The healthiest people in the world eat low-carb, high protein, high fat diets. Protein gives you the feeling that you're full, more so than carbs or fat. Why? Because protein boosts your sensitivity to a hormone called leptin. This hormone tells your brain that you're full. Overeating stops.

What's best to eat?

Many traditional societies value meat, eggs (preferably grass-fed beef and eggs from free-range chickens fed a natural diet - bugs, grass, etc.) and full-fat dairy products from cows, goats and sheep that eat a natural (grass) diet: butter, cream, and non-pasteurized milk products.

To reduce your appetite and lose weight, eat less carbs and more protein. It's that easy. It's the way people have traditionally eaten for hundreds, for thousands of generations.

Remember, some foods were never eaten before because they are laboratory produced. Especially avoid Frankenstein foods such as high-fructose corn syrup, margarine, canola oil, trans fats, tofu, soy oil, corn oil and vegetable oil. Eating protein is one of the easiest, most reliable ways of triggering high-speed fat loss. You'll also be healthier and have more energy!

The flu vaccine and Alzheimer's:

According to Hugh Fudenberg, MD, if an individual has had five consecutive flu shots his/her chances of getting Alzheimer's disease is ten times higher than if they had one, two or no shots. (6) Dr. Fudenberg explained that the aluminum and mercury in the flu shot (also in many childhood shots) build up in the brain causing damage. Is this why Alzheimer's is expected to quadruple? (7) Note: Ethylene glycol, phenol, formaldehyde and other chemicals are also in the flu shot.

Greek yogurt is growing in popularity, but is it really better than standard yogurt? Discover the many benefits of Greek yogurt. Yogurt is growing in popularity as more people discover the ease of opening a carton and eating this probiotic rich food for breakfast or a mid-morning snack

Not only can you eat yogurt straight from the carton, it can be used as a base to make healthy salad dressings, sauces, smoothies, yogurt based ice creams, and desserts. Versatility never tasted so good! One type of yogurt that's more recent to the American supermarket, but growing in popularity is Greek yogurt. What are the benefits of Greek yogurt and is it better than standard yogurt?

The Benefits of Greek Yogurt:

It's higher in protein.

If you're looking for a good source of protein, Greek yogurt wins out over regular yogurt. Most commercial Greek yogurts at supermarkets have almost double the protein content of standard brands such as Dannon. One cup of plain, low-fat convention yogurt has between ten and twelve protein grams, whereas most Greek yogurts average around twenty.

It's lower in carbohydrates.

For the Carb watcher yogurt is the better choice. Whereas standard yogurts have fifteen to seventeen grams of carbs, Greek yogurt averages around nine with some brands having even less. Greek yogurt is also a better choice for those with diabetes for obvious reasons.

It's thicker and creamier.

Greek yogurt has a thicker, creamier texture which many people find appealing. Standard yogurt is generally strained two times, whereas Greek yogurt is triply strain to remove more of the whey. When whey is removed, so is water which creates a thicker, more substantial yogurt product. For this reason, thickeners aren't added to Greek yogurt, yet it still has an appealing texture. Because it's thicker and creamier, it's often better than standard yogurt for making dips and sauces.

It's lower in sodium.

If you're watching your salt intake, Greek yogurt is the better choice. It often contains as much as fifty percent less sodium than standard yogurts.

The Disadvantages of Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is a good option both from a taste and a health standpoint, although standard yogurt has a few health advantages over its Mediterranean counterpart. Standard yogurt has two to three times the bone building calcium of Greek yogurt. Why During the triple straining process, some of the calcium is removed from Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt can also be higher in fat and calories, but non-fat Greek yogurts are still naturally creamy, meaning you don't need the full-fat version for great taste and texture.

If you can't decide which to choose, why not keep them in the refrigerator to enjoy when a craving hits? They're both a good alternative to high calorie desserts.

COOKING WITH OLIVE OIL: If you're using olive oil for pan-frying foods, remember this: In Mediterranean cooking, they add the olive oil after the cooking, not before! This avoids exposing the olive oil to high temperatures which denatures the oils and creates health-harming chemical compounds. (Any oil that's cooked at high temperatures becomes less healthy.)

HOW ARE YOU FEELING? Yesterday a client asked me a question: "How come when I eat "X" I feel yucky afterward?" Good question. Have you ever asked a similar question? Now let me ask you a question. How come you feel sad when someone you know dies? How come you feel happy when someone tells you that you look beautiful? How come you feel pain when you sprain your ankle? Maybe you are thinking that the answers to these questions are obvious. The body is responding to the incident and sending you a message. It is the same with food. If you feel crappy after eating certain foods, that is your body's way of saying "Please don't eat that any more". Why is it that we are in touch with feelings of happiness, sadness and pain but not in touch with feelings related to food? Why don't we recognize those signals that are screaming at us. If certain foods give you heartburn - that is a message. If certain foods give you bad gas - that is a message. If you have a bad headache after drinking alcohol - that is a message. Sometimes I feel like a translator at the UN because for most people those messages are a foreign language and people just don't understand them. If you really want to be successful at achieving weight loss and optimal health, you need to start listening to the language your body is speaking and start to interpret it. Having lived in Japan for 2 1/2 years, I know how hard it is to learn a new language but if you are committed to the process, it will come. Of course no one expects you to be fluent yet so we are here to help with that. Don't hesitate to ask for a translation. Linda Miner.

Grain, Corn and Legumes Defined

Cereal crops are mostly grasses cultivated for their edible seeds (actually a fruit called a grain). Cereal grains are grown in greater quantities worldwide than any other type of crop and provide more calories to the human race. In some developing nations, cereal grains constitute practically the entire diet of common folk. In developed nations, cereal consumption is more moderate but still substantial. The word cereal has its origin in the goddess of grain, Ceres. Staple food grains are often called corn.

The Cereal crops

1) True cereals

The cereal crops are (in approximate order of greatest annual production):

wheat, the primary cereal of temperate regions

rice, the primary cereal of tropical regions

maize, a staple food of peoples in North America, South America, and Africa and of livestock worldwide

the millets, a group of similar but distinct cereals that form an important staple food in Asia and Africa.

sorghum, important staple food in Asia and Africa and popular worldwide for livestock

rye and triticale, important in cold climates

oats, formerly the staple food of Scotland and popular worldwide for livestock

barley, grown for malting and livestock on land too poor for wheat

teff, popular in Ethiopia but scarcely known elsewhere

wild rice, grown in small amounts in the USA

spelt, a close relative of wheat

2) Pseudocereals

In addition, several non-grasses are grown for their seeds. These pseudocereals include (in no particular order):

buckwheat

amaranth

quinoa

Definition: Corn

Tall annual cereal grass bearing kernels on large ears: widely cultivated in America in many varieties; the principal cereal in Mexico and Central and South America since pre-Columbian times.

Definitions: Legume

An erect or climbing bean or pea plant of the family Leguminosae.

The fruit or seed of any of various bean or pea plants consisting of a two-valved case that splits along both sides when ripe and having the seeds attached to one edge of the valves.

The seedpod of a leguminous plant (such as peas or beans or lentils).

Saturated fats NOT linked to heart disease: Meta-analysis: Dietary intakes of saturated fats are not linked to cardiovascular disease, so says a meta-analysis of 21 studies from across the world.

Data from almost 350,000 subjects obtained from 21 studies indicated that dietary intakes of saturated fat are not associated with increases in the risk of either coronary heart disease (CHD) or cardiovascular disease (CVD), US researchers report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

"LET THE GAMES BEGIN": Well Olympic Fever has reached Epic proportions here in Vancouver and I can't tell you how exciting it is to be the Host City. My kids got to see the torch relay as it passed through our neighborhood this week. I actually got to hold one of the torches yesterday because a friend of mine was in the relay and she got to keep hers so she let me hold it. It was very exciting. The Opening Ceremonies are tonight at 6pm Pacific and I know it will be very emotional for me to see many of my childhood heroes entering the stadium for the final leg of the relay. I really hope that Rick Hansen gets to light the cauldron (he is known as the "Man in Motion" because he rode his wheelchair all around the world to create awareness about spinal cord injuries), but everyone is expecting it will be Wayne Gretsky who is considered the greatest Hockey Player of all time. Although I don't like how commercial the Olympics have become, and it drives me insane that Coke and McDonald's are two of the biggest sponsors, I am still incredibly inspired by the athletes and their amazing determination. It makes me want to be better. I hope that all of you will be equally inspired and find the "champion" inside of you that is eager to get out.

QUINOA: I am a huge fan of quinoa, as many of my clients know, because it is probably the best grain available in terms of nutrients and protein value and it tastes good. Since I have trouble tolerating gluten, I turn to quinoa as my grain of choice since it is naturally gluten-free. Today, I received an email regarding a new study on quinoa and buckwheat due to the growing demand for gluten-free products. It states that the polyphenol content of quinoa and buckwheat flours may enhance the nutritional profile of gluten-free formulations, and may be a better option than amaranth, says a new study. “Improving the nutritional quality of gluten-free products is essential, as the presently available gluten-free products in the market have been shown to be of poor nutritional quality,” wrote the researchers, led by Eimear Gallagher from the Ashtown Food Research Centre, Teagasc. According to their results, published in Food Chemistry, bread made from quinoa and buckwheat had significantly higher nutritional content in terms of antioxidants and polyphenol than wheat bread. “Therefore, these pseudocereal seeds represent feasible ingredients in gluten-free baking for increasing the antioxidant properties and phenolic content of gluten-free breads, and improving their overall nutritional quality,” they stated. It's easy to find quinoa recipes online. You can go to allrecipes.com or savvyvegetarian.com to name two. Try to incorporate some of this healthy grain into your diet.

DO YOU DRINK SODA?? Drinking two or more soft drinks per week may double the risk of developing pancreatic cancer, suggests the first study of its kind in an Asian population.

People who consume soft drinks on a regular basis are also more likely to have poorer lifestyles, but links between sugar-sweetened beverages on pancreatic cancer do have some biological plausibility, according to findings published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.

“The high levels of sugar in soft drinks may be increasing the level of insulin in the body, which we think contributes to pancreatic cancer cell growth,” said Mark Pereira, PhD, from the University of Minnesota.

SUFFERING FROM DEPRESSION: The US Military is now looking at providing Supplemental Omege 3 to troops to help with issues of depression and post-traumatic stress. "Douglas MacKay, vice president, scientific and regulatory affairs, Council for Responsible Nutrition said: “Increasing omega-3 consumption amongst US troops has incredible potential to improve health and reduce health care costs for US troops. There is evidence that higher levels of omega-3 fats have multiple health benefits, some of which are particularly important for soldiers.” Of particular concern for military planners are the high rates of depression and suicide together with physical/mental stress associated with combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. The military application of omega-3s was the subject of a conference, entitled ‘Nutritional armor for the warfighter: can omega-3 fatty acids enhance stress resilience, wellness, and military performance?’ staged last December." I'm very happy to see the US Military taking this very positive step towards natural therapies for these hard working men and women. Linda Miner

Show more Linda graduated with an Honors degree in Economics from Queen’s University and worked in the stock market in Toronto, Canada for about 5 years. But after developing asthma and suffering burnout in an industry that centered on greed and lies, she decided to pack her bags and move to Japan. In Japan, away from everything that Linda knew to be “normal”, she decided to seek out the answers to her health problems and found that there was a world of knowledge available that could help her. Linda found Nutrition. Earl Mindell’s “Vitamin Bible” was the first book she read on the subject and this lead to an obsession to learn more in this vast field. Initially, Linda just wanted to get rid of her recently developed asthma and the eczema that had plagued her since childhood, but she soon discovered that she loved everything she was learning and wanted to share this new found knowledge with the world.

Eventually, this passion lead Linda to pursue a Diploma in Advanced Nutrition and, in the process, she became a Registered Sports Nutrition Advisor. Linda’s thirst for knowledge continued to grow, so she went on to become a Certified Holistic Nutritionist. Most recently, Linda discovered the incredible science behind Metabolic Typing and has achieved the rank of Certified Metabolic Typing Advisor. Metabolic Typing truly considers the individual and the unique nutritional requirements that all people have. With the diagnostic tools used in Metabolic Typing, Linda has been able to take her Nutrition Practice to a new level.

Linda runs a very successful private Nutritional Counseling practice in Delta, BC in addition to working with a local Wellness Center.

Linda is eager to share all the knowledge she has gathered, and continues to stay current on nutrition research to help her clients achieve the optimal health and wellness they desire.

Linda's Philosophy

“One Size Does NOT Fit All”

Linda believes we are all unique and, as such, have unique needs. No one questions the idea that people have different personalities, so why wouldn’t we have different nutritional requirements as well? The answer is that, of course, we do. Linda works with each client individually and, through an extensive Metabolic Typing test and a series of intake information, determines what is best for that person. Linda’s clients are thrilled with this approach because they are finally being seen for who they are. The food plans Linda is able to generate for her clients are almost always what they instinctively want to eat, but thought they shouldn’t due to mainstream information. This is very liberating and leads to phenomenal results quite quickly.

Metabolic Typing requires no calorie counting, weighing of food, or monitoring intake. The benefit of eating the specific foods that are best for your unique body is that it allows weight levels to normalize, blood sugar to stabilize, disease to resolve and disappear, and energy levels to return. This process is about putting the right “fuel” into your body so that it can perform at its optimal level.

Through a fine-tuning process, Linda helps her clients arrive at a food plan that will suit them for the rest of their lives. Show less

"Linda has been able to do something for me than none of my doctors or specialists were able to do - see me as an individual with the power to heal myself. The individualized food plan that Linda gave me along with the incredible support and advice has helped me to feel better than I have in years. I have already lost 14lbs in 2.5 months, have much more energy and generally have a better outlook on life. I know I still have a long way to go but thanks to Linda, I have hope again and I know I will heal."

"iChange and Linda Miner are somewhat like a dating service. You input everything you want out of life along with your own personal characteristics, physically and emotionally, and she matches you with a lifestyle plan that is suited to all of your own individual needs. Poof! It works like magic. For years, I searched for just the right way of living my life to make me happy and healthy. I "dated" diets and were infatuated with them at the start, but the infatuation would wear off. I would leave them by the wayside more miserable and less healthy both physically and emotionally. Yes, I was heartless, but they didn't give me what I needed. The metabolic typing that Linda offers along with the personal daily support is a match made in heaven for me. I am happier and healthier and committed. I think I am in this relationship for a lifetime."
