Eat to Defeat Menopause: The Essential Nutrition Guide for a Healthy Midlife -- with More Than 130 Recipes Paperback – July 12, 2011

I was astonished when I gained 15 lbs over 3 years post menopause after having maintained the same weight for over 20 years with little or no effort. This book explains why its harder to lose the weight and how to adopt a new way of eating. The best part is that it has easy to make recipes with contents you can buy at the grocery store. Not labor intensive either. Now if it could only do my exercises FOR me!

The info on menopause and overall general health is good, but not a "startling discovery." The recipes look really good, but I didn't find them mindful of healthy eating, in general, utilizing ingredients I would never eat like white table sugar and whit rice, for example. There are some that are very healthy, though. At the end of the day, eat more fruits & veges was my takeaway, less the $10 I paid to get that advice and a few recipes.

Dr. Seibel and Karen Giblin have assembled a terrific book of recipes that will be enjoyed by midlife women and those that care about them. The recipes are delicious and nutritious. Healthy eating contributes to feeling energetic during menopause and midlife. Women who prepare these recipes will meet their unique nutritional needs and find their families and friends enjoy the dishes as well. I recommend this book to patients as well as friends and colleagues.

Highly recommend. The recipes are delicious and the book is easy to read. I started feeling better after eating the recommended foods for about a week.

Not bad but not a big soy fan so difficult to adjust

Some good recipes.

Love it
