The FastDay Forum

I started on 5:2 last week so I've been through 3 fasts so far and I noticed that my feet look a little bit swollen, they don't really bother me but I noticed the marks of my shoes on them and was wondering if someone had experienced the same.

Have you checked the salt/sodium in what you are eating?

Not really, but not major changes to my normal eating (other than a binge day yesterday, but I noticed the swollen feet last week too)

I do get the ankle thing now and again. I have decided it caused by one of these things...salty food, sitting at the computer too long or the hot/humid weather. I drink a lot of extra water and eat a banana and it goes away.

Hi there I have had the opposite reaction, my ankles and feet were severely swollen before I started and now they have gone down considerably. What fickle things we are!
