Author Biography
Stephanie Atwood has been writing and cooking since she was a small child. As an adult she became interested in athletics and nutrition and recently, has focused on the need for healthy, good food, for healthy, happy women by adding the nutritional component to the run and walk club that she leads Go WOW Team. Atwood is the Bay Area Women's Fitness Writer for examiner.com. Her articles span the breadth and depth of the Bay Area and the fascinating and diverse women in the area. As a college educated sports nutrition consultant, health coach, and avid runner Atwood has been exploring the relationship between food and exercise and how it affects herself and the women in her club, Go WOW Team. The culmination, or possibly continuation, of that interest led to this book, the first in a series of books, Get Fit - Especially for Women. Atwood tested the fat burning, metabolic process, that utilizes exercise and food on herself before offering it to a test group of women. She lowered her own body fat by approximately 3%, from 18% to about 15%. This was tested through a lab. The women were all willing to exercise on a regular basis but they were told NOT to exercise too hard and most of them did not consider themselves athletes. Their body types were diverse as were their ages and ethnicity. She then ran a test group for 6 weeks with 11 women. The results were positive, informative, and educational enough that the next step seemed to be a book. This is the first in the series and will be followed shortly by the sequel. Stay tuned.
