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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

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.

I find this book super informative, but I am disappointed with no pdf for visuals, as Dr. mentions in her book.

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.

Didn't come with pdf as promised

Unless I can't find it - but it says it will be in your library - this version doesn't come with the additional content.

Absolutely Brilliant

This book contains some of the most important information that women need to know for optimising their health. For enhancing their nutrition, fitness, quality of life in general.

The majority of fasting research out there has been done entirely on men (big surprise).

Women cannot fast like men. Plain and simple. Men have it quite easy, but women need to learn how to pay much more attention to their body when it comes to fasting. Dr. Pelz lays out easy to understand information for fasting around your monthly cycle. This book does not read like a research paper, which is quite nice. The author speaks like a human being.

This is also incredibly useful information for any personal trainer, coach, or therapist to know if they work with female athletes (which is the case for me.)

10/10

Difficult listen

Felt very 'read out' which I know it is but felt like someone literally reading a monotone book to me. Some of the information was intriguing and I will research further into
