I generally dry fast during the day and eat at night.
eventually I'm want to transition to fasting monday thru Thursday, break it friday, eat whatever on Saturday, low carb on Sunday and back in ketosis on Monday morning.
for generally healthy people, there's evidence out there to suggest it's probably easier, safer, and more effective to do a couple of long fasts a year (10+ days) than repeated short cycles throughout the year. but to each his own.
if you're already in good health, that's probably more than enough to maintain it. i do two long fasts a year. 20 days between thanksgiving and xmas (solstice) and 40 days in late winter/spring (lent/easter/equinox). and intermittent fasting all year. not particularly religious, but those times of the year are easy to remember and prepare for and also makes biological/historical sense to me.
if a paleo man was to starve for a while, wouldn't it likely be in late winter after he's run out of all the stored food, dug up all the roots, and the snow makes it impossible to follow the herds? also in early winter cause paleo man maybe wasn't prepared for the season's first massive snow dump and can't track the herds.
What is your fasting regimen?

I do a 7 day fast every 3 months. Only water (filtered) for 7 days for a full system purge and reboot.
