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.”
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Holistic-health practitioner Mindy Pelz wants to help women seize the power to better understand their health and take control of it through intermittent fasting. Because every woman’s hormones and menstrual cycles are unique, Pelz stresses there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to dieting—every body will react differently. With approachable warmth and a no-nonsense attitude, Pelz presents scientific and technical information in an easy-to-understand and compelling way. Her writing seeks to empower everyone—although the book is written for women, much of the information will also be useful to men exploring the potential benefits of intermittent fasting. We were intrigued by her argument for fuelling our bodies in different ways throughout the month and by the specific benefits of different lengths of fasts. Anyone who wants to learn about how to fast safely or about the nuances of what intermittent fasting can do will find this practical manual to be food for thought.
