Book Reviews of Fit to Live: The 5-Point Plan to be Lean, Strong, and Fearless for Life

Book Review: Superior!
Summary: 5 Stars

My family has always struggled with weight and stress. Often when I was a child, my mom would say, "I just ain't fit to live." Usually this was said when she was worn out or not feeling well, but it is an expression that had taken deep root as many times I also felt that I wasn't fit to live. That is what made me actually buy the book. One day as I was browsing the book store, this book almost jumped off the shelves into my hands by the title alone. I wasn't even sure what the book was suppose to really be about, but I knew I had to read it.

I wasn't disappointed! This book is real. I have been on just about every diet and life plan imagineable, and many being monitored by doctors. Usually, my doctors would reach a point where they would shrug and say that my metabolism was one step above a dead person. My last doctor even stated that I should try to live as well as I could because I would never lose weight. Talk about defeat!

Yet, when reading Dr. Peeke's book, a lightbulb went off. She called me on the carpet. It was as if she knew me. Toxic stress? You bet! Dissassociation? My favorite reaction to toxic stress. House organization? Chaos! Financial situation? Barely making it! Emotional and mental health? Not good after years of a messy marriage followed by a horrible divorce.

I have been trying to digest her book completely for a year. I still haven't gotten through all of it because each chapter has really touched me and brought me into a mediative state that has me working through many obstacles that have made up my life. I am a work in process, but everyday, I am getting mentally stronger. Weight wise, just knowing her information without really even hitting the problem yet, I have lost 41 pounds. I now think before I eat, deal with stress without food, walk some each week, and have emotionally released some serious toxic stress.

Her book is not a typical diet book or an exercise layout plan. If you are looking for an author who will do the work for you, she isn't it. (Seriously, all those who claim to do just that have ultimately failed in your life anyway!) She tells you like it is with a knowledge that makes your spirit just know you have finally found the truth and she entices you to do the work yourself, because if you don't do it, it isn't going to be a real solution. If you aren't really willing to make some serious adjustments in you life, than you really aren't wanting to find better health and weight loss. However, if you are ready, this is the book with the answers.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!
