Do that for as long as you feel is necessary to get the point across that she wont get anything else. No treats, nothing but her food that you choose. The other few people mentioned that they free feed but do keep track of how much food is being eaten.
I'm trying to be patient because of tummy issues, but if the vet gives the go ahead for this method, I am going to start doing it. I don't see any difference in this or leaving food down all day and him refusing to eat it. And I'm really super over the food roulette game with him.
