I've been following this WOE for 4 weeks now and have lost 5lbs so far. I've found fast days to be ok and have generally followed a pattern of small low cal snacks if needed during the day then small portion of family meal + salad in the evening (can't sleep if I'm hungry!)
I'm a bit concerned though as during the last week I found myself feeling more and more tired and lethargic. I normally exercise at least 3 times a week (at classes such as Body pump, Spin etc) and have a fairly active lifestyle - gardening, walking etc. I could barely get through the class last night although I haven't had a fast day since friday. I was due one today but really can't face it! I just wondered if anyone else had found this to be a side effect of 5:2 - or if it's being caused by something else
Thanks
Pssibly yes, at times.
On a fast day sometimes I'm good and sometimes not.
In my case I don't know if its an hangover from working shifts.
By the way I see you're in the next county down, I'm just north of Telford. You?
