Intermittent Fasting Plan for Women & Menopause

It's an eating pattern where you cycle between periods of eating (your "eating window") and not eating (your "fasting window"). It's a tool to manage when you eat, not necessarily what you eat.

It's normal to feel some hunger initially, but most people adapt quickly. Drinking water and staying busy helps. Also, eating protein- and fiber-rich meals during your eating window, as planned by Reverse Health, significantly reduces hunger.

Many women find success with the 16:8 method (a 16-hour fast with an 8-hour eating window). Our program helps you find the schedule that works best for your body and lifestyle without causing stress.

Yes. Black coffee, plain tea, and water are generally permitted during the fasting window as they contain negligible calories and won't break your fast.

No, short-term fasting, like the methods we teach, has been shown to actually boost metabolism. It's chronic, long-term calorie restriction that can slow it down.

IF may not be suitable for everyone, including those who are underweight, have a history of eating disorders, or have certain medical conditions. It's always best to consult with your healthcare provider.

When combined with adequate protein intake during your eating window, IF is unlikely to cause muscle loss. In fact, it can help preserve muscle better than traditional calorie restriction. Our RH meal plans are designed to be protein-sufficient.

We provide a safe, gentle fasting schedule, a nutrient-dense meal plan for your eating window, tracking tools in the RH app, and expert support to ensure you get all the benefits of IF without the potential downsides.
