| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast. |
| 0:07.4 | Where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing |
| 0:11.3 | healthy weight. |
| 0:22.6 | Had a recent question, how often should you do intermittent fasting? |
| 0:26.8 | Well, good question, and there's several ways to do it, and let's just kind of go through |
| 0:31.2 | the different ways. |
| 0:32.2 | You have something called the five and two, which actually I do not like at all. |
