Close, I guess. What I've done for a couple months now is:
- Weekly 40 hour fast - I haven't missed this for 8 weeks in a row now. I basically eat dinner Tuesday night and then don't eat again until Thursday lunch time. I will say that I've yet to do a water-only fast - half of those 8 days I've had coffee with sugar free creamer and half I actually have some alcohol (calories). I'm probably not getting the full benefit and I want to get to where I do water only (we'll see though)
- IF virtually the rest of the time. And a more standard 18/6 is my usual - no breakfast, lunch at noon and dinner at 6:00
- Low carb most of the time, most weeks would be in the Keto range, some just low-ish carb
- I have drank alcohol pretty much the whole time. I would probably have lost another 3-5 pounds over those 8 weeks if I had eliminated alcohol - I just don't want to
The longer I go with all this and pay attention to health and fitness, it becomes more and more obvious that there is no right way to do this. You have to do what you can handle and stick to. There's many different paths to weight loss, you just got find yours.
