Feeding window between fasts


(Summer Leitch) #1

Hi all,
I’ve been Keto for about 8 months. Feel great, and have no plans to go back to the dark side. Ever. Being fat adapted, fasting comes pretty easy, but that’s where my question lies. Recently, I’ve been doing slightly more extended fasts (compared to my normal 16/8). I am currently doing two 48 hour fasts per week. Between those two fasts, I open the feeding window for 9 hours.

I know that when we fast, we should truly fast … 0 calories. So I’m wondering whether that 9 hour feeding window is long enough between the two fasts?? I guess where I see the potential problem is if my body perceives one long fast with a “cheat” in the middle of it. What I have described works so well with my schedule, so I can be somewhat “normal” and social on the weekends, but do you think the 9 hours feed is long enough between fasts??

Thanks in advance for your advice :slight_smile:
