The Essential Guide to Intermittent Fasting for Women

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

With a foreword from Dr Jason Fung, author of The Obesity Code, this groundbreaking guide to intermittent fasting for women includes step-by-step advice for preventing and reversing metabolic disease.

As a teenager, Megan Ramos suffered from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and polycystic ovarian syndrome. By her mid-twenties, she had developed type 2 diabetes. But everything changed when she heard about intermittent fasting at the clinic where she was a researcher. Within six months of giving up snacks, adopting a diet high in natural fats and low in carbs, and fasting regularly for short periods, she reversed her metabolic conditions. And she began to counsel other people - especially women - about therapeutic fasting.

Today, Ramos has helped over 20,000 people improve their health through intermittent fasting. In The Essential Guide to Intermittent Fasting for Women, she shares what she's learned about fasting through clinical research, her own lived experience, and the experiences of the many women she's worked with. Women - juggling kids, careers, and their roles in their communities - are prone to stress, which drives up cortisol and estrogen levels in the body. Too much estrogen at any time is bad. But as we age, we produce less estradiol and more of its evil twin, estrone, which leads to weight gain, depression, and abnormal growths. Recognising this fact, Megan provides practical advice about when and what to eat, and how and when to fast, in ways that work with and support women first.

'Megan Ramos is one of the pioneers in the use of intermittent fasting ... This book of science-based advice and practical tips will be a valuable resource for many years to come.'
-Dr Jason Fung, New York Times bestselling author of The Obesity Code and The Diabetes Code

'Essential reading for any woman wanting to improve her metabolic health and make sense of her body, hormones, and sustainable fasting strategies.'
-Cynthia Thurlow, author of Intermittent Fasting Transformation

'Intermittent fasting has changed my body, mind, and life. I am truly grateful and humbled by humans like Megan who are sharing the truth about health.'
-Raven-Symone
