Why fasting for women is different

A woman's body runs on a longer, monthly cycle, and what works in Week 1 actively works against you in Week 3. Fasting the same way every day ignores all of that.

The app tells you exactly what to do every day, based on where you are in your cycle.

Lose weight - and keep it off
When you fast at the right phase, your body keeps burning fat efficiently.
Wake up with real energy
Fasting at the wrong time drains you. At the right time, it fuels you with steady energy.
Feel like yourself again
Fewer mood swings, less bloating, better sleep.
Everything your body needs.
Finally in one place.

The simplest way for women to start intermittent fasting, and actually stick with it.

01

Know exactly when and how long to fast

Your fasting window updates automatically with your cycle, synced via Apple Health.

02

Give your body the support it needs

Simple guidance for each phase - to help with cravings, bloating, metabolism, and mood.

03

Stay consistent with coaching that feels kind

Small daily nudges that feel supportive, not shamey. Your plan adjusts to how you feel.

★★★★★
Fasting that finally feels right.

Everything women want to know
about fasting for their cycle

Is there an app to help me fast like a girl?
−
Yes. FastingBestie is an intermittent fasting app built specifically to help women fast in sync with their cycle. Your fasting window, food guidance, and daily focus adjust automatically across the four phases of your cycle: menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal.
What is cycle-synced intermittent fasting for women?
+
Cycle-synced intermittent fasting adjusts your fasting window and food choices based on where you are in your menstrual cycle. Longer fasting windows during your Power Phase, shorter windows at ovulation, and no fasting in the week before your period.
Is intermittent fasting safe for women?
+
Intermittent fasting is safe and effective for women when timed correctly to the menstrual cycle. The energy crashes and hormonal disruption most women experience typically arise from fasting too aggressively at the wrong phase. If you have a medical condition, please consult your doctor before starting.
How is this different from other intermittent fasting apps for women?
+
Most fasting apps give you the same timer every day. FastingBestie adjusts your full daily plan - fasting window, food guidance, workout intensity, and focus tips - based on your current menstrual cycle phase.
Does fasting for women work with PCOS, perimenopause, or irregular periods?
+
Not fully yet. Today, FastingBestie is built primarily for menstrual-cycle-aware fasting. Dedicated support for irregular cycles, PCOS, perimenopause, and postmenopause is not live in the app yet, but it is planned. Until then, our guides library covers those situations with more nuance.
How quickly will I see results from cycle-synced fasting?
+
Most women notice improved energy and reduced bloating within the first two weeks. Weight loss typically follows in weeks two to four, with the most significant results appearing after one full menstrual cycle.
Will I be hungry during intermittent fasting?
+
Much less than you'd expect. We start all beginners on a 13-hour window. For most women, this means not eating after dinner and having breakfast at the usual time. Hunger becomes minimal as your body adapts, especially during your Power Phase.
Is FastingBestie free?
+
The app offers a free trial so you can experience the real benefits of cycle-synced fasting before continuing with a paid subscription. No commitment required. Try it and see the difference for yourself.
