Informative

I found this book to be very informative. It helped me understand what happens to the female body as we age from preteen to elderly and how to deal with it. I recommend reading this book! However, I think the whole book would be better as a magazine article because chapter after chapter was repeative. Read the book, but save your money and check it out at the library.

throw away all other menopause books

I have read several on menopause and this book is the last. It really relaxes me on all the stresses that menopause can bring. I feel happy again knowing it is what is supposed to happen and I can make it better and easier by accepting my body and still contolling my weight. Now I can eat what ever I want( in moderation of course) and still feel and look good. No, I will never look 20 again but with this book's advice, I feel great about that. I plan on reading all the others Debra has written.

Great book!

It gave me more understanding of what is going on with my fat cells.
I highly recommend it for women 35 years old (as I am right now) or even younder. It would be too late to read this book when I am 50-55.

Menopausal weight gain is "the most stubborn weight gain you'll ever experience," says Debra Waterhouse in Outsmarting the Midlife Fat Cell. This book follows her bestselling Outsmarting the Female Fat Cell, customizing the program for women ages 35 to 55. The book is easy to read, makes difficult concepts simple to understand, and has helpful checklists to keep you on track. Outsmarting the Midlife Fat Cell explains the role of fat cells before and during menopause and why midlife weight gain is such a pervasive problem. A woman's 30 billion fat cells get bigger and "more stubborn" during midlife, explains Waterhouse, because when they detect a lowered estrogen level, they step in to produce more estrogen and get larger as they get more active. Dieting doesn't work; instead of slimming your body, it thins your hair, muscles, skin, bones--and thinking. To combat these effects, Waterhouse explains how to work with your new menopausal physiology to minimize weight gain. You learn strategies of attitude, exercise, eating habits (including dealing with cravings), food choices, and stress management. For example, exercise at midlife fights fatigue, reduces mental sluggishness, improves sleep, stabilizes moods, reduces the severity of hot flashes, strengthens bones, and reduces the risk of breast cancer and heart disease. --Joan Price
