I have been doing 16:8 for the past 2 months daily. However sometimes due to my work shift or other factors, I don’t get in all my food during my eating window, so I have to go past the 8 hours. But the next day I end up eating later to hit the 16 hour fast.
​
This is an example of my fasting times:
8pm-12pm
10pm-2pm
11pm-3pm
​
As you can see, the time in between my eating window is always 16 hours, but the eating window itself can vary from 8-12 hours, due to not having the time to eat. My question is, if I still fast for 16 hours daily, but have an inconsistent eating window, will I still get all the benefits of fasting?
If you’re fasting for weight loss, and hour or so difference isn’t going to matter much. If you’re going for autophagy then you’ll need to work on shortening your eating window on days you need to.
Or see if a 18:6 or 17:7 will work.
