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

Fast Like a Girl is a fasting guide created specifically for women's hormonal needs and menstrual cycles. Dr. Mindy Pelz addresses how most fasting advice uses a one-size-fits-all approach that doesn't account for women's unique biology. The book includes a 30-day fasting reset designed around your cycle, even if you no longer menstruate. It covers how to transition from eating throughout the day to intermittent fasting (13-15 hours), how to safely extend fasts (15-72 hours), how to time fasting with your menstrual cycle, and which foods work best for breaking a fast to support metabolic health. The guide provides proven strategies, specific protocols for addressing particular conditions, fasting techniques, and tools based on Dr. Pelz's work with hundreds of thousands of women. It includes over 50 recipes supporting two food plans—ketobiotic and hormone feasting—along with specific recipes for breaking fasts.
