I found this book after seeing it all over TikTok, and I’m so glad I gave it a try.Dr. Mindy Pelz explains fasting in a way that actually makes sense for women’s bodies, especially with how hormones affect everything. It’s not just about skipping meals—it’s about syncing fasting with your cycle and truly supporting your health.The book is super easy to follow, and I love how empowering it feels. I’ve already started applying some of the strategies, and I feel more in control of my energy and cravings. Whether you’re new to fasting or have tried it before and struggled, this book gives you the knowledge and confidence to do it right.

Best ever! Open my eyes . Started to follow the recommendation and my period in 10 days come back as used to be! So actually opened my views and now more things are very clear to me

Lots of really great information but having finished the book I’m struggling to process it all. Need to read it again

If I could give 10 stars I would. Love this book so much it’s eye opening, informative and I’ve already completed my first 48 hour fast with great results. Thank you so much ❤️

This is a very good book especially for those women who tried everything and still cannot lose the weight. I am one of them and during the last 4 years I switched from raw vegan to carnivore but nothing works because when restricting some things my body clearly needs them. This system gives me the flexibility to adapt to fasting and switch between sugar burning to fat burning without depriving my body of the nutrients it needs as whenever I went carnivore I craved fruit but when I ate fruit I felt not good, because the extreme was too extreme. Everything in my own experimenting and research now makes sense and I can stick to this way of eating for the rest of my life. I recommend. Many thanks!
