. (That really rolls off the tongue, right?)

Considering the fact that before today my favorite hexagonal-shaped treat was Post’s Honey-Comb cereal, please take the following information with 7 percent of your daily grain of salt intake. This light and airy snack reminded me (in the best way) of Popcorners, another very ingestible dip vehicle that lacks the grease-factor of a regular corn or potato chip.

I’ve been eating oatmeal most mornings for more than 10 years. I love the texture, I find warm breakfast comforting, and I’m not shy about throwing on all kinds of toppings — like fruits, nuts, seeds, or chocolate — to keep things interesting. Until recently though, I’d always made my oatmeal with almond milk.

It was a habit that started in college for me. Almond milk was relatively new, and wellness-focused media outlets all seemed to be shunning dairy for reasons I’m now fairly sure were more based on speculation than actual science. But I went with the trend and jumped in, picking up my carton of almond milk on each grocery trip. I thought it tasted fine, and never really felt my oatmeal was lacking because of it. But I recently broke this decade-old habit — and my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner.

Wait, what? Stop exercising? Isn’t exercising good for you? Aren’t millions upon millions of people looking for the right reason to start exercising? Besides, isn’t it my job and duty as a fitness professional and writer to convince you of the merits and copious benefits of exercise?

 

No, it isn’t.

Question From Readers

Hey, Mark, what do you think about the motives behind the new global diet guidelines? Are these guys really sincere or is it something else?

I’ve been discussing the oncoming war against meat for several months, and we’ve all seen it brewing for years. These EAT-Lancet dietary guidelines mark the first major offensive. Don’t expect this to slow down, or for the powers-that-be who want you to eat less meat and buy more plant products to give up. Meat isn’t very profitable. That’s what it comes down to. Not the climate. Not the “health risks.” Profit.

If I’m feeling extra suspicious, I might even consider that the lust of profit may be even deeper, and that they’re banking on an increase in the rate of chronic diseases related to diet—diseases that require ongoing prescriptions and lifelong medical care.

Media, Schmedia

The new evidence-based global dietary guidelines allow 7 grams (yes, GRAMS) of red meat each day. I’ve already blown through my yearly allowance in the past week.

Sunscreen: The new margarine?

Interesting Blog Posts

So, is grain fiber truly the staff upon which all life rests?

20 reasons (at least) why the new dietary guidelines are wrong.

Social Notes

Out for a paddle.

Everything Else

“Hey plebs, how about you guys limit yourselves to a slice of bacon every three days so I can fly around on my private jet guilt-free?”

Nomadic Mongolians were quite healthy.

The observation deck at the Tokyo fish market is now open to the public.

Nothing much going on, just a potential solar sail from an alien spacecraft.

Something to shoot for.

Things I’m Up to and Interested In

Podcast I enjoyed: Johann Hari on Tangentially Speaking discussing the real cause of addiction.

Image I found interesting: All the companies participating in the committee to push this low/no-meat global diet.

Sales figure I found illuminating: Self-improvement books related to mental health are now outselling diet and fitness self-improvement books.

Reddit comment you should read: In which the author compares the macronutrient ratios of the EAT-Lancet guidelines and the classic obesogenic rodent diet and finds them identical.

Article everyone needs to read: When things are going great, think about how they can go very wrong.

Question I’m Asking

Where do you see this “war on meat” leading? How far do you see it going?
