This is a fantastic book, can be read after life in the fasting lane or as a stand alone.

This covers a lot of the key information that women need for fasting. Why we fast, impacts of hormones, recommended protocols, common issues and helpful ways to reduce them, a structured way to get into fasting, lots of anecdotal stories. Excellent guide for women getting into fasting or for those who currently fast but want to do it better.

This is the second book I have read/listened to on the subject of IF. Very helpful learning the same things from a different perspective. IF makes so much sense as a healthy lifestyle. Understanding the flexibility when faced with different celebration events or travel is a plus.

Great book - although I did think it focused a lot on long fasts - 24/36/48 hour fasts and glossed over 16/8 and other shorter ones. Definitely gives a lot of science based information and really interesting information about hormones and insulin resistance. Definitely going to refer back to this book.
Thanks to NetGalley, publisher and author for the preview copy.

Very informative, will probably implement some of the things I read

If you have read nothing on intermittent fasting and are a woman, this is probably a good primer. I’ve successfully lost 30+ lbs with intermittent fasting and am looking to explore longer fasting techniques. I didn’t find as much tactical guidance I was looking for in here. The tables at back were the most useful parts for me, I’ve already read enough convincing literature to believe the science is sound. Much of the book seemed a bit filler to justify the science with all the studies.
