The FastDay Forum

Hi all,

I have been on the 5:2 diet /WOE for about 5 weeks now with no major problems. Today is my designated fast day but I have woken up with a rotten cold and already my tummy is rumbling. Have any of you fasted with a cold or is it best to save the fast for when I am feeling better?

Thanks,
Jenny

Hi Jenny and welcome!

They do say starve a fever but feed a cold! I would go with what your body says so if you feel hungry I'd eat and fast another day.

Thanks Carorees. The rumbling has subsided now I've just had a large glass of water. I'll see how I get on in a few hours.
