"It's a Scientific Fact: Stress Makes You Fat."
In February of this year, I quit smoking. I've stuck with it, and I've been smoke free for seven months now. I did that by using Paul McKenna's Stop Smoking Meditation. I started working out, and I kept working out so I didn't gain any weight.
However, the problem is that I couldn't seem to lose any weight either. After doing various workouts for the last seven months, I still haven't lost any weight. What's worse is all of the cravings I had and being hungry all of the time. I thought this was the result of quitting smoking, and it should be temporary. It wasn't though. I stayed hungry all of the time, and I couldn't understand why.
After reading this book though, it's very clear to me. If you're a woman over 40 who is struggling to lose weight and can't, or you're having trouble with your hormones, then this book is definitely for you. It will help you get back on track by determining your stress profile and then eating, as well as exercising, accordingly.
To get you back on track, Dr. Peete employs a three pronged approach. First, you learn the technique of regrouping. This helps you determine when you are most stressed and then helps you decide what you will do during these times to reduce, and ultimately, eliminate negative stress.
Next, you learn how to use nutrition and eat not only the right things but at the right times. By avoiding late night eating and also by eating more frequently, you get your appetite under control and stop eating purely because you're stressed.
Finally, you learn the easiest and most important component of all: exercise. If ever there were a magic pill to solve your stress fat, as well as help you feel better, look better, and get rid of fat for good, then this is it. It's really that simple. Dr. Peete shows you how to do it right. You get the most return for your effort from your exercise, and you get fit, and get rid of fat for good.
Stop feeling like you are going crazy. That's exactly how I felt, and this book was a lifesaver. If you're ready to get fit, get rid of the fat, and look and feel younger, this book is definitely for you. |

"Menopot - a new phenomenon?" | 2009-02-21 |

| When you're in your fifties and you can't get down to a reasonable size, when you've tried just about every diet under the sun and Trinny and Suzanne tell you you're a bell shape, apparently you have a menopot!! Or so I found out. This book looks at what happens after menopause and helps you understand what has happened to you over the years. I'm still studying it, but it is making a whole heap of sense. |

"Fight Fat After Forty" | 2007-08-24 |

| This book is amazing! It is exactly the solution I needed! It explains, in detail, what is happening to my forty something body. My body has been changing for years now, and the weight has piled on and the old solutions just don't do it anymore. This book has helped me to understand that this has been going on for awhile and unless I change the way I treat my body, it will not get any better. It's not about DIET, but about what you eat and when you eat it. It's about recognizing when stress hits and navigating through it in a non-destructive manor. I now have hope and can't wait to begin this new journey. I realize that without my health and well being, I have nothing. Thanks! |

"Fight Fat Over Forty Explained and Helped a Lot" | 2007-04-23 |
| - Reviewed By carriekris |
I'm a Stress Overeater over 50 and this book explains a lot. It also explains why it is necessary, not overindulgent, to continue with my twice per week personal trainer for upper body and core workouts (which I rarely would do on my own) and my twice per week long hikes. I have made other changes which have helped me slowly but surely "remove" the excess weight. If I don't do something perfectly, I don't stress over it, which helps in the long run. For some reason, this book made sense to me and convinced me of what habits I need to stop, continue, and do more of.
I also can spot stress undereaters, and I am now more compassionate than envious (the ones I know are thin and look good, but I know they are also stressed.) |

"Fighting Fat After Forty is validating!" | 2006-07-28 |
| - Reviewed By User: A36L06SM5GNU8N |
| I haven't even finished this book and I've lost 10 pounds. This is the first weight loss in 5 years for me and all I did was change the times I eat! Pamela Peeke is the first doctor to truly understand and work with how a woman's body changes during perimenopause and menopause and it really validates you as a person. You aren't nuts; you really are changing. I can't believe how motivated I am. This is a definite buy and a book that I will save and give to my own daughter. |
