Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Is intermittent fasting safe for women with hormonal imbalances?
Yes, when done correctly. Dr. Pelz specifically addresses how to modify fasting based on hormonal conditions like PCOS, thyroid issues, and perimenopause. The book teaches you to sync fasting with your cycle to support, not disrupt, hormone balance.

Q: Do I need to fast every day to see results?
No. Fast Like a Girl introduces cyclical fasting that varies throughout your menstrual cycle. Some weeks you’ll fast more, others less, which prevents metabolic adaptation and supports long-term hormone health.

Q: Can I do intermittent fasting during menopause?
Absolutely. The book includes specific protocols for menopausal and perimenopausal women, explaining how to adjust fasting timing and duration when you’re no longer cycling monthly.

Q: What makes this fasting approach different from other books?
Unlike generic fasting advice, this book recognizes that women’s hormones require different strategies than men’s. Dr. Pelz provides female-specific protocols that work with estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone fluctuations throughout the month.

Q: Will fasting slow down my metabolism or cause me to lose muscle?
Not when following Dr. Pelz’s hormone-based approach. The book teaches you how to preserve muscle mass, keep your metabolism strong, and avoid the common pitfalls that happen when women follow male-centric fasting protocols.
