Can I ask if the 2 fast days have to be 2 days together. Please?

My mum did a similar version of day fasting day off day fasting etc.. Does this work just as well?

Thank you.

He actually recommends that you split them up.

Splitting them up helps me with the denial of eating when I want to - you can actually say 'can't have that today, but you can tomorrow'. By which time the craving has usually passed.

I do Mon / Thurs so I never have to pass up weekend invitations.

Yup - two consecutive days wouldn't work for most people, I think. Mon and Thur for me too. Goo d bookends to an enjoyable weekend.
