Provides a realistic weight management program and recognizes you don't have to be perfect at it. Stick with the program 80% or more of the time and you'll make progress toward your goals.
I've read this twice. I've read it through different stages in my life. It is a little off from the original Body for LIFE. I think I prefer the original and the Champions versions of BFL, however, there is a lot of helpful information in here about the changes women go through during their lives which is great for women who don't have other female family members to discuss these issues with.
The ssecond best fitness and nutrition book for women, it covers a healthy eating plan you only have to follow 80 percent of the time; a fitness routine; and the changes to a woman's body at various milestones in her life. A good book to buy when you're young too.
The thing that I loved so much about the original Body for Life by Bill Phillips, was his strong motivational voice. The program worked just fine on a female body (my body) except that it was too heavy on calories.This new women's version? It's lame. Apparently women need less science and diagrams.
For Middleton Ladies Twelve Week Challenge. Starting the Challenge tomorrow, but with Sundays being my rest days. I like the internal motivation that she has you work on, and the idea of keeping your jounral. The Vitamin I, is what I know that I will need help on. Push the intensity.
A great book to inspire healthy life choices. I wanted to read it for the explanation on how to do a daily food journal, but I got so much more out of it.
Finally, A book that addresses women's needs with "weight removal".
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.
This is the Dr. doing the Fit For Life tv show Steve is on. He is reading Fit for Life, and I am reading this one. Let's see if it helps!
So I finished reading and now I am actually doing. Gotta say, Dr. Peeke knows what she's talking about! You have to be in the right mindset to get your life back in order, body and soul. I am learning so much and it's really helping me. Just hope I can stick with it!
