About
Fast Like
a Girl
Fast Like a Girl is a go-to fasting manual created specifically to address women's needs based on
their hormones and menstrual cycle by Dr. Mindy Pelz, a well-known expert on women and
fasting, whose fast-growing YouTube channel has become the destination for women who want to
learn about fasting.

So many women feel unheard by doctors and health professionals and have become exhausted by the
promise of quick-fix diets that only leave them disappointed. As someone who has been in the
trenches with you, Dr. Mindy wants to help you take back control of your health by using fasting,
which she says is the quickest path back to better health. In this book, Dr. Mindy will give you a clear
path to succeed by:

Providing you with the right steps on how to go from eating all day to intermittent fasting (13-15
hours)
Showing you how to fast longer with a path to do so safely (15-72 hours)
Laying out how to time fasting according to your cycle
Teaching you what foods to break your fast with to achieve better metabolic health
Laying out in detail two eating programs that best support a woman's hormones
Providing a visual tool that allows you to map your fasts and food to your cycle
Providing an easy-to-follow 30-day program that you can use to find your fasting rhythm

While most fasting books have taught a one-size-fits-all approach to fasting, leaving women with more
questions than answers, in Fast Like a Girl, Dr. Mindy will share the proven strategies, condition-
specific protocols, hacks that make fasting easier, and tools that she has used to help hundreds of
thousands of women both thrive with their fasting lifestyles.

Measuring Ketones &


Blood Sugar
WATCH VIDEO HERE

Dr. Mindy uses a Keto Mojo (USA, Europe) to


measure ketones and blood sugar during fasting.

Alternatively, if you'd like to dial in your blood


sugar even more, she recommends using a
Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), which
tracks in real-time your glucose levels
throughout the day.

Listen to her Resetter Podcast episode with


Dr. Casey Means on why glucose is the cause
of chronic disease.

Warning Signs
WHEN YOU SHOULD
STOP FASTING

WATCH VIDEO HERE

If your blood sugar drops below 50 mg/dL


(2.8 mmol/L) and/or your ketones rise above
8 mmol/L, this is a warning sign that you should BREAK
YOUR FAST, also if you are experiencing dizziness,
fatigue, and/or lethargy.

Important: You should be measuring ketones and blood


sugar 3 times per day (8 AM/12 PM/8 PM) while doing a
longer fast. I recommend using the Keto Mojo (USA,
Europe).

Fasting Journal

© 2024 | drmindypelz.com
The 3-Day Water Fast Journal

Fasting offers a profound journey into yourself. If you are willing,


it can be a beautiful partnership you enter into with your
body. An agreement to trust, honor, and discover a wisdom
that lives deep inside the trillions of cells that make up you.
A wisdom that is always working in your favor, never against
you. A wisdom from which the world may have disconnected
you. Fasting can be your reunion moment—an opportunity to
reconnect with the inner intelligence that is ready to heal you.

While this journal will help you track the various aspects of your
3-Day Water Fast, it is so much more. I created this journal to
deepen your connection to this inner wisdom. Keep in mind
fasting can be a mirror. When in the fasted state, you often will
see obstacles in your life that are holding you back, patterns of
thought that no longer serve you, or maybe even situations in
your life that need to change. This mini journal is designed to
help bring forth an inner knowing that is ready to reveal itself to
you. Without the noise of food, you will gain all kinds of insight.
My prayer for you is not only will fasting help you create a body
you love to live in, but it will reveal to you the steps you can take
to live a life that is filled with joy, love, and peace. A life that
you may have only dreamed of. Fasting can help make that life
a reality.

BURGER PATTY WITH GUACAMOLE


Makes 4 servings (1 burger per serving)

Ingredients

Burgers

1 pound ground beef


2 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
1 tablespoon coconut aminos
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup almond meal
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, grated
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Guacamole

1/2 small red onion, roughly chopped


1 small jalapeño, seeded and roughly chopped
1 medium heirloom or vine-ripened tomato, roughly chopped
1/2 cup cilantro
2 avocados, pitted and scooped out of skins
1 lime, cut into wedges
Sea salt

Instructions

Combine all the ingredients for the burgers in a large bowl (just
reserve 1 of the tablespoons of oil).

Using clean hands, combine all the ingredients for the burgers thor-
oughly, then set aside for the flavors to meld while you prepare the
guacamole.

and pulse until the mixture is roughly diced. Transfer the mixture
to a large bowl with the avocado.

Mash the avocado and onion mixture using a fork until it reaches your
preferred consistency—chunky, smooth, or somewhere in between.

Stir in the juice from a couple of lime wedges, season with salt to
taste, then set aside and cook the burgers.

Heat the reserved tablespoon of oil in a large cast-iron skillet over


medium-high heat. While the cast iron heats, form 4 patties. Once
the oil begins to shimmer, place the burgers in the skillet. Cook for
4 to 5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your preferred doneness.

Serve the burgers with a generous scoop of guacamole on top and a


wedge of lime.

BASIC BEEF BONE BROTH


Makes 6 to 8 cups (approximately 1 cup per serving)

Ingredients

2 pounds grass-fed beef bones


2 tubers of organic turmeric, cut into large pieces
3 organic garlic cloves, peeled
1 medium onion, cut into large cubes
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Wash the bones and place them in the bottom of a slow cooker.

Add the turmeric pieces, whole garlic cloves, and onions to the bones.

Add enough water to fill to the top of the slow cooker, then add in
the apple cider vinegar.

Set on medium heat for the first hour. Periodically watch for any
foam that might appear at the beginning of cooking. Scrape this
foam off as you see it form.

After 1 hour, turn down the heat to low and let the broth cook for
48 hours before you drink it.

Tips and tricks:

The quality of the bones is one of the most important aspects of this
wonderful broth. If you use chicken, making this broth takes bones
from 2 to 3 chickens. Chicken feet are also great to use, as they
create a more healing, gelatinous soup.
