Amazon.com Review:
First the bad news. In the decades leading up to menopause, the average woman can expect to gain 29 pounds. The better news is found on the pages of Fit Not Fat at Forty Plus, an outstanding diet and fitness guide from the editors of Prevention magazine. Grounded in the latest research and packed with practical suggestions, the book recognizes the unique gravity-defying needs of women over 40. Early chapters offer a crash course on the 'midlife fitness crisis' of lowered estrogen and sluggish metabolism. 'To win the metabolic war, you must change the way you eat and exercise,' warn the authors. Other chapters offer hope and help for women with suddenly flabby arms, tight jeans, afternoon fatigue, and a bathroom scale that won’t budge. The key is developing a personal diet and fitness strategy to boast metabolic rate and counter hormonal shifts. One standout section explains why stress feeds fat cells and how to define whether you are feeling hungry or stressed. Readers who follow these metabolism-boosting workouts and sample eating plans can lose the over-the-hill birthday cards. --Barbara Mackoff

I liked the uncomplicated language and writing style that gave practical steps to improve right away. It provided advice, tips, and other information helpful to understanding changes that occur after 40. I also contained explainations of how my body works. I did not feel like I had to have a lot of background knowledge to start improving.

I can highly recommend this book to any woman who wants to shed a few pounds gained along the way (over 40 or not)! It's not that there is anything revolutionary about it, it just reminds you in a positive way about everything you ever learned about healthy eating and exercise...plus a few extra gems that you didn't know about. Which is not to give it justice. I love how the book is very practical and helps you make your own plan that you can live with. I use the weekly planning sheets and daily tracking sheets religiously. My husband has laughed at my ridiculous calorie-counting, but, you know, it works and so I'm sticking with it!! 10 pounds down, 7 to go!
The book is very well thought-out and offers something for everybody. It's just what I was looking for.

There was nothing earth shattering in this book. It is all the same old common sense. Maybe it will motivate you.

I have enjoyed reading the information in this book. The insight on GI eating, importance of exercise, value of supplements is amazing. I have changed my diet choices to lower GI and you would not believe how long I am able to go in between meals. Why? because I'm not harassed by bouts of hypoglycemia. It's great. I haven't lost any weight as of yet but I imagine that's inevitable!
