2 months on, one month off cycle


Explanation:
As the recommend consumption is 20 days a month, this would be the euquivalent to 2 months on, one month off.


Example sentence(s):
  • You do need a break every so often. I found maintaining a 2 months on, one month off cycle the best, your mileage may vary
  • we recommend cycling this product 2 months on, one month off, in order to reduce the chance of developing a tolerance

intercalar los meses de consumo y descanso
alternate (alternating) between months of intake and breaks


Explanation:
Fits syntactically and grammatically for the present participle or gerundive.

> intake and breaks rather than the longer-term weaning on to and off such supplements.

A high CL > confidence level by immodest British standards.



Example sentence(s):
  • This eating pattern involves consuming no calories on fasting days and alternating fasting days with a day of unrestricted food intake
  • Diet breaks are a popular dieting tool in evidence-based fitness circles.
