    Hiiiiii,
    After completing the 8 weeks iv move into the 5:2 and I’m feeling lethargy after eating lunch. I’m still eating the same foods as the fast 800 but have increased my portions-could this be the reason?
    Anyone experiencing this?

    Hi Forkers. I didn’t ever do the 800 but I’ve found the opposite with regards to food coma.

    I think the sleepyness in the afternoon is down to a BS spike then crash which would normally be from too many starchy carbs. What sort of carbs are you having?

    Hi there,
    I made the fish pie recipe from the book so o don’t understand the crash. I do gobble it up fast maybe that’s it?
