Am Very Sick And can't Eat..

[Kimberly_P]

I have been sick for the past 4 days with Bronchitis and I really haven't eaten much either. I tried eating some pumpkin mixed with 2 tbsp butter and could only eat a couple of spoon fulls, I felt like I was stuffed and I don't know if that's because I'm sick or what but I have absolutely no appetite right now. I'm not sure what to do about eating today, should I just stick to broth and liquids or will that throw me out of Ketosis?

Thanks,
Kim

You can always make your own broth, or read the labels on any store bought broth.

Whenever I'm sick I have the same full feeling. Just be careful because I know with me when I fell better it's like RRROOOAAARRR and I want everything in sight. I hope you feel beeter soon. Bronchitis sucks!!

I agree. You can make perfectly legal soups. You don't even need to buy a can of broth. Just take whatever meat you have, brown it in a pot, add water to cover and bring to a boil. Cook the meat. Then remove and cut into pieces for garnishing your serving of soup. Use the broth for your soup: add veggies and boil until the veggies are cooked. You can puree the veggies and broth in a blender if you want a smooth, creamy veggie soup.

If you don't have any meat in the house, fill a pot with water, bring it to a boil, add shredded or finely chopped veggies and cook until the veggies are soft. You can swirl a lightly beaten egg into the soup for an egg drop thing or you can add shredded cheese to your serving.

Thanks for the advice I think I might try the soup, I tried to take a nap hoping I'd feel better and I woke up feeling worse I went to Urgent Care and the Doc put me on an anti-biotic but it's not working so I don't know what to do, I just don't want to mess up all of the work I've done on Atkin's so far because Induction was hard enough.

Antibiotics take anywhere from 24-72 hours to work. So be patient. Furthermore, some antibiotics can cause stomach bloating so you won't feel hungry. So it's important to eat or at least drink something.

Gosh that long! I'm so miserable right now I did manage to drink water today, it wasn't as much as I usually drink but I had some Crystal Light mixed with one of my bottles of water. I did eat a couple of Mozzarella Cheese Sticks and that's pretty much it. Hopefully I'm feeling better by tomorrow and my appetite returns because I've lost another 4 pounds since I've been sick and I don't really want to lose weight by not eating. I am gonna try to go to the gym tomorrow and do some light cardio then hit the pool and jaccuzzi for some relaxation.

Ohhh... I hope you feel better, Kimberly. Bronchitis can be so awful! I had a bad bout of it last year myself.


Get well soon.
