Hi there,
My husband is doing 5:2 and some days (like Monday) he felt like he was going to pass out, he gets the shakes and is soaked in sweat and feels like his legs are going to buckle. He has had all bloods done and is regularly checked and all is normal there. It’s not necessarily on a fast day either. He went to his GP the first time it happened and told him he was doing 5:2 which the doctor was fine with as he said it was the only eating plan he would recommend. The doctor did say that if he was doing a fast day and needed to eat then to eat and not to worry about going over on cals to say 700 or 800, easier said than done when you take your lunch to work and have nothing else.
We were wondering if anyone else had experienced this? Thanks

Thanks for the reply JFitzy. He does spread his cals out through the day but doesn’t have breakfast, I’ve also badgered him into drinking lots of water. He had his blood sugar tested and its fine and doc doesn’t think its a dip in that but cant say if it is 5:2. We were talking about it last night and wondering if it could be the electronic cigarette he uses. We will just have to keep tweaking and seeing if it helps him. Im fine on 5:2 so cant be much help 🙂

Thanks Angie090465, I think we will have to keep tweaking and fiddling with this new way or life and see if we can figure it out. I hope you don’t have any more episodes as they are quite scary
