Product Description
From Library Journal
Menopause is often associated with some level of physical and emotional discomfort. Fortunately, diet can play an important role in relieving some of these negative side effects. After a brief review of menopause, Moquette-Magee, a dietitian and author of Fight Fat and Win Cookbook (Chronimed, 1994), outlines "ten diet commandments" aimed at preventing discomfort and disease. Although some of the jargon may be technical, it is always followed by a simple review and practical guidelines. Moquette-Magee's philosophy is one of moderation, not abstinence, and the goals she sets are attainable. This is not a recipe book (the few recipes included are insignificant) but an important precursor?a nutritional sourcebook that may help ease the transitional phase of menopause. As one of the few books devoted to this topic, it is highly recommended for general collections.?Lisa A. Errico-Cox, Nassau Community Coll., Garden City, N.Y.

Book Description
A natural, simple-to-follow program to help women feel great--introducing the "nutritional Ten Commandments" for menopause and beyond. For every woman who is experiencing or approaching menopause, here is a sound, healthful nutrition program that can safely reduce the many subtle and not-so-subtle side-effects of changing hormone levels. In the engaging, down-to-earth style of her bestselling book Fight Fat & Win, Elaine Moquette-Magee shows how the right diet can minimize menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, insomnia, headaches, and mood changes, while increasing energy, slowing the aging process, and helping to ward off heart disease, cancer, and osteoporosis. By following this program and its Ten Commandments, women can not only have a healthier menopause, but a healthier later life as well. Ways to "up your estrogen" naturally, without hormone replacement therapy.
*Delicious recipes that are high in all the needed nutrients but low in fat. *Up-to-the-minute information on nutritional breakthroughs such as antioxidants and phytochemicals. *Ways that the right diet can minimize the health risks if a woman does choose to take estrogen.
ELAINE MOQUETTE-MAGEE (Pleasant Hill, California) is a registered dietician and nutrician consultant. She is the author of several books on healthy eating, including Fight Fat & Win.

This review is from: Eat Well for a Healthy Menopause: The Low-Fat, High Nutrition Guide (Paperback)
This is a great book, and one that every woman over 40 should have. It is very easy to read and isn't written with a lot of complicated terms. I think what I liked best was the book's common sense approach and giving the reader the information needed to make the important decision - pills or no pills. Although I'm not quite there yet, I know when I sit down with my Doctor, I'll be able to make an informed decision, one that will be right for me. This is a book that I will refer to often.
