Looking to get into fasting, but only want to do 3 days per week. Timing is more or less between 7pm - 11am next day. Goal is not necessarily to lose weight, just other benefits such as metabolism, mental clarity etc...
I don't take any supplements besides vitamin c
Would fasting every weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun) be too much? I know 24-48 weekly fasts are best but would a 48-72 hour fast be too much? Eating lightly but enough Monday through Thursday and then fasting for the next three...

I'm considering doing IF (16/8), but due to my lifestyle (gym/work/personal commitments) I wouldn't be able to do it every day. I would mainly be doing it for overall health benefits, not specifically for fat loss. Will I still be...
