| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights. So I get this question periodically. |
| 0:26.2 | You know, I'm losing five pounds in a month. |
| 0:29.0 | Is that normal? |
| 0:32.1 | Well, it depends. |
| 0:34.5 | But most people would say it's not normal. |
| 0:36.6 | You should be losing a lot more. |

| 1:25.7 | that comes out to eight pounds, right? So if you're losing five pounds, |
| 1:29.0 | you're like, okay, what's wrong? This is not normal. I should be losing two pounds, like Dr. |
| 1:34.0 | Berg said. Yeah, I said that, but I also said that's the ideal situation for someone with a healthy, fast |
