Fast Like a Girl

A Woman’s Guide to Using the Healing Power of Fasting to Burn Fat, Boost Energy, and Balance Hormones

By: Dr. Mindy Pelz

Narrated by: Dr. Mindy Pelz

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."

Want to read all her books

This book opened my eyes to so many things I have been doing wrong. Diets, exercise, stress, a hamster on a wheel nothing has worked. This book has given me hope! As a peri menopausal woman I thought it was hopeless. Light at the end of the tunnel.

So Informative!!

This is such a great book in that it helps teach you how to take responsibility for your own health and for the choices you make with regard to what you eat. I have struggled with health issues related to Chronic Lyme Disease, RA and Epstein Barr for 19 years. While I have been able to make progress with my health over the years with alternative medicine, I just have not been able to get back to a place where I don’t have unexpected flares. By using the fasting protocols, specifically the 17 hour fasts, the changes from the autophagy phase has finally helped me clear the residual garbage out of my cells. My gut has healed after all of the years of antibiotics prescribed by western medicine and I feel so much more in control. Now I am considering the 3 day water fast!

Changed my life

Amazing and eye opening book. Will read it again and again and pass it to every woman in my life. First stop my daughters. Thank you Dr Mindy for turning your passion and knowledge into a benefit to us all.

Great Information

Love it

Helping my daughter

This is exactly what she needs! Continuous bleeding, weight gain, high glucose and triglycerides caused us to go to doctor who agrees diet needs to be addressed.

Looking high and low for a solution

I have been fasting but not losing weight. After listening to this book I will need to buy the book and follow it. Looking forward to a change.

Adding value

So grateful for all the great content in this book. Health oriented research and goals! I have lost 22 pounds and feel more confident with my health choices.

I now WILL fast like a girl!!

Felt very special that there is a book customized just for women. After working through a lifetime eating disorder, this has been a game changer. So inspiring, educational, entertaining - I have told many about this book and wish I had it available to me when I was still “cycling.” I felt hopeful after reading this and implementing the dynamics was simple.
