Fasting guidance organized around women’s health

Mindy Pelz’s guide frames fasting around women’s hormonal health and menstrual cycles, with adaptations described for those who no longer have a cycle. It lays out a progression from intermittent fasting to longer fasts, discusses timing fasting across the cycle, and covers foods for breaking a fast. The book also includes a 30-day fasting reset, protocols the author presents for particular health concerns, and more than 50 recipes across two food plans: ketobiotic and hormone feasting. The emphasis is on practical schedules and food choices, with the author presenting fasting as a tool for supporting health. As with any health guidance, its recommendations are the book’s approach rather than individualized medical advice.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Women interested in learning about fasting in relation to hormonal health or menstrual cycles.
  • Readers seeking structured fasting schedules, a 30-day reset, and food-planning ideas.
  • Those looking for recipes designed for fasting-related food plans and breaking a fast.

Includes a 30-Day fasting reset that uses the power of your cycle--even if you no longer have one!

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.


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 the 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 rights 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."
