6. How Many Days Per Week Is Recommended?
IF is completely adaptable to your schedule and lifestyle. Since we sleep eight to ten hours every night anyway, continuing your fast for six to eight hours more in the 16:8 method isn’t that big a deal for most. In the 5:2 method, we eat regularly for five days and fast for two. For most people, they automatically adjust their fast and eat times according to their sleep/work schedule.
Doing any kind of weight reduction plan runs the risk of hitting a plateau at some point. Figure this into your time adjustments so that you don’t undereat during your eating times. The plateau will end as soon as the metabolism works itself out.
