Yes, that is correct. I've done the 22 hours/day fast, 2 hour eating window for 2 1/2 years. I started the 5 days fasting out of 14 days cycles on May 1. Refeed durations can vary depending on social occasions, blood testing for Dr. Gundry (which I do after refeeding for at least a week) as well as travel. I was at our meetup in San Diego in August and fasted the entire conference, even paying for the meals I didn't eat so I could socialize. My wife usually fasts once a year for 7 days, so I join her for that. Am traveling and will visit relatives and friends this week for the holidays. Plan to fast most of that trip.Kenny4/4 wrote: Am I mistaken or do you fast for 5 days straight?
As I only eat 1x/day, I only need to skip 4 meals to turn it into a 120 hour fast. For example eat Sunday at 6PM and again on Friday at 6 PM. I am weight stable.
I should note I've been keto adapted since Oct 2009 and am very metabolically flexible.
One of my drivers for doing the fasts was Valter Longo's work. with fasting, fasting mimicking diets and upregulation of autophagy, apoptosis and stem cell stimulation.
