Samenvatting:

Hormones. Weight gain. Women's fat-storing bodies vs. men's fat-burning metabolism. What's the difference? Why do women struggle with weight issues so much? This book is a well-researched look at the issues.



Why don't most popular diet plans work for post-menopausal women; and if they do, why do women have to work at it three times as hard and four times as long to lose half the weight a man does? Dr Elizabeth Lee Vliet answers the questions in a groundbreaking book that will be a godsend to every woman who has tried and failed to stop the dreaded 'inevitable' weight gain that comes with mid-life. In this book Dr Vliet explains how and why hormone imbalances are the major factor in the mid-life woman's inability to lose weight and how balanced hormonal production combined with exercise and a proper diet can lead to a breakthrough in mid-life fitness, health and well-being.
