Books for Women
10 Down And 7 To Go!
First the bad news. In the decades leading up to menopause, the average
woman can expect to gain 29 pounds. The better news is found on the
pages of Fit Not Fat at Forty Plus, an outstanding diet and fitness guide
from the editors of Prevention magazine. Grounded in the latest research
and packed with practical suggestions, the book recognizes the unique
gravity-defying needs of women over 40. Early chapters offer a crash
course on the midlife fitness crisis of lowered estrogen and sluggish
metabolism. To win the metabolic war, you must change the way you eat

and exercise, warn the authors. Other chapters offer hope and help for
women with suddenly flabby arms, tight jeans, afternoon fatigue, and a
bathroom scale that won’t budge. The key is developing a personal diet
and fitness strategy to boast metabolic rate and counter hormonal shifts.
One standout section explains why stress feeds fat cells and how to define
whether you are feeling hungry or stressed. Readers who follow these
metabolism-boosting workouts and sample eating plans can lose the over-
the-hill birthday cards. --Barbara Mackoff
Personal Review: Fit Not Fat at 40-Plus: The Shape-Up Plan
That Balances Your Hormones, Boosts Your Metabolism, and
Fights Female Fat in Your Forties-And Beyond by Editors
Prevention Health Books for Women
I can highly recommend this book to any woman who wants to shed a few
pounds gained along the way (over 40 or not)! It's not that there is
anything revolutionary about it, it just reminds you in a positive way about
everything you ever learned about healthy eating and exercise...plus a few
extra gems that you didn't know about. Which is not to give it justice. I
love how the book is very practical and helps you make your own plan that
you can live with. I use the weekly planning sheets and daily tracking
sheets religiously. My husband has laughed at my ridiculous calorie-
counting, but, you know, it works and so I'm sticking with it!! 10 pounds
down, 7 to go!
The book is very well thought-out and offers something for everybody. It's
just what I was looking for.
