About this title

About the Author:

Theresa Cheung is a full-time writer specializing in nutrition and women's health and lifestyle issues. She regularly contributes to women's magazines and has written numerous books on health and wellness. Adam Balen, MD, is an obstetrician and gynecologist. The author of five books, Adam has also written numerous articles on a variety of subjects related to reproductive medicine for magazines and medical journals.

From Publishers Weekly:

Losing weight gets more difficult as women get older, and those in menopause have the added problem of dealing with the physical and emotional stress of huge hormonal changes. Cheung and Balen (a health/nutrition writer and gynecologist, respectively) speak specifically to women who would like to address the symptoms of menopause without going the hormone replacement therapy route. The word diet in the title is misleading, as the book is less about losing weight than about overall wellness. Nutrition is only a part of the program, which also advocates proper exercise, stress release, detoxification, etc. Most of the advice is standard: drink lots of water, eat more fish, go organic and so on. It's sensible but hardly original; readers can find the same advice in any current health-and-diet book. However, the authors have tweaked the information to speak to women of a certain age, and their holistic approach to dealing with menopause (and pre- and post-) may hit their target. (Nov.)
