Publisher's 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.

Great amount of detail into WHY and HOW
Great book but I feel it would have been easier to understand in the paperback as there are lots of references to appendices, diagrams, recipes etc. I was hoping there would have been a code available to be able to have access to these resources. Easy listen, lots of science and medical resources referred to. The Dr knows her stuff.

Everything makes sense
This should be compulsory listening/reading for everyone. I can’t help but wonder what would happen to the diet industry and the largest food manufacturers if more people were empowered with this knowledge. Game changer. Thank you for your relentless passion Dr Mindy xxx

Amazing, Life-Changing Information
I thought this book was excellent. Dr Mindy's voice is a little brassy for my taste but hey, she knows her stuff and her delivery of the information was great. It's all well organised and thorough and readily accessible. The one thing that really irritated me about this audio book was the occasional musical interlude in the background that seemed to appear at random - the same tune - it was just distracting and added nothing at all to the content.
Anyway, I highly, highly recommend this book for people who are seasoned fasters or considering embarking on a fasting lifestyle. It really is one of the simplest, cheapest and most effective ways to drop weight. As a 50-something menopausal woman who has seen the dreaded spare tire creep on over the past year or so, I can attest that this works, and it's honestly not that onerous once you get into it. Actually fasting can feel so darn good that once you're through the initial hunger pangs you might not want to stop.
I think this might be the answer to years of what basically amounts to abuse by the corporate food sector. Once you've re-adjusted your gut it's amazing how you crave 'good' food and can turn away from the crap. Also, Dr Pelz gives so much information about the effects of bad food that you'll think twice about reaching for that tub of ice cream or pack of potato chips.
Give it a go, you won't regret it! :-)

Very interesting but no PDF
I found the info fascinating and im keen to start fasting.
She's clearly very passionate, but I do wish she used a professional narrator to read it, her voice is a bit annoying.
As so often hapoens with Audible, there's no PDF attached. This is particularly annoying in the this case as it's needed to follow the details of the different fasts.
