Has anyone with COPD, or Asthma or Bronchitis noticed any changes in their condition doing 5:2?

I normally use up 1 inhaler of Ventolin and 1 inhaler of Atrovent a week. My present inhalers were opened Jan.3 and I started 5:2 on Jan.5th. and there is a goodly amount left in both by the feel when I shake them. I know I’ve only been using them once or twice a day since I went on 5:2.

I’m just wondering if this is all in my head or it’s actually real. I think it’s real as I’m A. not using the puffers B. My chest doesn’t feel tight and C. I can deep breath without hacking up a lung.

I’m slightly lactose intolerant or maybe it’s just heavy creams. If I eat Rich ice cream it HURTS and I will get a mucus and congestion thing happening as well.

I don’t drink much milk, 1% usually and I’ll have a glass once every few months with a couple chocolate chip cookies. We don’t use much butter a pound can last our household 3 weeks or more, cheese I’ve cut back a little just because I’m not making sandwiches for lunch since November sometime.

That cut back is related to my intake of breads, rolls etc while usually 100% whole wheat was getting pretty high. 4 to 6 slices a day and I wanted to cut out the sugars and even when the wife makes whole wheat bread and uses Splenda as the sweetener it still causes insulin spikes. Being pre-diabetic I have issues with sugars or products that imitate sugars even natural foods high in sugar I try to avoid. Rutabaga, turnips, radishes, pine apple, grapes, cherries, bananas, and any dried fruit.

There some I eat that I know are high in sugars but still eat some carrots being the main one. I like carrots but again I don’t eat more than one at time raw. Cooked with a roast or steamed and basted with butter and brown sugar is different. I pay the price for the indulgence too.
