Body-for-LIFE for Women: A Woman's Plan for Physical and Mental Transformation Paperback – April 14, 2009

I am working with clients seeking "weight removal" through the use of hypnotherapy, which addresses the "mind" part of the "mind, mouth, muscle" equation. I think Dr. Peeke's "Body for Life for Women" will be the "perfect FIT" for the ladies that come to me. I will encourage them to take the "12- Week Challenge"! Thank you ever so much for putting this together.

Finally.... a book is written for women by a female medical doctor and nutritionist. She is the voice of reason, and her writing style is conversational and clear. She covers everything from A-to-Z regarding what to expect in the four stages of a woman’s life. In her Mind-Mouth-Muscle format, which she outlines clearly in her book, she discusses what’s going on in your mind, what & how much you should eat, how to train your muscles. She includes clear drawings of specific exercises... gives you all the detail you need about everything. Ladies, this is a comprehensive guide for how to take charge of your life & health. It is as inspiring as it is practical... When I read it, I felt like she knew me personally (or has been reading my mail!) as she described things to expect as you grow older. She also includes motivational stories about real women, and includes “Before and After” photos of them as well as “X years later” photos, to show that her plan works. I’ve already bought and given this book to a dear friend, and also plan to buy it for my daughters as well. I simply cannot say enough good things about it and urge you to take charge of your life... no matter how old or overweight you are! You’re worth it.

Body for Life for Women should be considered an essential guide for women's preventive heath. Because it is focused specifically on the unique health and fitness needs and problems encountered by women, it is much more valuable for women than general health or diet texts. While it promotes a plan of "12 weeks to a fabulous body"; to see it as a mere diet or fitness book sells short its real value. A diet book may help us (temporarily) lose a few pounds; this book aims to show us how to create a healthy body in which we can live independently throughout our lives. As a spokesperson on health, Dr. Peeke is the real thing. She is an expert on the most current understanding of nutrition, preventive health and women's issues. The book is well written, inspiring and accessible. It gives women, especially those of us over 40, real hope and guidance as we wonder why "what we have always done" to stay fit is not working any more. I found especially interesting the section on life milestones, which describes a woman's health priorities at each stage of life. The mind principles, which urge us to examine the attitudes that shape our behavior, are a wake-up call. Dr. Peeke is a big fan of the Nike slogan "Just Do It". In this book, she tells us exactly what it is that we must just do and provides the tools and motivation to keep doing it.

I had this book years ago and it was so informative. Glad this seller had another copy. Arrived in perfect condition.

I work-out regularly---I have all my life. I gained weight because of a medication glitch. The nutritionist that I worked with to lose the weight recommended this book. I think that it is good for women who are just getting to know themselves physically and mentally. It was overkill for me. In order to keep my life sane, I adapted the workout routine in the book to fit with the fitness classes thet I was already taking. Had I tried to adhere to every tenant and suggestion in the book, I'd have been miserable and I'd have had to re-arrange my entire life. Plus, some of the weight-checking and note-posting that the author suggests would have served only to make me more depressed over my weight gain. I know myself and I took from the book what would work for me and left the rest.

As a 57 year old woman continually trying to attain mind/body health, marathon runner, psychologist, mother, I INSIST that all women purchase and keep next to their beds "Body for Life for Women." Pam's mantra is all about life style and taking care of yourself, without which you simply cannot nurture the other important people in your life. She understands that beauty is not a number on the scale or solely what exists externally. A beautiful woman is a whole woman, well-balanced and well cared for.I have bought copies of Pam's book for my grown daughters and all my female patients have homework assignments - to imprint the book on the brain. If you read nothing else the rest of the year, do yourself a favor and buy "Body For Life For Women." It is a treasure that will nourish you for the rest of your healthy life.Dr. Deborah Potashnik Hecker, Washington DC

For women of all ages

This is the results you are looking for. It's hard to eat 6 times a day. I only ate 5. I lost 35 pounds in the 12 week program. I am 5' 11. Was 180 which isn't bad but after program was 144 and could actually do a men's push up. A pull up as well. Please give this program a try. You can do it!!!! After two weeks if you miss a workout you'll miss it. You feel so much better when you do it! My suggestion is to do it first thing in the morning before anything else!!! GOOD LUCK 😀 DRINK LOTS OF WATSR!!!!

El libro me parece que es muy bueno, la manera de convencerte y explicar desde un punto de vista saludable lo que uno tiene que cuidar, te da la pauta para abrir la mente e iniciar hacer el cambio en la vida. Considara no solo el ejercicio sino la importancia de las porciones de una buena alimentacion considerando la etapa de vida de cada mujer.

Bought the audio as well - love to listen to it. Also bought the workout. - have not seen it yet.Bought the whole set for my sister and she LOVES the book - finds that it re-encourages her to keep up the work she has put into removing 60 pounds and keeping it off, The down-to-earth philosophy of the book is just what a person needs for a life-long mnagement of body weight. I agree with my sister wholeheartedly..

Great exercise plans you can tailor to your own time and fitness levels. Also no fuss food advice to help you achieve your goals. Great book!
