Keto Means

Just put the bread directly on the hot pan—I use a non-stick pan, so no butter or oil needed, but a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet would be great here too—and let it crisp and brown, 1-2 minutes per side. It's great for getting pita, sandwich bread, and even baguettes nice and toasty.

Read More »Call me stubborn—many people have—but I refuse to own a toaster. Sure, people love them: toasters are great for making toast, crisping frozen waffles, even reheating pancakes. But I just don't think you need one, so why clutter precious counter space? Because the thing is, it's totally easy to toast bread without a toaster. When I want toast, I make it the easiest way possible: the skillet method. I simply heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, and toast the bread directly in the pan. Just put the bread directly on the hot pan—I use a non-stick pan, so no butter or oil needed, but a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet would be great here too—and let it crisp and brown, 1-2 minutes per side. It's great for getting pita, sandwich bread, and even baguettes nice and toasty. For several pieces of toast—say for a brunch crew—I turn on the oven and toast it on a sheet tray. If you like to eat a lot of toast, you might find the skillet method a little tiresome. I still say no way to a traditional toaster, but instead would suggest investing in something small and easily storable, like the Argentinian answer to the toaster—a stovetop grill made for toasting bread. You simply place the metal plate over a flame on the stove, and put the bread on the grates on top. As it heats up, grill marks will appear on the bread and it will toast. The pan is also good for reheating leftovers, like pizza or roasted vegetables. Despite my aversions to the toaster, I was actually given a toaster once as a housewarming gift, and I left it in the packaging for months. It sat in its box, staring at me, prodding me, until I finally opened it one day. But when I wanted toast, you know what I did? I heated a skillet and I toasted the bread in there. Since then, I've moved, and the toaster was left behind. But I still have my skillet, and I'm still making toast all the time.

Experts agree that your personal habits will play a role in when exactly certain health benefits will kick in. "There are very few definites here," says Vincent Pedre, M.D., an integrative physician and gut health expert who frequently recommends intermittent fasting diets to his patients. "Where you start seeing those benefits depends on what you eat, how healthy your gut health is, what kind of physical activity you're doing, etc." For example, letting calories slip into your fasting window, overeating calorie-dense foods like pizza during your eating window, not prioritizing sleep or physical activity, or making one of these intermittent-fasting mistakes could all delay or counteract the benefits of intermittent fasting. Even if you're formulating the rest of your diet and lifestyle perfectly, it's important to understand that the different health benefits associated with intermittent fasting will likely kick in at different durations of fasting. For example, weight loss may be triggered by a relatively short fasting window, while entering ketosis or triggering autophagy—that "self-cleaning" cellular process that boosts brain functioning and maybe even longevity—may take significantly longer. Unfortunately, not enough research has been conducted on all the different forms of intermittent fasting to provide any hard-and-fast rules. Based on personal and patient experiences, however, the doctors and researchers we spoke with were able to offer a general idea of how long you may need to fast to reap certain benefits, which we'll dive into below.
