Summary
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. Also includes a 30-day fasting reset that uses the power of your cycle-even if you no longer have one!
"I have never met someone that has more respect for the body and its innate intelligence to heal than Mindy. Her reverence for the body is met with an intense passion for helping people learn how to tap into it through the timing of fasting, eating, and detoxing. This way of living is the way of the future for all women if they want to truly thrive."-Danica Patrick, entrepreneur and former race car driver
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 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 right 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."
This audio product contains a PDF with supporting material, and the PDF is available to download.

A world of knowledge
I loved this book and I will definitely be using it as my go to book whilst on my fasting journey. The fact it came with with a pdf to refer to is really beneficial also. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs a complete guide to intermittent fasting for a variety of health reasons especially beginners.

A complete guide of how to fast like a girl
I love this book and keep coming back to it every month. Im a pro faster but i never considered the impact on the hormones and menstrual cycle. After 5/6 years of 20/4 fasting my period was not the same and i was even thinking if i could be perimenopausal. Im 37.
After implementing it (no fast week was a nightmare) I saw immediate improvement in my period flow after the first month. Fasting is for life and i feel better than ever.
If you’re interested in weight loss, which i was when i started fasting years ago, fasting was
the only thing that worked for me and it felt easy. I lost more than 15kg since started, but i did it slowly. No more than 2/3kg each time cause i wanted to ensure every time i lost weight i would set a new baseline. Im 57kg now, look very lean and fit and i don’t workout. I only walk and i do it everyday. I have loads of energy, never feel tired or hungry. Sleep well and i feel and loom better than in my 20s. I recommend it to everyone.

Best Fasting Book So Far
I've lost count of how many books I've bought on this topic and been so disappointed. This is the first book that that explains the what, why and when of fasting. To put the cherry on top it is done in simple terms that I think anyone can understand and work out what they need to do for their own individual needs. Very well narrated. 5 star review. Will be seeking more from this author.

Bl**dy brilliant! Thank you!
You will not regret buying this book.
Over the years I’ve looked in the fasting, bulletproof diet and keto diets etc.. combined with my strength training, but I have always felt that there’s something missing and have always felt a disassociation with fad diets as they’re so generic.
I’m so excited to start my fasting lifestyle, originally I thought it would be a great way to lose a few pounds, but now I realise that weight loss will be the by-product of a new, healthy, hopefully more bomb-proof me, both mentally and physically.
It’s not only validating as Dr Mindy explains exactly why we feel certain ways throughout our cycle, but she also explains exactly how to follow the fasting lifestyle to use what is to be believed as the female curse and turn it into our super power.
There’s a lot of information but it’s explained in a way that is really easy to understand, with literally step by step guides as to how to follow it.
Amazing book.. I’ve just listened to the audio book and can’t wait for my hard copy to arrive so I can start the fasting lifestyle properly.
Dr Mindy I want to thank you for your commitment to the study of so many aspects of health and for your generosity in sharing it with the world. I see how you personally reply to so many comments on social media which must be exhausting, but you are a woman on a mission. I hope to be a similar inspiration for my own community one day, for now I just need to get my head down and work hard.
Thank you.
