BY EATING LESS WHITE FLOUR

Jim Nesbitt cross-trained five days a week and was fairly trim at 174 lbs. Except, he says, “my belly stuck out.” Frustrated, the Tustin, Calif., computer network broker, 46, hired nutritionist Stella Metsovas, who noticed he ate a lot of floury foods. “I love my pizza, pasta and bread,” says the dad of 7-year-old twins. He now embraces high-protein snacks like nuts and drinks less wine but still eats his favorites in moderation. “I’ll have pizza with my kids maybe twice a month.” The result? “For the first time in 30 years, I have a flat stomach.”

BEFORE 174 LBS. LOST 12 LBS.!

Nutritionist, Stella Metsovas and Your Diet’s Role In Preventing Breast Cancer

BY COLLEEN OAKLEY | 09/03/09
This fall, October will mark the twenty-fifth year of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. If you aren’t aware of breast cancer by now, you’ve been living under a rock, but this is a great opportunity to get up to speed on new research on this all-too-common disease.
Just in: A recent study in Sweden suggests that women who consume foods with a high glycemic index (meaning that they spike your blood glucose and insulin levels), have a higher risk for breast cancer.

Foods rich in carbohydrates are likely to have a high-glycemic load, but that doesn’t mean you should rule out bread altogether… you just have to be choosy. “Select whole, unprocessed foods, like breads with 100 percent whole grains,” says Stella Metsovas, a certified nutritionist in Laguna Beach, California, “and make sure you’re always getting in some protein and monounsaturated fats with every snack and meal.” Researchers came up with a formula to calculate the glycemic load for each food, but Metsovas says there’s no need to worry about the math.
“An optimal dietary intake shouldn’t rely on numbers when selecting what foods are best to consume,” she says. Instead, she says, steer clear of obvious culprits like white pasta and bread, and stock up on fruits and vegetables for long-term health.

Just Add EVOO.
Rachael Ray may be on to something. A new study published in BMC Cancer Journal found that compounds in extra virgin olive oil are known to kill certain types of breast cancer. In order to best utilize these cancer-fighting agents, don’t cook with EVOO, as heat can damage the active compounds. Instead, add it to recipes in room temperature form.

Facing an Overweight
Electorate, Barack Obama
Might Find Low Body Fat a
Drawback
By AMY CHOZICK
Speaking to donors at a San Diego fund-raiser last month, Barack Obama reassured the crowd that he wouldn’t give in to Republican tactics to throw his candidacy off track.
“Listen, I’m skinny but I’m tough,” Sen. Obama said.
But in a nation in which 66% of the voting-age population is overweight and 32% is obese, could Sen. Obama’s skinniness be a liability? Despite his visits to waffle houses, ice-cream parlors and greasy-spoon diners around the country, his slim physique just might have some Americans wondering whether he is truly like them.
The candidate has been criticized by opponents for appearing elitist or out of touch with average Americans. A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll conducted in July shows Sen. Obama still lags behind Republican John McCain among white men and suburban women who say they can’t relate to his background or perceived values.
“He’s too new … and he needs to put some meat on his bones,” says Diana Koenig, 42, a housewife in Corpus Christi, Texas, who says she voted for Sen. Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary.
“I won’t vote for any beanpole guy,” another Clinton supporter wrote last week on a Yahoo politics message board.
The last overweight president to be elected was 335-pound William Howard Taft in 1908. As for tall and lanky presidents, “you might have to go back to Abraham Lincoln” in 1860, says presidential historian Stephen Hess. “Most presidents were sort of in the middle.”
Vote & Discuss
Does physical appearance affect your impression of the president? Would a candidate’s body type factor in to your decision for president? Vote and discuss.
According to Sen. Obama’s Chicago physician David Scheiner, the senator works out regularly, jogs up to three miles a day when he can, and has “no excess body fat.” Dr. Scheiner didn’t disclose his patient’s exact weight, but medical observers estimate that the 6-foot-1.5-inch-tall senator appears to weigh at least 10 pounds less than the roughly 190 pounds that the average American man of his height weighs. The Obama campaign declined to comment for this article.
Though Sen. McCain cannot lift weights due to injuries he suffered as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, he “walked the Grand Canyon rim to rim in August 2006” and hikes whenever he can find the time, according to John D. Eckstein, an internist in Scottsdale, Ariz., who treats Sen. McCain. At roughly 165 pounds, his weight is slightly above average for a 5-foot-7-inch man his age, according to nutritionists.
While most voters don’t base their decision on physical appearance alone, a candidate’s height, weight and overall look can play a big role in what Americans perceive as “presidential,” says Thomas “Mack” McLarty, former chief of staff to President Bill Clinton.
Throw in the calories involved in a modern-day presidential campaign – often compared to a beauty pageant and a competitive eating contest rolled into one – and presidential candidates have an added challenge.
“It’s very difficult to eat well when you’re constantly on the road, attending dinners, lunches, barbecues,” says New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson. He says he grew a beard when he withdrew his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in January “to hide one of my chins.”
Sen. Obama, 46, wasn’t always svelte, and friends and family members have described him as a “chubby” child growing up in Indonesia and Hawaii.
Raised by a Midwestern grandmother, Sen. Obama didn’t begin to slim down until he played basketball regularly in high school.
These days he stays away from junk food and instead snacks on MET-Rx chocolate roasted-peanut protein bars and drinks Black Forest Berry Honest Tea, a healthy organic brew. (Sen. McCain is said to have a weakness for Butterfinger candy bars, jelly beans, and coffee and doughnuts from Dunkin’ Donuts.) On a campaign stop in May at Lew’s Dari-Freeze in Milwaukie, Ore., Sen. Obama’s wife, Michelle, and their two daughters ate ice-cream sundaes and onion rings, while Sen. Obama grinned for the cameras and swirled a spoon around in his quickly melting ice-cream concoction, taking only a few nibbles.
During a July family appearance on “Access Hollywood,” Sen. Obama’s 7-year-old daughter, Sasha, revealed that her dad doesn’t like ice cream or sweets. “Everybody should like ice cream,” she said.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a self-described “recovering foodaholic” who shed 110 pounds from his 5-foot-11 frame in two years and made fitness and nutrition central to his White House run, says voters “probably want someone who takes care of his health … as an example of the kind of personal discipline necessary to do the job.” But too much time in the gym can cause problems, as Sen. Obama learned last month after he made three stops to local Chicago gyms in one day, for a total of 188 minutes. The marathon workout session sparked a widely circulated Associated Press article titled “Obama Becomes a Gym Rat.” In it, the reporter wrote, “Sometimes it’s hard to tell if Barack Obama is running for president of the United States or Mr.
Universe.”
Republicans have recently picked up on the senator’s fitness regimen. On Wednesday, the McCain campaign launched a new ad titled “Celeb” that compares Sen. Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. In a memo to reporters explaining the ad, McCain campaign manager Rick Davis wrote, “Only celebrities like Barack Obama go to the gym three times a day.”
Obama spokeswoman Linda Douglass says likening Sen. Obama to a Hollywood celebrity shows that Sen. McCain “is engaging in the same old negative politics of Karl Rove” that Americans are tired of.
Food faux pas have plagued presidential candidates in the past. On a 1976 visit to Texas, Gerald Ford bit into a tamale with the corn husk still on. He lost the election to Jimmy Carter. In 2003, Mass. Sen. John Kerry was labeled effete when he ordered a Philly cheesesteak with Swiss instead of the usual Cheez Whiz topping.
Sen. Obama’s chief message strategist Robert Gibbs served as Sen. Kerry’s press secretary during the cheesesteak debacle. A few days later at the Iowa State Fair, famous for its deep-fried Twinkies and beer booths, Mr. Gibbs noticed Sen. Kerry buying a $4 strawberry smoothie. He made a frantic call to campaign staffers: “Somebody get a f-ing corn dog in his hand – now!” Sen. Obama drew cringes on a campaign stop in Adel, Iowa, in July 2007, when he asked a crowd of farmers: “Anybody gone into a Whole Foods lately and seen what they charge for arugula?” The upscale supermarket specializing in organic food doesn’t have a single store in Iowa.
Lately, Sen. Obama is more careful. On a campaign stop in Lebanon, Mo., on Wednesday, Sen. Obama visited with voters at Bell’s Diner and promptly announced “Well, I’ve had lunch today but I’m thinking maybe there is some pie.” He settled on fried chicken and told the crowd he’s become a junk-food lover. “The healthy people, we’ll give them the breasts,” he told the waitress. “I’ll eat the wings.” Struggles with weight-loss, on the other hand, can make a candidate seem more human. Some aides winced when footage of a sweat-drenched Mr. Clinton jogging into a McDonald’s in Little Rock, Ark., aired ahead of the 1992 campaign. But the footage is widely believed to have helped the then-governor of Arkansas connect to voters in conservative-leaning states like Georgia and Tennessee, which eluded Democrats in 2000 and 2004. These states have a statistically higher number of overweight people than Democratic strongholds.
“It says: ‘He’s just like one of us,”’ says Arthur English, a political-science professor at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock who used to see Mr. Clinton stop in for fries and a Big Mac after his three-mile jog.
Sen. Clinton has said she tried Weight Watchers to keep the pounds off during her presidential bid – a tidbit that appealed to her core of middle-age female supporters that Sen. Obama is now trying to woo.
Sen. Obama is not without vices. According to Dr. Scheiner’s medical report, he has quit smoking “on several occasions and is currently using Nicorette gum with success.” People close to the senator say he began smoking nearly three decades ago and smoked about five cigarettes a day.
Some voters say that even this adds to Sen. Obama’s somewhat superhuman persona. “I mean, really, who quits smoking and doesn’t gain any weight?” says 30- year-old Stella Metsovas, an Obama supporter in Laguna Beach, Calif.

What Can I Eat on a Detox Diet? Nutritionist Stella Metsovas Explains

admin — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 21:40:29 +0000

“What can I eat on a detox” is a question I’m commonly asked by my clients? Working as a clinical nutritionist in Los Angeles and Orange County, I hear the “Oh, I’m on a detox” statement quite often. It could be at a coffee/tea shop, out to lunch, or at the gym. Whenever I hear this statement, I’m always curious about what kind of fast in which they’re engaged, but never indulge in asking.

As a clinical nutritionist who specializes in human nutrition and metabolism, I’m aware of two types of fasts: The one that makes sense and the other that is just plain stupid. Stanley Burroughs Master Cleanse is a colossal example of the just plain stupid fast. Those who partake are sipping lemonade sweetened with maple syrup for a minimum of 10 days — and even as long as 45 days.

Personally, I rarely “slam” individuals beliefs, especially those pertaining to health. But how could anyone believe that this fast — which includes lemon, water, maple syrup and cayenne pepper — could actually bring the body back to health. First and foremost, you’re causing more stress to the system by rapidly moving from the average diet (which includes coffee, alcohol and processed foods), to an overnight famine-mode.

Most people today have compromised immune systems due to many factors, one of which is following their beliefs in diets such as The Master Cleanse. The compromised immune system could actually make you sicker and set you up for a big dietary crash. Losing muscle mass on the master cleanse is also a negative result of starving your body of nutrients. And here’s the worst part: Once Master Cleansers are finished with their fast, they inevitably return to their previous habits. As they return to their real-life consumption within a few days (the immune system is lowered because of the famine mode), you actually could be more prone to problems associated with being sick, including joint/muscle pain, lethargy, constipation and a host of other negative consequences.

Trust me, if you really want to fast properly, first figure out if you have any underlying intolerance to foods, e.g., food intolerance (Fact: food intolerance and sleep disorders go hand-in-hand). Gluten sensitivity affects nearly 12 percent of the population, making gluten sensitivity symptoms one of the most common food intolerance’s.

In office, I clinically test for food intolerance’s and gastrointestinal problems, and gather data to provide a low allergenic cleanse based on the results. The anti-inflammatory elimination diet prescribed is based on the results from the diagnostic data.

Is Honey Good For You? Stella explains in Delicious Living Magazine

admin — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 21:58:43 +0000

Women have used honey to sweeten their beauty routines for centuries: Cleopatra bathed in milk and honey to augment her youthful allure, and Queen Anne of England layered her locks with honey and oil to keep them lustrous and thick. Discover how ingredients from the hive can work for you.

HONEY

One of nature’s most delicious natural sweeteners, honey is equally versatile as a healing agent. “Honey displays antimicrobial properties and helps to retain moisture, making it appealing for many skin types,” says Christopher Watt, a licensed esthetician and owner of Christopher Watt Esthetics in West Hollywood. For this reason, Watt recommends washing acne-prone skin with a honey-based cleanser twice weekly. Honey is particularly effective on dry skin and hair, according to Frederique Keller, LAc, MH, president of the American Apitherapy Society, a New York-based organization that promotes bee products for natural healing. “Honey is hydrophilic, meaning it’s a natural humectant that attracts and retains skin’s moisture,” says Keller. Plus, it’s a natural preservative. “It doesn’t spoil or require synthetic preservatives, which are skin irritants at best, carcinogens at worst,” says Keller.

ROYAL JELLY

Worker bees secrete fatty acid-rich royal jelly from hypopharyngeal glands and feed it to larvae. The jelly is creamier and more like a serum than thick honey, according to Keller. Besides adding a decadent texture to products, royal jelly promotes cellular rejuvenation, making skin brighter and firmer. A study published in the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology found that royal jelly contains soothing pantothenic acid. This B vitamin is vital for the body’s stressresponse system and overall adrenal gland function, which promote clear, healthy skin. Like honey, royal jelly also fights viruses, inflammation, and aging with its antibacterial, antiviral, antiinflammatory, and antioxidant properties, making it a great remedy for redness due to hives, psoriasis, and eczema.
Stella Metsovas, CN, a nutritionist in California, recommends royal jelly for keeping skin looking youthful. “It’s a nutrient powerhouse,” she says. Metsovas, who has studied foods’ chemical properties for 15 years, says royal jelly may also balance hormones. For menopausal women, it can enhance skin’s appearance. It can also reduce or eliminate breakouts.

B E E SWAX

Worker bees secrete wax that contains traces of honey and royal jelly from glands on the sides of their bodies. “Beeswax has the same antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties as honey and royal jelly, but to a lesser degree,” explains Keller. Bees use wax to safeguard and seal honey in the honeycomb. In beauty products, beeswax holds ingredients together and thickens them. As an emulsifier, it is a stellar stand-in for petrolatum, a potentially toxic and nonrenewable petroleum-based chemical used in cosmetics. “Beeswax is completely nontoxic, and it’s the most sustainable of the hive products because bees constantly produce it,” says Keller. The Mayo Clinic ranks beeswax among the most effective ingredients in lip protection because it forms a protective barrier between your skin and the environment. It’s also a key ingredient in natural waterproof sun block because of its water-repellant hydrophobic properties.

In addition to this article, I’d like to clarify one of the most common questions I receive about honey and royal jelly: Should I supplement with royal jelly vs bee pollen? They’re both considered a ‘superfood’, so adding one or the other is optimal.

Royal jelly bee pollen for pregnancy is commonly used to help cases of infertility. There are a few studies correlating royal jelly enhancing fertility.

Optimum Health: Digestion and Metabolism
