Summary: 5 Stars
"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.

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
