A new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report states that over 100 million Americans are living with diabetes. Another 84 million are living with what is called pre-diabetes and are expected to develop full-blown type 2 diabetes within five years. Sadly, the trend shows that the number of Americans living with type 2 […]

Kitchn’s Delicious Links column highlights recipes we’re excited about from the bloggers we love. Follow along every weekday as we post our favorites.
Pasta is probably my favorite thing to cook for dinner. I like to stand and fuss over the sauce, and I especially love when the recipe says to adjust seasonings “to taste,” because that means I basically have carte blanche to eat my whole dinner standing over the pan, before it ever gets to the table. I don’t know how anyone resists filling up on “tastes” while stirring the pasta and sauce together — especially if the pan is full of a dreamy wonder of beef, cheese, tomatoes, and cream like this one from Damn Delicious.

On September 26, 2017, I received an email from an individual who was a bit hesitant to make the changes needed to create her next level, but she made those changes and one year later she is now an important member of my Warrior Body program and has become someone who has set an example for many.

If you’re hosting Thanksgiving this year, there is one thing that can be easy to overlook when putting out the dessert spread: the coffee. After that big meal, a small cup of hot joe really hits the spot — especially with some pie. Here’s what you need to know.

I think that the best thing about Thanksgiving (aside from spending it with friends and family members) is the turkey. You eat it the day of with piles of gravy, that night in sandwiches slathered with cranberry sauce, and often for many days after in different dishes. So, if you’re like me, having too little turkey can be a total disaster. Do you know how to choose the right amount of turkey to feed your Thanksgiving Day guests?

Here’s a thing I’m certain we can all agree on: Typically the best sides on the Thanksgiving table are meatless. Whether you’re planning on eating the turkey or not, you’ll definitely need some killer side dish recipes. Here are 25 vegetarian salads, stuffings, mashes, and casseroles for your Thanksgiving spread.

I’ve always felt very neutral about pecan pie. You won’t ever find me rushing to make pecan pie, but I certainly won’t turn down a slice if it comes my way. These maple “pecan pie” bars, on the other hand, are a fantastically different thing. In fact, they are everything I’ve always wished pecan pie would be, I just didn’t know it yet.

While you can certainly make mashed potatoes without any tools other than a spoon or fork, a more specialized tool really is best. Light and fluffy, smooth and creamy, or thick and chunky: no matter how you like your mashed potatoes, here are three tools to help get the job done right.

Hi, everyone. Hope you’re enjoying your Sunday morning. For those of you accustomed to receiving Sunday With Sisson in your inbox, I wanted to give you a heads up that the team and I are making some changes (just technical) with the newsletter and “Sunday With Sisson” for just a few weeks. Some of you may notice some temporary interruption in your email delivery from MDA. It’s all part of upgrading our systems. Unfortunately, there’s never a good time for these things.
In the meantime, I’ll be posting “Sunday With Sisson” letters each Sunday on the blog until we’re back to our full mailing capacity. Enjoy, and—as always—thanks for joining me here.
Good morning, folks,
I’ve been thinking about our two main nervous systems: the central nervous system and the autonomic nervous system.
Regular waking conscious experience is controlled by our central nervous system. It’s the overseer or the director or the pilot (even if you subscribe to the idea that this effect of “controlling” your actions is an illusion, it feels like it).
But then there’s another system that lies underneath our conscious experience—the autonomic nervous system. The ANS regulates all the automatic and subconscious functions in the body, like breathing, heart rate, sexual arousal, stress, fear, and elation. These are the things we’re aware of but can’t directly control. We experience sexual arousal but can’t just will it to occur. It happens to us.
And our autonomic nervous system is always watching us….
Say we spend a few weeks mulling over a big decision, like asking for a raise, quitting a job, or pursuing a new business venture. At the end of the day, however, we decide to stay the course and forgo the risk.
Or maybe we want to approach that attractive man or woman, but ultimately we do not.
What is our ANS learning about us?
When you’re faced with a scary decision or situation and you shrink, your ANS learns that you’re weak, afraid, and lesser than the thing that scared you. Any future encounters with scary things will be even scarier, because your ANS has adapted to your decision. It just wants to keep you safe. If you shrunk away from the job interview or pretty girl or hard workout, it’s going to assume that you did so out of self-preservation. The next time you see a girl you like or want to change your profession or get back in the gym, it’s going to be even harder to go through with it.
Small decisions don’t escape the ANS either. If you pause over the donuts in the break room for a few seconds, thinking about how much you shouldn’t eat the maple bar, and then grab and devour the maple bar, you just sent a very strong message to your ANS:
This guy can’t resist maple bars. He loves maple bars. They’re probably good for him. He should eat maple bars all the time.
And then it gets much harder to resist the maple bar in the future.
What if we could reframe our decisions this way? What if, for this week, we could see each choice, each temptation, each opportunity as a means to calibrate our ANS. I wonder what the payoff could be if we chose to invest in a new psychological set point. We’re always one decision away from claiming a bolder version of ourselves.
Enjoy your Sunday, everybody.
Best,
Mark
