Publisher's Summary

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

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.
  • Balance your hormones for better metabolic health and wellness, while easing symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause.
  • Experience a huge boost in physical and mental energy all day long.
  • Learn what foods best support weight loss, detoxification, and overall health.
  • Lift brain fog and help you sleep better.
  • Put aging in reverse...and so much more.

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. 

This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF of meal plans and recipes from the book.

Book itself was very informative and interesting. Unfortunately I found the narration very monotone which made it hard to listen to in big chunks.

Great information

Great information and easy to understand.
I found the voice a bit robotic & at times thought it was interchanging between human and robot, however, the book is very clear & understandable.

Great book, well worth the read

Great book for all women, the authors explanation of women’s hormones was very good for interesting and after just 15 days on the IF45 program I’m feeling better already- well worth the read.
Thank you -

Really wrong choice of the reader

Although the information is great but the reader is putting me to sleep and it is not possible to listen to more than a few minutes at a time which makes me very stressed out and increases my cortisol. Isn’t this but and it’s information supposed to be reducing my cortisol level by finishing it and doing what it suggest. It’s a pity.
I will be returning it and aim for another book with not such low energy reading.

A maze of rules…

There are so many rules and guidelines in here that I feel like if I didn’t already know about and actively practice fasting, I would feel like I’d fail before I even began.

There is a lot of great info on the body’s positive and cautionary responses to fasting from a medical stand point and I appreciated hearing that info reiterated. However, I feel like this guide way too rule bound and restrictive in its methodology and the majority of women are not going to be able to follow through. Which is too bad, because there are so many benefits to fasting (including weight lose) without integrating all her recommendations.

I would recommend Gin Stephens’ books first for newbies, and this as a follow up if you’re still struggling to see scale and/or non-scale victories.

The narration is also a bit monotone, made me a little sleepy.

Great Information! Concise

I have learned so much from Cynthia Thurlow! I never miss her podcast and I eagerly anticipated this book. It certainly delivers! Full of great information that I (a perimenopausal intermittent faster) will certainly implement. Am planning on purchasing a hard copy for my daughter as I think she could really benefit from this information.

My only criticism is the narration. Cynthia’s conversational voice is fine but she reads with a monotonous cadence and limited inflection. This distracts from the content and makes it difficult to interpret sentences and absorb the information easily. Especially with material as dense as this.

Overall I’m very pleased with this purchase and am thrilled to be armed with this information. Thank you, Cynthia!

Performance Somewhat Robotic

This book offers amazing advice and guidance and I also purchase the hardcopy so I could go back and study some of the chapters. Loved the content and it’s well worth your time!

This audio book would have been more interesting if Cynthia had put more inflection and emotion into her voice. The narration was somewhat robotic and often difficult to pay attention due to the monotone delivery.

So hard to listen to!

The information seems amazing but I am having the hardest time listening to this book! So frustrating! The author reads her book in a severely monotone voice that makes me either go to sleep, or feel sick. Super bummed because I think her information is excellent!

Useful but Al it if micro detail

Too much detail and referencing names of things I feel I don’t need to know. Also, I was left feeling it might be hard to achieve based on dietary recommendations. Too purist. Also, how do get the PDF referred to??! .

Monotonous and..

Chapter 5. Practice “Astrophysical” activities. Really? There is something wrong with this book. For starters, references are missing and a bit of polish in the wording is needed, like astrophysical activities, when referring to physical activities. I also agree with the comments on the audiobook being monotonous.

Unfounded statements

Poor nutritional guidance offered regarding vegetarian lifestyle - misleading
It’s a shame as IF is a great tool
This is probably the worst book I’ve read on fasting . I suggest if you are looking for good facts and fasting guidance, check out Jason Fung

Monotonous

This book may be an absolute gem but the monotonous delivery is enough to put you to sleep before you can take on any of the points made. With such a science heavy script, you need intonation and enthusiasm to deliver the message and not drown your audience in jargon and this was completely missing. I ended up having to turn it off and I've listened to several science heavy audiobooks, 'How Not to Die' included!! It's a shame! I probably would have let a professional narrator record it instead.
