Intermittent fasting intermittently?

[Tomas J]

Hi there,

I am a big fan of IF. I do 16/8 Monday to Friday. On the weekends I eat breakfast, lunch, dinner and sometimes even a snack in between. I have a great experience with that (huge increase in mental clarity, no brain fog, etc.) and I would like to test 20/4 (one meal to break the fast - ideally bone broth, and one big meal). While I was doing my research I've found recommendations to do longer fasts (like more than 16 hours) intermittently, meaning one should not fast more than 16 hours every day, but maybe every other day or so.

My problem with this approach is that I like to have my routine the same during all the work days.

What's your opinion and/or experience? Should I try to apply 20/4 Monday to Friday?

Thanks for any reaction.
