Book Reviews of Fight Fat After Forty: The Revolutionary Three-Pronged Approach That Will Break Your Stress-Fat Cycle and Make You Healthy, Fit, and Trim for Life
Book Review: Read this when you are 35
Summary: 5 Stars
It is mentioned that this is the second half of our life so this is the chance to get fit and stay that way. The book is helpful to perimenopausal women since we are prone to toxic stress. There is a list of what triggers this stress that settles in around the waistline. We must learn how to distinguish between hunger and stress induced appetite. Hormones play a big part in how we consume food during various times of the month as well.
The book is presented in two parts that includes the three templates of stress-resilient regrouping, nutrition and physical activity. There is also a chapter on how to learn to lift weight to lose the weight. Part I goes into how stress puts on fat. There is also a glossary, index, listing of major muscle groups as well as a walking test.
The woman who are in this age group now are also the first ones to have been on the pill so this is interesting to the researchers on dieting and stress. Many years ago physical activity was a major part of daily life but that has changed over the years with this generation suffering.
Before you can begin the weight training you need to evaluate and assess your level. Fight Fat After Forty has two worksheets to complete the same day as the heart check is done. The keep it sublimely simple (KISS) home workout plan is the primer for the over forty woman with the reminder to drink plenty of water and avoid dehydration. The saying, "fitness over forty rules" seems to work for me!
Fight Fat After Forty is based on research from the National Institute of Health. Dr. Peeke is a clinician and scientist who first read about Stress and eating in an article in Shape magazine back in 1988 that spoke of the correlation between stress and fat. There are many stages of stress, which result in making you sick, fat and frazzled. I have used the term frazzled to describe me many times.
I feel this is a book to start reading at the age of thirty-five to identify your target stress factors, changing the way you identify foods and implement an exercise plan that is life long benefiting. By listening to your body you can stay ahead of the fat that shows up after forty and before the menopause arrives.

Summary of Fight Fat After Forty: The Revolutionary Three-Pronged Approach That Will Break Your Stress-Fat Cycle and Make You Healthy, Fit, and Trim for Life
It's a fact: stress makes you fat. Renowned clinician and scientist Dr. Pamela Peeke goes beyond diet and exercise with a lifestyle program that shows women how to stop being diet "POWs" ("Prisoners Of Weight") or victims of "Toxic Stress" and how to evolve into physically and mentally stress-resilient individuals. Peeke helps women identify their stress-eating profiles (Are you a stress-overeater? A stress-undereater?) and explains that to remove weight, you have to lift weight. She explains what to eat and, equally as important, when to eat by navigating the afternoon "CortiZone," the hours of highest vulnerability to stress eating. Learn how to put it all together through the fine art of regrouping.Women can tailor this accessible program to their individual needs using Peeke's three behavior templates:
? Stress-resilient nutrition
? Stress-resilient physical activity
? Stress-resilient regrouping
Dr. Peeke's program is a must for women who want to break the stress-fat cycle that has thickened their after-forty waistlines.
If you're a woman over 40, you are undergoing physical and emotional changes, declining metabolism, fat deposits at your waistline, decreased energy, mood swings, food cravings--do we need to continue this list? Now pile on chronic, long-term stress (which the author terms toxic stress), which hits women between 40 and 60 and leads to self-destructive eating behavior. "Uncontrolled or toxic stress keeps the refueling appetite on, thus inducing stress eating and weight gain," Peeke explains. The stress triggers are constant, so the body never gets to turn off the stress response. The weight gained from this chronic, toxic stress--toxic weight--settles inside the abdomen and is associated with heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
Peeke explains the association between stress and fat gain, and describes the stress/eating cycle ("the itch you can't scratch"). Then she teaches tools for "regrouping": formulating and following a contingency plan of nutrition, exercise, and self-care. Next are suggestions for a nutritional plan tied to stressful times of the day and an explanation of food needs after age 40. In the final chapters, Peeke nudges us to exercise to relieve stress, reduce body fat, and benefit overall health. Peeke is a highly regarded scientist and clinician who studies the link between stress and fat at the National Institutes of Health. She's also Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and works with Vice President Gore as the Medical Director of the National Race for the Cure for Breast Cancer. --Joan Price
