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

Product Information

I have never met someone that has more respect for the body and its innate intelligence to heal than Mindy. I would love something that goes along with the book and MY cycle that tells you foods to eat for certain times of the month or which exercise would good or not good. Not to mention 1/3 of the book is pointless recipes (why ruin a perfectly good avocado by scooping out the entrails, wrapping it in bacon and frying it? Plague journals, escapist literature, political history: explore our year in review, where we share rare book trends and a gallery of some of the most beautiful and interesting books sold in 2020.

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.So I fast like a girl is a book that men can benefit from, especially in that first section that talks about the science.

I am looking at how we create an ebb and flow of nutrients across a cycle and am loving how it resonates with my patients. And around, you know, that time we also were getting a lot of press coming from different health influencers, preaching that women shouldn’t fast at all. And so one day, I was not only wondering where my what was going on with my cycle, but I started to get a lot of anxiety.

I found this distracting as it was quite loud and seemed to me to start randomly in the middle of chapters, paragraphs and sentences. Randomly throughout chaired background music plays and it’s so distracting I have to rewind and listen a few times just to grasp the info. Des recettes des deux différents types d'alimentation sont proposées, seul bémol, il n'y a pas de photos des recettes.

So there’s a whole third section with application of the formula for wherever you’re hormonal, whatever your hormonal situation is. In Fast Like a Girl , Dr Mindy not only makes the science of fasting easy to understand but lays out a whole new health paradigm for women and men to improve their lives in a myriad of ways. Like I said she wrote the foreword, and is we have an incredible podcast we did together so it was such a joy to be on that journey with her.I’m fascinated with the concept of fasting and the healing aspects as well as the muscle building properties of the food we eat and when we eat them as we age.

Even though this book goes in great detail about monthly cycles, it is packed with information that pertains to post menopausal women as well.

LeAnn wrote the forward; she speaks about taking in all the information around fasting and hormones. It’s like Dr Mindy is literally speaking directly to my situation and providing practical steps on how to overcome health and weightloss challenges with fasting. And what we’re doing as women is we are internalising that; we are creating more guilt, more shame, because we are not thriving in this patriarchal health care system. As a society women approach our day to day life as if, what happens inside our bodies would be the same day in day out. She justifies fasting in general from that lens, mentioning that hunter/gatherers had to rise each day and seek their first meal, effectively intermittent fasting and exercising in a fasted state.
