Fast Like a Girl by Dr. Mindy Pelz is a health and wellness guide that outlines fasting protocols tailored specifically to the biological rhythms of women. On The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett, host Steven Bartlett strongly recommended the book to his audience, advising everyone to read it regardless of gender. In an earlier episode, Bartlett reflected on a previous high-performing segment featuring Dr. Mindy Pelz, where she laid out specific nutrition and fasting strategies aimed at burning belly fat and improving overall metabolic health. Bartlett later welcomed Dr. Pelz back to the show, questioning her about the massive global impact the book had generated and asking why she felt compelled to write a text focused heavily on fasting for both women and men.
