With a foreword from Dr. Jason Fung, author of The Obesity Code, this ground-breaking 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. Recognizing 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.

I just finished The Essential Guide to Intermittent Fasting for Women
Balance Your Hormones to Lose Weight, Lower Stress, and Optimize Health
by Megan Ramos
Just a quick synopsis of the book....
In The Essential Guide to Intermittent Fasting for Women, Ramos shares:
- Easy-to-use fasting protocols that can be incorporated into your busy schedule
- Information on when and how to eat to feel full and energized
- How intermittent fasting can support your health through fertility struggles, PCOS, perimenopause, and menopause
- How balancing your hormones and stress levels can help you avoid weight gain and depression
Designed specifically for women of all ages and their unique needs, this go-to guide provides you with the steps to take control of your health—for good.
As someone who does IF on a daily basis, I found myself realizing that I had holes in my own knowledge and learned so much from this book. I have rheumatoid arthritis. It is horrible. I have gotten to the point where I have managed it thanks to IF. It's not 100% under control but that seemed like a win. This book made me see that the way I was doing IF was excellent for just weight loss but not for the healing properties that I need.
I decided to try and implement some of the suggestions she made and I already feel a difference. This book will help you change the way you view food, how it helps us with healing and make you feel better all in all. Excellent for weight loss and my sleep is better.
It's easy to follow, and has some amazing meal times set in the book.
Highly recommend this one for anyone who wants to try IF and needs to have it set out with simplicity or someone who knows IF and needs this for reference
5 stars!! Thank you to @greystonebooks and @netgalley for my gifted copy
