  • Need Some Advice Re: Not Feeling Well

    I started yesterday with a terrible cold. I have a stuffy head, chills, etc. I don't feel like eating anything but I'm a bit worried about not getting in my veggies, etc. today so I'm looking for some advice.

    Will it be okay to just take some broth today and not worry about my veggies (just for today) as I'm not hungry at all?

    I've been doing so well, I think, I mean I've been at it for 6 weeks and I'm down 21 lbs but I'm not sure what's the norm so I think I'm doing well and I don't want to mess it up.

    Can you make a soup with those veggies with some meat if you want too?

    Cook them in some stock or just water with a few herbs in it till they are soft then wizz them in a blender to make them into a puree then add some more water or cream and butter to make a yummy soup!
    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

      If you are truly sick, you do get a grace period (from me alone) on if you are eating vegetables or not. I would still encourage you to eat them in whatever fashion you can eat. Put 'em the broth like Elizellen says mash 'em like cauliflower are just some ideas. I hope you feel better soon.

        if you are feeling intestinal or stomach ill then skipping then would be the way to go but if you are sick as in head or respitory then getting the veggies with their vits and minerals would actually help you get better faster.

        hope you are felling better soon.

        happy low carbing
