First of all, the 5:2 diet is not even intermittent fasting because you are just lowering your calories.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Here are two reasons why this is not recommended: </p> <p>1. You are not going to adapt to a full state of ketosis.  </p> <p>2. No standard of what to eat.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Recommendation: </p> <p>Do intermittent fasting every single day and do it correctly – start with 16:8 daily, then if you are comfortable with the ratio, start shortening the eating window a little bit to notice better results.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Overview of Healthy Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent Fasting:  </p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMZfyEy_jpI">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMZfy...</a> </p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBqpaAKtnXE">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBqpa...</a> </p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnyFVWwzgJI">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnyFV...</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:</p> <p>Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional &amp; natural methods.
