Fast Like a Girl

Outline

Fast Like a Girl (2022) adapts intermittent fasting to the natural hormonal rhythms of women. Mindy Pelz explains how different fasting lengths affect metabolism, energy, and hormones, and shows how women can plan their fasting and meals around their monthly cycle or the changes of menopause. The book includes practical fasting schedules and food guidance designed to support long-term health.

• Standard intermittent fasting advice was not built around women's hormonal rhythms, so Mindy Pelz adapts the practice to them.
• Different fasting lengths affect metabolism, energy, and hormones in different ways, so the length you choose matters.
• A woman can plan both her fasting and her meals around her monthly cycle.
• The changes of menopause call for their own approach to fasting and eating.
• The book offers practical fasting schedules and food guidance aimed at long-term health and a routine you can sustain.
