Ready to discover how fasting can harmonize with your bodyโs 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? Letโs clear up some misconceptions right off the bat: fasting doesnโt have to be that extreme!
In Dr. Mindy Pelzโs enlightening book, Fast Like a Girl, youโll find descriptions of fasts that last up to, and even beyond, 72 hours. But donโt worry, thatโs 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 youโre still feeling a bit hesitant, thatโs okay! This handy guide is going to demystify the science behind fasting. It will also introduce you to a concept known as โmetabolic switching,โ and explain how fasting can sync up with a womanโs hormonal cycle. Weโll 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.
โGrowth 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.โ โMindy Pelz
