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

Must read for every woman!
I loved everything about this book, I only wish that it would have come out when I was a teenager!It’s a must read for women of all ages. Mindy is clear and concise in her writing and lays out all of the benefits of not only Intermittent Fasting, but extended water fasts with what’s happening in our bodies the longer we fast, the foods we should or shouldn’t be eating according to our monthly cycle in order to optimize our health and well-being and even recipes. Everything is tied into this book, even several protocols for weightloss, autoimmune, etc, and a 30 day example of how women should be fasting/eating according to their cycle, along with foods we need- and foods to avoid, to optimize and balance all of our hormones during the precise times in our cycle!And women that are post menopausal can use the 30 day fasting plan adjusted around the moon’s cycle. Brilliant! It all makes sense once you read it, and that’s why I say I wish I would have known all of this information 30 years ago. Better late than never!I’ve bought this for 5 people and one is a guy, so it’s not just for women! There’s so much for men to learn as well, not only learning about fasting for themselves to improve their health and loose weight, but about the women in their life. When men are better able to understand us in relation to our hormones, it’s a win-win for everyone.Get the book now, don’t wait…. we’ve had to wait long enough for a book of this magnitude. It’s about time someone recognized and acknowledged women can’t- and shouldn’t, be treated the same as men in relation to our health. This book is a life changer!Thank you Dr. Mindy! I’ve followed you for years–YEARS!!! But, this book literally put it all together and in one week has been life changing and I’m just getting started on this new journey! I’m so excited knowing I’m in control now and have the tools and knowledge that I’ve wanted and been searching for. I can’t praise you enough. Your heart shines in every live call, or video you put out to the universe. You are doing your purpose here on earth serving and helping so many women – and men. You deserve all the blessings coming your way! And I can’t wait for your next book! It can’t come soon enough! 😍🙌🏼🫶🏼

Informative & clearly represented
It’s a good book. That said, I wish I’d gotten the Audible version in retrospect. Why? I thought I’d missed out on some vital drawings for information (a misnomer on my part). I’m menopausal, not finished reading yet but very “pro-the contents”. This doctor seems to have a clear understanding of both women’s hormonal changes, our cycled & a clear understandable way of teaching this to others after years of studying. So with that, i recommend it.

I’m so happy with this book! I bought her book after watching one of her videos, read it in two weeks and now I’m on day 10 of the 30 day reset that is outlined in this book. Excellent information for any woman to apply to her daily life. This book is geared towards women who want to feel better, lose weight, and perhaps heal health issues and works on a keto-geared lifestyle with attention to our hormonal cycle. The information was so helpful to me, and as a nurse it was a great refresher in the science of how hormones work. I’ve already lost nearly 7 pounds in 10 days from applying the info of fasting, low sugar meals and exercise. I have been struggling for the last 15 years with constant weight gain despite working out at least 3 times a week with regular walking, running, and skiing and it just wasn’t working. I needed to change what I ate, and fast (pun totally intended). Fasting has provided me with a clear head, and a feeling of increased productivity. I am not looking back, only forwards and feel so energetic. Honestly, there were a couple of rough days but I stuck it through. You have to expect the body to cleanse itself during the first time of fasting and with that comes some symptoms. I have tried the ketogenic diet before, approximately 4 years ago and i lost 20 pounds in a couple of months but regained it back plus more because I didn’t know how and when to properly fast. It’s difficult to think about where I could be now, had I had this book THEN! Missed knowledge then, but now that I have it today I am happy and no more struggling. I will come back in a couple of months and update.

Love this book! I watch & follow Dr Mindy Pelz on various social platforms. This book is very popular so I had to get my own as I cannot always watch videos etc. Book is super informative on food, various fasts & their benefits along with recipes. Very knowledgeable and helpful.
