Okay so I only did it for 4 weeks before sacking it off but on my fast days I felt really weak and headachey. And just tired. I have low blood pressure so not sure if this contributes? In the book it said I'd feel amazing and really on the ball but I felt the complete opposite! I'd usually have homemade soup for lunch and then a low calorie meal from the 5:2 book I have, my favourite one was baked aubergine with bulgur wheat. I lost weight for the first few weeks but then started putting it on?! Granted, I did eat like an absolute pig on the 5 days that I could.
So I'd just like some tips because I really want to give it another go as I really want to lose weight. How do I stop feeling so shit on my fast days? And should I try curb my eating on the other 5 days? Thanks!

Am I the only person 5:2 hasn't worked for?
