Book Reviews of Body-for-LIFE for Women: A Woman's Plan for Physical and Mental Transformation
Book Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm coming from the perspective of someone who owns both books. Although Phillips' writing style is highly motivating, Peeke spoke to me more as a woman myself and gave me a far more flexible plan that I could live by. She made suggestions for what to serve together and concise directions for more than just her workouts. She also gave me exercises that could be done at home with just a set of weights, some of which required a weight bench, but most of which I could do at home with minimal expense, versus Phillips which nearly required me to pay for an expensive gym membership. I've lost a total of 46 lbs and counting on the program, having started at 280 and now dropped down to 236. I have to tell you, not a single other plan has worked like this, and I feel more confident and energetic.
Bill's book got me off my butt, and Pamela's kept me off and gave me workable options that a busy college student who loves to cook could follow. In addition, I liked the discussions on the hormonal milestones and what I need to watch for as I grow older, as well as the nutrition tips she gave regarding feminine multivitamins. He Mind chapters helped alot too, as cheesy as the ideas are, they helped me alot in remembering that the answers weren't in the cupboards. I like the idea of mini-chills better than free days, a little snack I can choose to have once a day comforts me, versus an entire day when more than likely I would splurge nearly beyond recovery. I've improved much of my mental strength and take better care of myself, and I have Pamela to thank for those tools. Though she can seem as if she is talking down to you, women do have different bodies than men, and it is harder to move our weight because of how badly it wants to be there. I give this book a five because it worked, and I enjoyed it, regardless of the name. It feels like I could continue this plan as a LIFE plan, versus a dietary change in the short term to move my weight. I wouldn't want it any other way.
Summary of Body-for-LIFE for Women: A Woman's Plan for Physical and Mental Transformation
Drawing from cutting-edge research in gender-based medicine, women?s health expert and best-selling author Dr. Pamela Peeke tailors the original Body?for?LIFE program to the unique obstacles women face. With stunning before-and-after photos and testimonials providing motivation and inspiration, Body?for?LIFE for Women features a 12-week Mind-Mouth-Muscle eating, exercise, and emotional health program for women to help them achieve optimal health during their hormonal milestones.
It's not all about the jeans; flattening the tummy helps fight "Toxic Fat"--the disease-inducing weight Dr. Pamela Peeke teaches women how to conquer in Body-for-LIFE for Women. Her firm belief is, most women already know what they're supposed to do: eat a balanced diet, ditch junk food, exercise, think positively. Peeke strives to show her "girlfriends" how to accomplish these tasks, customizing plans for young and old. Clients' stories (including a 95-year-old who worked herself out of a wheelchair and into a martial arts class, and a 14-year old who replaced 90 lbs. of fat with a healthy load of self-confidence) lend credence to Peeke's 12-week weight reduction plan; so do the wowsie before-and-after pictures. Gender-specific scientific evidence supports Peeke's premise that women's bodies require different care than men's. But she doesn't stop there.
