Feeling cold on 5:2 fast days

[Ilovesunflowers]

Is it normal to feel freezing cold on fasting days when doing 5:2 or 4:3? I can't seem to get warm on them, even using hot water bottles and warm clothes.

Not sure what to do as it's not a pleasant side affect.

Hmmm, could it be low blood sugar?

No I've been testing my blood glucose levels.

I do as well! But I am hypothyroid and I figure that on a fast day my thyroid steps down even further, so I just take an extra thyroxine tablet and feel warm again.

Interesting you should say that duchesse. I am contemplating asking to get my thyroid checked. Poor thyroid function seems to be running down my mother's family line.
