Summary: Who is Nancy Lloyd?
Review: I bought this book a week ago and have been working with this program for about 5 days. I still haven't done everything perfectly, and I've lost 3/4 of an inch around my waist! I figure out the content of the foods that I cook by using Corinne T. Netzer's The Complete Book of Food Counts, but I figured all the daily gram and calories requirements using this book. After a few weeks, I know that I won't need to look as much up because I'll just know the information, but knowing the difference in my body now, and my body when it was 25, makes a big difference in how I look at food and decide on my choices. YOU SIMPLY CANNOT EAT THE SAME WAY YOU DID WHEN YOU WERE 20, 25, 30 or even 35! YOUR METABOLISM HAS CHANGLED DRASTICALLY. Do yourself a favor and figure out WHY it changed and what to do about it and BUY THIS BOOK.

Summary: Toxic is right
Review: I gained new understanding of how destructive stress can be on my health. Dr. Peeke's explanation of how the body processes food differently after 'midlife' precisely diagnoses what I've seen happen to my own body. She also reminded me of my sweet grandmother, who ate an apple every night before bedtime. She lived a long and healthy life. I'm vowing for that apple now instead of that last glass of wine. This book is truly a gift to share with others. Just like my new beverage of choice that replaced my morning brew. Its called s oyfee and taste so wonderful with no caffeine or acids. Organic and made from soya! Bye bye acid stomach and hello healthy tummy! Google it under "acid free coffee"

Summary: My first introduction to this subject
Review: I would bet there are tons of women like me who have gained weight eating the way I did, not much food during the day and compulsive cravings at night. Duh, why didn't I figure this out. I'm smart. Heck, I've purchased and read every diet book out there. Dr. Peeke's book and approach to eating works and it works effortlessly without crazy diets. I've lost over 20 lbs in 2 months without dieting. I merely changed my eating schedule to get most of my calories in before 5pm, no starches after 5pm and no food after 8pm. I even cheat at night a bit by having a piece of fruit or an ice cream bar occasionally. The big surprise - I'm not hungry at night - no cravings. Why? Because I'm eating properly and often during the day, starting with breakfast. Like most people, I'm not always hungry in the morning, but I make it a point to eat a good balance of protein, fat and carbs every 3 hrs from breakfast on until 5pm and I feel wonderful, no hunger, no wild cravings. Normal eating, normal living, no dieting, no binges. This is so easy, so liveable and the weight is dropping steadily. Buy this book, follow the advice and you will lose weight while eating well. Such a simple change, but what a difference. I can't imagine not eating like this now. It's so nice to feel satisfied and not experience the compulsive night cravings any longer. This is a lifestyle strategy I can live with forever; only wish I had bought her book sooner.

Summary: Dr. Peeke's book really works
Review: I've been a patient of Dr. Peeke for over four years and one of the people urging her to write a book to share her program with others. The book is true to the pricipals she practices. And she's made a believer out of me. The ideas in the book have helped me handle stress better, stay with exercise (when I never could before), and learn to do a better job with my eating. Fight Fat after Forty is really about getting your life together and finding a strategy you can live with to be healthier and fit. I highly recommend it to all women forty and over--in fact I've given copies to several friends as gifts.

Summary: Who is Nancy Lloyd?
Review: Reading through these reviews has left me with one question: "Who is Nancy Lloyd and what is her connection to this author?" Does it strike anyone else as just a tad bit too much of a coincidence that every fifth reviewer just happen to have her life changed by reading these two books?
Use these "reviews" with caution folks. Often they are just paid sells pitches and Amazon plays along because...hey, it moves books right?

Summary: Don't Let the Title Fool You
Review: This book is not about quick-fixes or miraculously changing your life. It is about facing the reality that your body is changing as you age, and that you must, for your health's sake, eat well and get moving if you want to stay around for awhile. It deals with managing the ups and downs of weight control, the good days and the days when you get off track. It offers reasonable strategies for getting back on track. I found it encouraging and helpful.

Summary: A Man's Perspective on Fight Fat After Forty
Review: While the book may be aimed at women and uses case histories from a number of Dr. Peeke's women patients, the larger lesson is about fat and stress and that is not just a woman's issue. I'm a marathoner, running seven races in the last 15 years. I slowed down my training and stopped competing in races when work and travel took up more and more time. That drop in exercise, along with natural aging and a slowing metabolism made me a prime candidate for the "toxic weight" that Dr. Peeke talks about. I know I'm at higher risk for heart disease and diabetes and her book has been a wake up call for me to get back into exercise and put into effect the good lessons she writes about. I'm paying attention to my "carb clock" and watching what I eat after 5 pm. I'm finding ways to fit exercise back into my life and that includes trips to a gym for planned strength workouts with a trainer, a direct result of her lesson on "make time for yourself." I recommend that men don't let the case studies about women get in the way of the good information in this book.
