Women’s hormonal cycles require different fasting approaches than men. Here’s what works.
Cycle-Aware Fasting
Shorter fasts (12-14 hours) during luteal phase. Longer fasts (16 hours) follicular phase.
Signs to Stop
Missed periods, hair loss, extreme fatigue. These indicate hormonal disruption.
Recommended Protocols
Start with 12:12. Progress to 14:10 or 16:8 gradually. Avoid OMAD.
Conclusion
Women should fast more conservatively than men. Listen to your body’s signals.
