So rather than stress and worry about it, you can simply not practice intermittent fasting on Saturday and/or Sunday, and then continue your normal intermittent fasting routine on Monday. So should you intermittent fast daily? If you are following a 16:8 fasting protocol I recommend trying to at least commit to 5/6 days out of the week.
