No, that would not be considered a fast. You have to go a length of time that your body starts to enter the fasted state (processes all food in your system). That is about 8-9 hours. Then you enter the fasted state. So an eating window of 8 hours is the most we recommend, 6 hours is better.Â
We also have clients that over time, when keto adapted, they eat 1 meal a day. Â Others can’t do the daily fast so they do a 24 hour fast 1 day a week. Â So there are a few ways you can do it. Â The optimum would be a 6-7 hour eating window with daily intermittent fast and an occasional 24 hour fast.
