Body for Life rocks. I still use most of what this book taught me without being 100 percent serious about it and I stay in pretty good shape and if I want to get in great shape fast, I know exactly how to do it and I don't even have to go on a diet! I even get to eat more than normal. Yes!

Everyone should read this tonight and make it their New Years resolution:)

I really liked this book, and I am not into self help/ diet books at all. I found this program worked for me - I lost 12 pounds with it!

I liked how this book focused on women's different stages of life and how their nutritional needs can differ. Good book.

Great manual

This book has lots of great directions for improving your body. Read it through, then review and keep it close for reminders

Every so often, I read a "healthy" book as motivation to fuel my fitness journey. There were many things I liked about this book:
1. It was written for women, by a woman
2. The information was practical
3. It deals not only with your body (exercise) and nutrition (food) but also your mind (mental).
4.The fitness regime is doable, she encourages weights and cardio, which I like.
5.The nutrition plan also seemed reasonable although I didn't necessarily pour over the recipes.
6.There were some handy lists about food choices and such that would be good resources.
7. The one thing I really liked is that the entire plan recommends working out and making mindful food choices six days a week but one day a week is a free day! Love that idea.
I would recommend this book to women who are interested in learning more about the importance of how exercise, nutrition, and your mind work together to help you lead a healthy lifestyle. Having checked this book out from the library, I think I will actually purchase it and use it as a resource. Another reader suggested reading the original Body for Life by Bill Phillips, so I think I will do that too.

I love this book! The inspirational stories were very motivating. I did not actually follow this plan, but I can see where it would be a great one to be under. It made complete sense. The before and after pics are quite motivational also.

This book is in the corporate gym for everyone to use so I read a couple of pages at a time. It is very interesting even though I am really not reading every word, every line. Some of the information I already knew and some doesn't apply to me.

Definitely a good motivator to get your body in shape and eating well. The biggest problem I found was that on a small budget (which is me) I can't afford a lot of the healthier food that she was suggesting. But I did enjoy the motivation and I have been trying to work out better to stay in shape more that way.
