Designed specifically for women, this individualized six-week intermittent fasting program is the sustainable solution to help you feel and look your absolute best. Based on the scientifically proven 16:8 fasting model, what makes this program unique is that it is geared toward your hormonal needs at every stage in life - whether you are cycling or in perimenopause, menopause, or beyond. Intermittent Fasting Transformation will help you: 

  • Lose weight steadily and burn fat without hunger, cravings, or plateaus - and keep it off.

Cynthia Thurlow, a nurse practitioner and an internationally known women’s health expert whose viral TEDx Talk has received more than 10 million views, developed this breakthrough plan after entering perimenopause in her 40s. Intermittent fasting didn’t just help her lose weight; she had more energy, fewer cravings, and lower blood glucose levels. Thurlow has now worked with thousands of women in her private practice to make her unique program of intermittent fasting work for them, too.

With meal plans and 50 recipes, along with advice for supercharging your fast, this plan will transform your life, slow down the aging process, and help you reclaim your health and well-being. 

Discover the customized nutrition plan that will help you be lean, fit, more youthful, sexier, and full of energy - at every stage of life.

Decent Information, Terrible Audio Experience

First of all, let me say that I didn't finish the audiobook. The book was narrated by the author herself, which I think is a terrible mistake. She is not a good narrator at all. 70% of the time, she was reading in a monotone as if she's bored of the content herself. 25% of the time, especially when it comes to lists of technical terms (ie. hormone names, chemical names) it sounded as if she put the text through an AI reader, sounding very machine-like. Only 5% of the time the narration sounded as if she's interested in the subject matter. It's difficult to keep listening when the narration is so boring, especially when the book can get quite scientific.

I've read/listened to some other books on fasting before, so I'm not unfamiliar with the subject. When I picked up this book, I was hoping it would give insights that are very specific to women, and that's what it claimed. Unfortunately, there was a lot of general fasting information and there doesn't seem to be enough focus on things specific to women. Now, keep in mind that I skipped around, so I may have missed it, but it was hard to get through all the general information that I could've gotten from other books already.

Part I of the book has a lot of general and technical information about fasting and the benefits of fasting, which kind of felt like a long pitch to convince you to fast with a lot of technical terms,

Part II talks about what to eat and the types of supplements to take and how to make your fasting lifestyle successful; however, it was still laced with a lot of technical terms and not broken down to simple to understand/absorb language. There were parts in both Part I and Part II where she lists a very long list of hormone names and chemical names. Perhaps it works better in print form, but it sure did not work well in audio form.

When I got to Part III, which offers a 45-day plan to fasting, including meal plans, I was anticipating it being straightforward. I thought it would've been do 1-2-3, and watch out for this this and that. But instead, there were even more paragraphs dedicated to convincing the reader/listener that fasting is good for you, even more paragraphs explaining how a certain hormone is reacting to the fasting, etc. This made this part very difficult to read/listen to, because I just wanted a simple action plan by this point in the book. Yet, the author is still explaining and trying to convince the reader/listener.

I end up returning the book. Perhaps this book will be good for people who have no idea what intermittent fasting is, want to know all the medical/technical skinny and can endure listening to a bunch of technical terms read out in a machine-like monotone. But it wasn't for me.

Did. It enjoy the audio experience

The audio experience was awful, it seems like a robot was reading the book. Also, the diet cuts a lot of food groups that I fear it may not be a reasonable lifestyle change. I was not able to finish the book because of the audio and returned the book by chapter 9.

Loved this book and was totally inspired !

I am that 50-something woman who has tried and failed to loose my excess weight gain during and after menopause no matter what I did - no diet and daily exercise shifted more than 1 lb without gaining it back the day or so after - I was deflated, confused, frustrated and even angry that no amount of commitment and determination worked for me! Clearly I was missing something !
This book has given me the missing information and yes some science to back it up ( which in my opinion adds weight to the strategy )
For me the author’s style and delivery of the content suited my learning style - yes there is a lot of scientific terminology in some of the chapters but it is clearly explained and totally relevant to why and how intermittent fasting works ( and it isn’t for everyone !)
If you are looking for a new way to live more sustainably healthy , see the pounds come off and maintain the weight loss this book is very much worth the few hours of listening and I am glad I found it !
