"Flexible" IF | Forum

Hi, was wondering what your thoughts might be on flexible IF. If we put numbers on this let's say for example that instead of the familiar 16:8 protocol, one fasts somewhere between 16-20 hours a day (depends on the day), and similarly the eating window could be 4-8 hours a day.

I've been reading that the strict schedule is one of the important parts of IF and IF's benefits but I just can't seem to fit that to my life and end up with varying lengths of fasts, anywhere between 16 and 28.

Thoughts about this?
