Ready to discover how fasting can harmonize with your body’s rhythm to help you achieve your wellness goals? When you think about fasting, do you imagine a monk living on nothing but air and sunlight? Or perhaps you picture going days on end without a single bite of food? Let’s clear up some misconceptions right off the bat: fasting doesn’t have to be that extreme!
In Dr. Mindy Pelz’s enlightening book, Fast Like a Girl, you’ll find descriptions of fasts that last up to, and even beyond, 72 hours. But don’t worry, that’s not the norm. The main element cornerstone of the fasting lifestyle is intermittent fasting, which usually involves going 13 to 15 hours without food each day. Not so scary now, is it?
If you’re still feeling a bit hesitant, that’s okay! This handy guide is going to demystify the science behind fasting. It will also introduce you to a concept known as ‘metabolic switching,’ and explain how fasting can sync up with a woman’s hormonal cycle. We’ll cap it off with a 30-day reset plan to help you ease into fasting, complete with some savvy tips for breaking your fast in a way that aligns with your goals.

“Growth hormone performs three key functions. The first is that it helps you burn fat, especially around the midsection. The second fabulous process that growth hormone provides is muscle growth.” —Mindy Pelz
