Ready to discover how fasting can harmonize with your bodyâs 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? Letâs clear up some misconceptions right off the bat: fasting doesnât have to be that extreme!
In Dr. Mindy Pelzâs enlightening book, Fast Like a Girl, youâll find descriptions of fasts that last up to, and even beyond, 72 hours. But donât worry, thatâs 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 youâre still feeling a bit hesitant, thatâs okay! This handy guide is going to demystify the science behind fasting. It will also introduce you to a concept known as âmetabolic switching,â and explain how fasting can sync up with a womanâs hormonal cycle. Weâll 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.
âGrowth 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.â âMindy Pelz
