re: Any negatives to fasting 20+ hours on the weekends?

It's unhealthy because you are essentially idolizing the junk food on the weekends.

What about option A? You just don’t eat junk food. I do OMAD during the week. It’s convenient, it’s usually a salad, a chicken or seafood entree with vegetables, and some dark chocolate or Greek yogurt with berries for dessert, about 1,500 calories. On the weekends I eat lunch & dinner to socialize with family and friends. But it’s not like I’m eating a container of Oreos, I’m still eating meat and vegetables. I’m just not paying attention to calories, and if I’m at someone’s house I don’t refuse the food they are serving because it doesn’t fit my diet.

I’ve been doing this about a year and I have a BMI of just below 25. I lost 30 or so pounds initially and continued to lose a few more pounds gradually over time. I think it’s an extremely healthy and flexible way of weight control.
