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.”

Ratings and reviews

This is life changing. Where did anyone get the idea that we HAVE to eat 3 times a day?? Our hunter gatherer ancestors would go days between food. They had to hunt it, process it, store it when they could. They were always in a state of fasting, naturally. That question was always on my mind. Reading this in the first pages of this book validated my thoughts on this. Today is Day 1 of my Day 30 fasting reset. I have already been prepping myself and seen major changes.

I have a question before I buy the book - I'm vegan and getting contraceptive injections, so I hadn't had my period for over a year now. Is this book something that could help me lose weight fasting or is it made only for people who eat everything? If it can, please click up vote, if it can't help me, please - down vote the comment and I'll understand. Thank you for your help

Muy interesante conocer el proceso regenerativo de nuestro cuerpo a través del ayuno intermitente. Estoy más consciente de los beneficios a largo que esta practica le ha traido a mi vida.
