Questions & Answers

|
Q: What are the primary differences between Body-for-LIFE for Women
and the original Body-for-LIFE book?
A: Body-for-LIFE for Women is based on many of the tried-and-true
principles from the original book, but also takes into account that
women are mentally and physically hard-wired differently than men.
Based upon new women’s health information, Dr. Peeke has provided a
customized program to address women’s unique needs.
Q: Why does Body-for-LIFE for Women say that scale weight is no
longer the essential indicator of health and wellness in a woman? |
A: Dr. Peeke shows that the best predictor of a woman’s health and
fitness is her body composition. It’s not about the quantity but the
quality of her body that defines a woman’s wellness. The goals are
to minimize body fat and optimize muscle. By doing so, a woman
decreases her risk of breast cancer, diabetes and heart disease. And
she looks fit and firm while feeling energized.
Q: Did all the women in the book follow the original Body-for-LIFE
program or the Body-for-LIFE for Women program?
A: The women portrayed in the pictures throughout Body-for-LIFE for
Women achieved their 12-week transformation through the original
Body-for-LIFE Program, and their stories inspire all women to push
themselves as best they can. The book also features stories of Dr.
Peeke’s patients who have achieved their transformations using more
intense guidance over longer periods of time while following the
Body-for-LIFE for Women customized approach. Whether it’s 12 weeks
or 12 months, each woman achieved her transformation—for life.
Q: There seem to be some differences in “authorized” foods between
this book and the original Body-for-LIFE. Which one is correct?
A: Body-for-LIFE for Women presents foods that are specific to the
unique nutritional needs of women. Dr. Peeke has updated the
original “authorized” foods list in Body-for-LIFE to include new
information about foods that can help boost women’s immune
functions, help them navigate hormonally induced cravings, conquer
stress overeating and augment their reproductive functions. This
incorporates new science as it relates to women’s wellness.
