"How many days in a row do you tend to fast for or is it something you just do now?" -- have been doing this on a daily basis since 2nd October 2011 (so exactly 3 months now), never broke the fasting pattern I described above so far. I went from 5-7-meals-a-day frequent-feeding to intermittent fasting "cold-turkey" -- although the only real change is how your meals are timed. Do you spread them over the course of 16 hours ("normal" eating) or 4-6 hours (intermittent fasting) per day.

Note this is not a health hazard as long as daily nutrient and caloric needs are met every day.

Working out daily in a fasted state, starting the feasting-phase as soon as possible after the work-outs.
