"This was good because it was geared towards women. It was ok because you had to be in the gym 6 days a week until you reach your goal weight. It's just another low fat diet, eat every 3 hrs. It works only if you follow it to a T. She recommends eating lots of protein but says she'd prefer everyone follow a vegetarian diet like herself but if you can't then it's ok to eat meat." — Emi (4 out of 5 stars)

" Dr. Peeke made me think about health differently, which is the best thing she could have done for me. Love her research, love her passion, and love her methodology. I'm SO there! One week down, eleven to go! :) "
" I worked out with body for life the original a few years back... this is just for women and if you're looking for a great how to, this is it! "
" This is great for women of any ages. "
" I've read this twice. I've read it through different stages in my life. It is a little off from the original Body for LIFE. I think I prefer the original and the Champions versions of BFL, however, there is a lot of helpful information in here about the changes women go through during their lives which is great for women who don't have other female family members to discuss these issues with. "
" The ssecond best fitness and nutrition book for women, it covers a healthy eating plan you only have to follow 80 percent of the time; a fitness routine; and the changes to a woman's body at various milestones in her life. A good book to buy when you're young too. "
" HOPE is what i'm learning from Body-For-Life For Women. "
" Good book for women wanting to be fit, especially if your over 40 in my opinion, great science to back up the philosophy. Easy to follow pictures and explanations of workouts, comes with progress charts. Highly recommend. "
" This book is okay, however it seems to misrepresent itself as it's almost a full departure from the actual Body-for-LIFE plan. I'd recommend Body-for-LIFE, Champions Body-for-LIFE, or Strength for Life over this book. "
" This book is really helpful. Some of it is cheesy, but there are some really great strategies and I don't feel like the author is full of shit. "
" I was in the hunt for a good weight loss plan. This one didn't really help me much. "
" This is the best book I've read about nutrition for women, with easy to follow steps on how to loose weight and stregthen yourself! A book i've reccomended to anyone wanting to know the correct and easy way to get in shape the 90 days challenge is gReat!!! "
" Would be great if I actually followed it... "
" I liked how this book focused on women's different stages of life and how their nutritional needs can differ. Good book. "
" I really liked this book, and I am not into self help/ diet books at all. I found this program worked for me - I lost 12 pounds with it! "
" I am working on this plan now. I end on Oct. 31. I hope that I can stick with it. Was an inspirational book for eating well and taking care of myself. "
" Great book - esp. for those of us dealing with changes on our bodies - unwelcome changes! Now if I could just progress from the reading to the DOING stage... "
" I wasn't so interested in the bulk of the book since I get information on eating elsewhere, but Appendix A which shows specific weight bearing exercises and clear examples was excellent. "
" This is not as good as Bill Philips book but only because i have read his so many times & loved his 12 week program. "
" I love this book! The inspirational stories were very motivating. I did not actually follow this plan, but I can see where it would be a great one to be under. It made complete sense. The before and after pics are quite motivational also. "
" My obstetrician told me I should read this book. I was asking her about how to generally maintain health and fitness as I age. She said if there is one book I could buy on these topics, this is it.. It is sensible, not overwhelming, practical and well-researched. It applies to women of all ages. "
" I prefer the original BFL book. "
" This book is in the corporate gym for everyone to use so I read a couple of pages at a time. It is very interesting even though I am really not reading every word, every line. Some of the information I already knew and some doesn't apply to me. "
" I've always liked the Body For Life program. This had some good information since it was specifically geared to women. The reading was a little dry and it took me a while to get through it even though I was interested in the topic - hence the 3 stars. "
" Helped me lose 25 pounds! "
" All makes perfect sense..now putting it into action is another story.. "
