You're welcome!

Just keep in mind there's not much research about how this may change metabolism compared to a strict fast.

It may reduce any desired autophagy effects, which are unfortunately not very well-studied in the first place, but it may just es well increase them! I've seen both POVs argued in various articles.

The only actual scientific study I can find (1) does show some interesting effects on various metabolic markers, though (in rats).
