Hi gilld amd welcome! 
I can't answer your question, but I know that some people stop fasting while on holiday and return to it when they get back.

Even if you can't formally fast, you could try to have reasonable gaps between food, which may be beneficial in itself. Also the calorie restriction they used in the longevity studies in rats was about 20% so you could always do a standard diet with calorie restriction. The other possibility is the 2 day diet. This is a bit more complicated than the fast diet as you can't eat just what you want on the 5 days but the calorie restriction on the 2 days is not so severe. There is a thread on it somewhere.
