WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER! PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY BESTSELLER! INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER! Includes a 30-Day fasting reset that uses the power of your cycle—even if you no longer have one! A go-to fasting manual created specifically to address women's needs based on their hormones and menstrual cycle by Dr. Mindy Pelz, a well-known expert on women and fasting, whose fast-growing YouTube channel has become the destination for women who want to learn about fasting. Are you among the many women who feel unheard and unseen by their doctors and health professionals? Have you become exhausted by the promise of quick-fix diets that only leave you disappointed? Well in Fast Like a Girl, Dr. Mindy helps you to take back control of your health by using the quickest path back to better health—fasting. While most fasting advice has been a one-size-fits-all approach that leaves women with more questions than answers, in this book Dr. Mindy shares the proven strategies, specific protocols to use if you are trying to overcome a condition, fasting hacks, and tools that she has used to help hundreds of thousands of women thrive with their fasting lifestyles. Dr. Mindy will teach you: the rights steps on how to go from eating all day to intermittent fasting (13-15 hours) how to safely fast longer if you choose to do so (15-72 hours) how to time fasting according to your menstrual cycle (although if you don’t have a cycle, she has you covered) the best foods to break your fast to achieve better metabolic health This book also includes more than 50 recipes based on the two food plans—ketobiotic and hormone feasting—she created to best support women’s hormones. And, it has recipes specifically created to break a fast such as her Coconut Cacao Chia Pudding. Inspired by the thousands of women she has worked with who have reclaimed their health with fasting, Dr. Mindy wrote this book because, “once a woman knows how to build a fasting lifestyle around her cycle, she becomes unstoppable.” Review: FINALLY! A book with info I didn't already know and it's working for me! - So many menopause and perimenopause books have the same info: eat leafy greens, adequate amounts of protein, reduce simple carbohydrates, strength train, sleep, rest, hydrate, eat enough, manage stress. This book is different! The principles of metabolic switching and fasting based on your hormonal cycle have been so helpful and easy to implement for me. Dr Mindy explains exactly how and when to incorporate keto and fasting and when to avoid it. I was already aware of cycle syncing, but not in the context of how it applies to keto and intermittent fasting. She fully explains the science behind why these two methods work at some points in your monthly hormonal cycle and not others. She also gives you lists of foods that support the various hormones throughout your cycle so you can easily choose the right foods that support your hormones. The only thing that could've improved this book was if she had added a chapter on cycle syncing workouts as well (perhaps consulting with a personal trainer experienced in helping women in perimenopause and menopause). I stumbled upon this book when searching for ways to lose weight during this stage of life beyond the typical recommendations that I was already using and getting nowhere. At first I dismissed the idea because I've heard so many negative things about keto (all related to dirty keto not clean keto), and intermittent fasting hadn't been working for me (but I was doing it wrong!). If you're already following the typical fitness and nutrition advice for women in perimenopause and menopause but not seeing results, try this! It's healthy, sustainable, and has worked for tons of regular women, myself included. She also has a Facebook group for support. Backstory: I'm 48, have been eating a healthy balanced diet filled with quality protein, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, and limited amounts of sugar since my mom was diagnosed with diabetes 20 years ago. I've also been strength training consistently 3-5 x week for the last decade. I have no uterus, but I have my ovaries, so I still have a hormonal cycle. I gained sweight during an international move last year, and had been struggling for 10 months to lose it using the methods I listed above (plus eating at a moderate 500 cal/day deficit) with ZERO change in weight or body composition. Since I work from home I've been able to hide out while trying to fix this weight problem. Depression, anxiety and feeling completely hopeless about my changing body have been debilitating. I was desperate and about to get on GLP1 to lose weight, but I'm fearful of side effects. Some people recommend HRT, but I don't want to do that either because my body doesn't do well with exogenous hormones. For me, keto and intermittent fasting was worth a try to avoid pharmaceutical interventions. I started using some of the methods in this book 6 weeks ago, and in that time I've lost 9 lbs & 1% body fat (according to my Hume scale). I am following the fasting cycling recommendations and choosing foods that support the hormones being produced during the different phases of my cycle. However, I'm not switching between keto and higher carbohydrates yet. Because I'm very likely experiencing insulin resistance (why else wasn't I losing weight?), I'm staying on clean Keto for at least 90 days since it can take that long to clear on a keto diet. At the 90 day mark, I plan on slowly adding back in small amounts of complex carbohydrates during the hormone feasting phases. Because I'm seeing results and getting through my workouts without issue, I have hope again. That alone is worth the time reading and implementing these changes. Review: A Must-Read for Women Looking to Master Intermittent Fasting - I love Fast Like a Girl! I have been practising fasting for years and this book has been a game-changer for me in refining my intermittent fasting (IF) practice. It provided me with invaluable insights on how to adjust fasting according to my body’s needs and hormonal cycles—something I hadn’t understood before. Pros: Tailored to Women’s Needs: The book explains how fasting affects women differently due to our hormonal cycles. I finally understood why I struggled with fasting at certain times of the month and how to modify my approach accordingly. Practical and Science-Based Advice: The author breaks down complex concepts into easy-to-understand, science-based explanations. It’s not just theory—there are actionable tips that helped me refine my fasting schedule, making it more sustainable and effective. Cycle-Specific Fasting Tips: One of the most helpful sections is the guidance on how to adjust fasting practices depending on where you are in your menstrual cycle. It’s an eye-opener for any woman who’s struggled with inconsistent energy levels or results during fasting. Empowering and Supportive Tone: The tone of the book is empowering and supportive, which is refreshing in the wellness space. It feels like getting advice from a knowledgeable friend who truly understands the unique needs of women. Staple Recommendation: I now recommend this book to all the women in my life, whether they’re beginners to fasting or seasoned practitioners. It’s a must-have resource for anyone looking to optimize their health through fasting. Cons: Not Ideal for Non-Fasting Readers: The book is primarily focused on intermittent fasting, so it may not be as useful for readers who aren't interested in or open to fasting practices. However, for those looking to understand fasting better, it's a fantastic guide. Fast Like a Girl is now about the staple recommendations I make to any woman looking to take control of her health and fasting practices. It helped me refine my approach to intermittent fasting and provided crucial insights into how to make fasting work with my body, not against it. Highly recommend for women seeking to burn fat, boost energy, and tailor fasting to their unique needs! ## Features - Color: Teal/Turquoise green - Fast Like a Girl: A Woman's Guide to Using the Healing Power of Fasting to Burn Fat, Boost Energy, and Balance Hormones ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #546 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Endocrine System Diseases #2 in Healing #4 in General Women's Health | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 8,369 Reviews | ## Images ![Fast Like a Girl: A Woman's Guide to Using the Healing Power of Fasting to Burn Fat, Boost Energy, and Balance Hormones - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61czCs8Z6iL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FINALLY!
